Please join me in congratulating Madeline - she's going to make a great instructor!

Can't we all just agree to disagree in a civil fashion while the planet's last, fading hope of liberty and prosperity gets snuffed out?

No. We can't.

Congratulations and THANKS for stepping up!

The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

-- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003

The pic is from a news article about Appleseed and LCSC, I think that she just got the hat.

Somewhere I have a pic of her being presented with her NRA marksman patch, but I can't find it. (about 11 yo)
And on our "fun" nights, there were a couple of young ladies that would take turns shooting a steel woodchuck in the head, and then pulling the string to stand it back up, and shoot it again.

Congrats again!

Super Trooper

The hardest distance to shoot is the six inches between your ears.  It gets easier when you get out of your own way.  Self doubt and negative self talk have no place on the firing line. 
Once a shot is gone... good or bad, it is gone.   Focus on the next one. Make forty good first shots.

Well done. Hope to meet you down the trail some day.  O0

Well done Madhatter.  It seems like just yesterday we went to our first Appleseed, but actually it has been over 10 years.  Having you there has made the journey more memorable.  Congratulations and a big HUZZAH!

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1775

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."  George Washington 1790

"[T]o preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…"
- Richard Henry Lee, Declaration Signer

Practice every time you get a chance. - Bill Monroe

Maddie, words can not express how proud I am of you. Well done! It has been my honor and privilege to know and mentor you for ten years. When I first met you, I knew the future of our country was in good hands. LYLAMM!
