Another annual tradition, the MA Winterseed, was completed with great success this Feb by the intrepid patriots of New England.  In spite of a fresh snowstorm, shooters arrived at the club before the range had even finished clearing us a firing line, and proceeded to do their damndest through snow, wind, and occasional flashes of sunshine.  In spite of that, New Englanders came out, persisted, and put their rounds on target (though a few might be shopping for optics for next time). 
You can never be too rich, too good looking, or too well armed.

Congratulations to our newest Rifleman!  To earn Rifleman at a Winterseed is an accomplishment in and of itself!

You worked hard, you persisted.. you teased and tormented the RedHats with your scores that were "almost" and "not quite".. only to make us wait until the LAST AQT of the day to show us that you will NOT be a cook. 

By joining the ranks of fellow Riflemen you have attained a distinction that few have..and as a Winterseed Rifleman.. even fewer still.   My hat is off to you sir..

As always it is an honor and privilege to work with and to assist so many Patriots dedicated to such a worthy cause.

Harvard Mass. WinterSeed.   Weather:  A few degrees below freezing, 8 inch snow storm moving out by midday to partial clearing.     Our common history was related with passion given as we are essentially in the same place as the events of April 18 & 19 1775 occurred.  Some of us live in the towns and on the routes of the Battle.  Referring to books such as Fischers "Paul Revere's Ride", Di Spigna's "Founding Martyr"  and other sources to further the interests in the ideals, individuals and events that created this Revolution.
8 shooters experienced and beginners, all motivated and aided with 7 seasoned instructors produced increased knowledge of their Arms, improved groups and accuracy.  Despite the improved skills and fair number of AQTs perforated, it was only the youngest shooter who qualified with a 210.  It has been been our custom to sometimes surprise a 210 Rifleman with a shower of Concord River water.  With this day's below freezing temperature a pot snow substituted.  (Credit Christine for the 210 award photos).

Very happy my son Patrick managed to get his Rifleman Patch, and at a Winterseed no less.
Thanks to everyone for making this event a success.
