A most excellent weekend in Liberty with a great group who braved thunderstorms on Saturday, high winds and were rewarded with a nice(-er) day on Sunday.

We had a line of first timers, which makes telling the history of April 19, 1775 even more fun.  All were intent on soaking in both the marksmanship instruction as well as the Three Strikes and our Dangerous Old Men tales.  The marksmanship improvements from this group were nothing short of remarkable.  Bob was constantly smiling and trying new techniques, Brandon was bearing down, Vincenzo and Bruno showed us what early perfection looks like.  Randy translated his field shooting ability and is now asking for more.  Xavier was really rocking the bolt action CZ and Matt showed us what an old 11 Bravo can do.  It was great to have Jack show up with his A2 and let loose the centerfire sound of freedom.  Congrats to Bruno and Brandon for posting Rifleman scores.  We saw some very high scores from others, especially when volunteers Andy, Pete and Tom got involved.  Congrats to Tom for requalifying with his AR and the new ACOG.

We look forward to hosting you guys again.  Special thanks to my great instructor crew, Fidget, Pookie, OpenSites, Nehemiah, Sir Kay, Merlin33 and Lancelot.

I know Fidget got a bunch of pics...post 'em!
