Eleven hardy souls braved the steamy Virginia summer to hear of battles of Lexington and Concord and subsequent British retreat to Boston, and to practice the skills of pistol marksmanship.  A fine weekend on all accounts! 

More to follow with pictures and commentary soon!

An excellent weekend, and excellent instruction by all the instructors! Great history (stealing some presentation ideas for my next event). A fun group of students as well. Now off to do some dry firing (got to get over the flinching/expectation of recoil)....

My new slogan-"As a Pistoleer™, I'm a semi-decent rifleman." Consistent improvement over the course of 3 PQT's, still need a lot of practice, though.
"(Were) they nourished by your indulgence? They grew by your neglect of them. As soon as you began to care about them, that care was exercised in sending persons to rule over them, in one department and another…Sent to spy out their liberty, to misrepresent their actions and to prey upon them; men whose behaviour on many occasions has caused the blood of these sons of liberty to recoil within them."
