Good day, friends!!

It's my considerable honor to announce that Desert_Diver has been elevated to the status of Designated Shoot Boss. Huzzah!  :F  :beer:

Jon is an accomplished shooter, and an able and consistent Instructor and Shoot Boss.  He tells a GREAT story, always leaving his audience something to stew on afterward.

He is dedicated to our Mission, has served the program well for 8 years, and I'm proud to have him in my state.

I could go on, but he's also a humble dude who puts the program and the mission ahead of his own ego  :)

Congratulations, Jon.  You've earned this.

"Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't." - Margaret Thatcher

You can have peace, or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. - Robert A. Heinlein

Sufficient speed, Acceptable drag.

So what is Project Appleseed Business?  What would the Ghost of Project Appleseed say to us?

"Business!'" cried the Ghost of Project Appleseed, wringing its hands again.  "Liberty was my business; Heritage, History, Freedom, and Pursuit of Happiness, were, all, my business. The deals of Marksmanship were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!"
-Adapted from Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol.

CONGRATS!!! :beer:
It's not about perfection -- it's about progress!!

I LOVE this stuff!

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again" Ronald Reagan
