I'd like to start off by thanking the York-Adams Game & Fish Association for the use of their facilities, they are gracious hosts, and we could not ask for a better partner in liberty. We had a 3 instructors on site for this two day Rifle Clinic to provide excellent instruction to 7 patriots.

We started off Saturday with cool weather and a Hits Count! target. Instructors worked with the students through the morning to get them comfortable on their respective rifles, build up their prone positions and dial in their sighting systems. History was presented by Bookman and enjoyed by all. By the end of the Saturday, we had 3 cleared Redcoats and even a Rifleman!

Sunday brought cooler temperatures, giving shooters many opportunities at AQTs.

In addition to AQTs, our Riflemen took the opportunity to help out Captain Parker in exacting revenge on the Regulars and Colonel Smith. Across three targets, the shooters exacted quite the toll on the King's troops including 7 hits on Smith! By the end of the weekend, Allison, Mark, Larry and Ed had cleared their Redcoats and earned their Rifleman patch, Huzzah!

As always, remember the lessons you learned this weekend about the rights given to us by our forefathers, and do what you can to preserve these rights by participating in your government, practicing your marksmanship and dry firing at home, and of course coming back for another event and bringing a friend! Overall, an excellent weekend of comradery and history, thank you to all!

Really couldn't have asked for a better group of instructors.  They've made an Appleseed fan of me, and an American Revolution history buff now as well.  Good location and facilities for a southcentral Pennsylvania event.  I certainly hope to be back again.
