Ok that was just fantastic.
History. Responsibility. Marksmanship. Comaraderie.
Best. Weekend. Ever.
And we got to shoot a bunch of rounds!
I am definatly coming again to the one in June, going to bring a different rifle.
I think I am going to do this with every rifle I have. Try to get a Rifleman Patch for each one. That.. .would be a good goal.
ALL I gotta say is, I with my wife shot as good as Sue, I wish I had as full a beard as Bill, Was as friendly yet subliminally frightening as Dave, and could procreate as amazingly often as... I cant believe I forgot his name.
My brain is dead. What a weekend.
What a fine bunch of shooters. I would be a Cook all my life just to hang out with those fine examples of Indianas skill with the rifle.
All I can say is...
They answered the question of why their hats were 3 cornered as well as why a feather was called "macaroni" One child asked "Were you in the RW?" after much laughter he kindly explained no he wasn't.
It was called macaroni due to a famous clothes designer of that period having that name. The colonials were a ragtag bunch, and so when they placed the feather (for identification) the red coats would sneer: "They think it's Macaroni!"
The tri-cornered hat served to prevent a wind from blowing the hat off. Check one out and you will see how well it works!
