Couldn’t have asked for better weather as it was shirt-sleeve warm and hardly a breeze. Half of the attendees were first-timers! All agreed that the shooting venue, thanks to Jeff G., was 1st Class. Even Bob T., who has perhaps the world’s loudest .243, agreed. Our usual hamburgers were supplement by chef Mark G.’s excellent kielbasas. Tom L.’s coleslaw was depleted quickly as were Cornelius N’s chicken enchiladas. Finally, it should be noted, Sheila S. (“I never win anything!”) won the door-prize Bowie knife. A New Feature – The TR Book Review Our first book review is American Rifle – A Biography. This is a not-to-miss history of the rifle up and to today. I first read this book in 2008 and reread it in 2012. It is very informative and the author has a gift for taking dry history and making it entertaining. I can’t recommend this book highly enough.
