"If you want to be great, be Grateful..." One of my beloved quotes I've taken shamelessly and recycled...
I have just had a great night's sleep back in my own bed and I have gathered my thoughts from the last 48 hours....
I got so many things to be thankful for:
* a fantastic pointman who shared all our waking moments dreaming/organizing/visualizing/ and now following up this epic weekend of 29-30 April 2017
* a most inclusive visionary of a CDTSA / Milo GC President who bent over backwards to facilitate this clinic spearheaded by Match Director Buckaroo
* a welcoming, on-point and focused community of shooters who came together and the gell'ed to make the 2012 transition a reality (back to the good old days)

* a crew of safety Assistant RSOs like Guy/Alex who helped me maintain the high standards of safety expectations
* That super little girl at the Chinese Buffet in Vulcan for her help in making the Saturday Food Coma a reality, once again...

* Our 2 lady shooters who laughed at my crude/insensitive/often politically incorrect/tasteless/recycled / stale jokes; I was able to keep the firing line "light hearted"

* our most patient shooters who battled through all the operator sourced errors (not always rifle/pistol/magazine related); good of you to take ownership!!
* Dlian: thanks for bringing that helmet, sure is nice on the Modified Prone, eh?
* Our tolerant shooters who put up with my jokes because in my efforts to facilitate a light hearted learning environment some give and take is required, Thanks to you!
* CGNutz folks out there, you guys make this community just that; a great community, it's bigger than each of us!
* And to all my haters out there, I extend : Forgiveness, Love, Compassion, and Kindness.... Thanks to you, I will work even harder!
I ain't a gunfighter, or a sniper, or a paratrooper, or a gunsmith, but I am a Religion Teacher!
Most humbly yours,
Barney
PS: I do shoot an NEA.... No jams ever....
But honestly, buy a Glock (and I bought my own, I'm not using a sponsored Glock.... yet....)
And one of the best price point rifles is my beloved Armalite from Wolverine Supplies:
