Riley sent me 5 cappers and powder measures - bought with grant funds I believe.
Beaverman sent me 2 possible bags and 5 ball bags (those special hardened ones that work so well)
Big Smoke sent me 5 powder horns, beautifully done. Makes me want to give some of mine to the Scouts and keep these!!!
Finally - just received today from Eric Davis 3 possible bags and 5 short starters.
The trail walk for the Fort Grizzly Rondy is built with 5 stations with 2 separate targets to shoot from each one. Trail groups will be
up to 6 boys. The 5 complete trail bags will allow us to keep all 5 stations going. We have 14 rifles including 2 left handers so we should be
in great shape. This event will be limited to 120 boys ( and that should just about wear out the 30 some staff we have recruited - and I sure hope
all will commit.)
We will take a lot of photos and even some U-tube type videos. When that is all done I will get with one of you puter xperts and get them posted out
there on the WWW somewhere to have a look. The event is scheduled for the 1st weekend in October with a couple of staff camp {dry runs} first
to set up all the events and check for safety and difficulty.
Once again our thanks to TMA and the Youth Grant BOD. I hope many more youth ML groups can get a boost from us.

Don't that just make a guy all warm & fuzzy?
Okay, I am always warm & fuzzy, but this makes me warmer & fuzzier.....
Seriously, I am so proud of the BoD members (& advisers) for stepping up to the plate on this one & knocking it out of the park. This is on top of the 7 rifles we gave away this year through the grant program. You guys are great!
