Well I will be on to say this event looks to be a blast. Althought I did not particapte today I meet some of the members and also "OldKim" did some walking around and man this looked to be fun and also a great learning experience. If you haven't been to a course yet I would highly reccomend it and this is coming from someone watching from the side lines. thanks for the welcomes to who I met today. The shoot off looked to be a blast too!
but all in all good folks fun event and looked to be very educational.

It was great to meet you today! And you bet, SOTM is a hell of a lot of fun and educational too! We rocked the pistols, rifles and shotguns all day long, and several of us were sporting the new WGO colors on hats and T-shirts. Many thanks to oldkim for supporting our site and giving away some of our gear to help get the word out!

You really need to come and shoot one... We had all 7 Bays going from basic steel to intermediate IDPA/USPSA. Other areas of focus: Strong and weak Stress induced reaction Moving Target Accuracy 101 Rifle and Shotgun galore 36 shooters... Thanks to all the Safety Officers! Truly without all the expertise and selflessness of these folks I could not do all the things you see above. These are the true folks that deserve the credit! Another one down.... all safe and all is good. Until next time.

What a DAY!! Weather held out and all 7 bays were stocked with action and education. EVERYBODY was top notch and courteous.
Gerard and Christian on bay 4 were rocking some awesome defensive tactics and our own Madpick on bay 5 with the moving target was a nice change up to shooting stationary! The Powerfactor guys were in bay 7 showing off some more advanced competition skills and the SOTM course in bay 6 was well setup with multiple targets that kept you on your toes. I curse bay 1 and those damn steel targets though... I have no clue on how I can hit a paper plate 20' away while sidestepping but not hit a large metal plate stationary... grrrr.
WGO schwag was in top form and hope the site got a little additional exposure. Oldkim put a nice plug in for us during the safety meeting and even gave away some of our schwag.
Oldkim, all I can say is THANK YOU! This was an awesome event. I can't wait for more... I NEED more (once the ammo budget replenishes my supply).
Just in Joy, USRifle and Quantstuff, it was great to finally put some faces to names too!

Learned a ton, and got some stress innoculation, plus cigar. Met great people, and learned a ton more by watching and listening to them. + Hot pickled pepper hot dogs #WINNING! as the kids say nowadays. My thanks to Kim and all the RO/SOs.
