---NOTES---
NOTE 1:
Some of the instructors started off with their personal ammo donations which was not counting in the starting balance. Only 2 instructors 7 .22lr instructions needed ammo at the start. Thus if we assume each of the other instructors started with a box of 500 per that mean 2.5K that was used but not counted. Adding that 2.5K to the 2.5K used in inventory gets us to 5K which is within the average we go thru from year to year. (between 4k to 5k)
NOTE 2:
In 2017 the labels for the inventory count for .223 and 7.62 where flipped in error. Thus the starting points where wrong. In addition 300 .223 were donated on the day of the event.
@Sadclown did someone drop off additional ammo at your bench?
---PARTICIPATES & STAFF---
DNR reported that 71 people attended the eventm down from 128 (highest ever in 2017).

INGO: 17
Others: 3
--EQUIPMENT--
1 broken AR extractor bolt I think belong to Audie Murphy
1 broken bolt handle belong to 1775usmarine
1 bend 10/22 extended mag release belong to ?? d.kaufman ??
1 non-functional DNR handgun pre-event issues ???
This is the first time we have had equipment failure but we had plenty of backups to keep on going.
---THANKS---
Another successful event all because of you guys!
THANK YOU THANK YOU
to everyone that pitched in to help be it the day of the event or on the per-event with donations, bring ammo from other parts of the state, etc. I can NOT stress enough that without your help that little girl using the pink rifle and a big smile on her face is not possible.
Your generosity is appreciated by the DNR staff and me.
The cooks once again outdid themselves. Thick Bacon cheese burgers with 3 different kinds of cheese plus all the fixings onion, lettuce, tomatoes.
I'm not a big fan of baked beans but these were oh so good. But the real treat were the ribs. If you missed those you really missed out!
Did ya notice the ninja that was all over the place? She was in a white raincoat with here camera just snapping pictures away all day long. One moment I would see here on the 25 yard and then at the 100 yard. I'm not sure if she ever took a break.
A big shot out to d.kaufman for taking the lead on the T-Shirts this year and having us look all proper and organized. Sadly I did not see any PINK t-shirts. Guess that is why I'm not in charge of T-Shirts.
Lastly all our instructors and ROs who kept us once again accident free and were calm and relax with everyone that they taught from the littlest child to the oldest adult that came by. You are the reason this event is possible!
--FINAL NOTES--
The little girl who was using the pink rifle was not only a first time shooter but her mom (whom brought her and her son) was concerned at check-in of the activities as they had never been around guns before. They all walked away with a smile on their faces. It is these people that make it all worth it. She was not anti-gun but someone who had never experienced firearms before and was afraid to try them. This event gave them a proper setting to have a good experience with firearms and walk away seeing them in a different light then what the media always shows them as.
That right there makes the entire event, all the hard work, the logistics of pulling it off worth it.
