First, I need to thank ALL of the members of this most excellent site for the very generous and overwhelming response to this request - you guys rock. I wish I could have used all of you who responded, but I had to select just a handful.

Next, I'd like to personally thank those who did attend today.
TeamRico

You gentlemen provided an amazing service to this military organization and helped to ensure todays event was (most importantly) conducted safely and the attendees had a great time. While some of them had some fine firearms, looking at the assortment of firearms from our site members put the look in their eyes of a 5 year old on Christmas morning.

Thank you all for allowing my coworkers the opportunity to shoot some great guns. I did take one of our members up on an offer to shoot an HK USP Elite. Oh man, that is one sweet shooter; thank you!

Special thanks go to TeamRico for giving the opening range briefing and calling the line hot & cold throughout the event, OneGuy67 for your amazing monitoring of the line during live-fire (I bet your kids don't get away with anything), and BPTactical for checking out that SP1 (will be getting the extractor upgrade from Bowers on my next Denver trip) and for, well, just for being so awesome.

Cofi & ChadAmberg, I also wanted to make sure I thanked you guys for the attention and assistance you provided on the occasions they needed it. While most everything functioned and flowed smoothly, there were a few occasions that required you to step in and you did. It did not go unnoticed!

While I was a bit disappointed over the attendance from the military folks (I was led to believe there were going to be a LOT of attendees), I think todays event was a smashing success and I'm certain they'll want to do this again. Once today's attendees get back to work and brag about today I think the next event WILL have considably more attendees. I'd also be willing to bet that some of todays attendees will be purchasing some new toys soon.

For those who had never met me before... I'm not quite what you pictured, am I? That's okay, I get that a lot. <grin>

So, once again, thank you all so very much and I know that if it were not for your participation, today's event would not have been as successful as it was. I owe you all!
