Zane participated in the 2nd Annual Armed Forces Memorial Match Shoot in May. Amber, the kids and I went to watch the boys on Sunday. It is held at the Colorado Rifle Club in Byers. Zane shot with open sights (which means he did not use a scope) and competed against a team of Marine’s. I was able to go down into the pits where the targets are during part of the match. This was a very neat experience and I am thinking about competing with Zane next year!

Here are the names of those honored at the memorial:

Here is Zane shooting. This was the 1000 yard shoot.

Here is Brian shooting. You can see the targets off in the distance.

Barrett and Kyla found enjoyment in filling up this bottle with dirt.

The sunset was so beautiful on our drive back into Denver. This picture was taken while in motion!
