The flintlock alarm candle clock, popular in the 17th and 18th centuries, was a sophisticated, high-end mechanical device that combined timekeeping with a startling, dramatic wake-up call.

It featured a clock-driven mechanism that, at a set time, would trigger a flintlock gun mechanism to ignite gunpowder, creating a loud noise, flash, and lighting a candle to wake the sleeper.

Primarily made in Germany, Italy, and London around 1650–1750, they are incredibly rare today; one example sold at auction for $54,000.

Semi-automatic long guns, such as the AR-15, have been a hot topic of political rhetoric for decades now. And for those same decades, those same fi****ms have remained statistically under-represented in violent crime, while remaining wildly mischaracterized in policy debates and lawmaking.

From all of us to all of you, CONGRATULATIONS!

The end of the season results are in! We won our conference by 38 points!

Ashlyn Inman & Re*****on Beatty finished the season with 23.4 averages which placed them tied for 17th best in the state between 1A & 2A teams.

Ashlyn finished 1st Female in conference. Remy finished 2nd Male in Conference. Tristan Bedwell finished 7th Male in Conference. Audelia placed 7th Female in Conference. I believe Reese should have placed 6th Female in Conference but it doesn't show her on there, so I will have to get that figured out.

Ashlyn and Remy both shot a 50/50 once this season.

Brayden English, Dylan Edmondson, Reese Drogich, and Tristan Bedwell all shot 25/25s this season.

Now we practice hard for state on June 20!
