Great AS weekend.

The weather was great.  It was in the mid to low 50's up from 36 in the morning.  Breezy but not windy.  Very nice.

The IIT's did well on their performance and passed the PCs.

Congratulations to Jollybfd and Capn Cook on promotions for IIT3 and IIT2 respectively.

We had 9 shooters on Saturday and 9 shooters on Sunday.  Everyone showed improvement.

Two Riflemen emerged on Sunday.

Gary,  congratulations you worked hard and struggled through each aspect of firing the shot.  Thank you for taking the Orange hat as well.  (as soon as you get signed up on the board we will make it official)

Congratulations to Bob as well.  Bob in a Marine who served many years ago.  I suspected he was a rifleman from the start.  It did take a couple of weekends to knock the rust off but he did it.  Shot a perfect score of 210!  I hope to have pics of us cleansing him with the water from the Ol' North Bridge.

To 4bfox and gpbbiker thank you for all your hard work.  I got great feedback from several students.

Biker thanks for cooking breakfast.

Once again feel free to post your stories here.  And post you pics if you have them.

I used to think these things might be coincidence, but not any longer!

Wish I could have been there.  Unfortunately I had to spend the weekend sick in bed.   On the positive side, I did get to finish reading that book gpbbiker recommended at the last study night.

Congratulations to Bob and Gary.   They were both pretty close the last time I saw them, and it is good to see them finally get those last few points.

We got pics:

CONGRATS to Bob and Gary!! Way to stick with it.....I KNEW you would be Riflemen, BECAUSE you PERSEVERED! Glad the crick was dry, Bob..it would have been a chilly swim....

Good job Lucas...the young man getting the Youth patch...his FIRST shoot, he's on his way! All the other shooters made great improvement, PLEASE COME BACK and build on what you learned here.

Hello all, Ray here.

It was good to get back to an Appleseed shoot.  My first one was over two years ago, and that is too much time between.  I'm hoping to make it to a winterseed if one is scheduled early in 2011.

I enjoyed the time with all the friendly people, and learned enough to keep me busy for a while.

I had some problems with my vision, and am interested in the information in the link above, but it appears to be locked away from me.  gpbbiker, thanks for looking for solutions!

For those who cannot access the information elsewhere.
Merit sight-site is here - http://www.meritcorporation.com/products.html
MidwayUSA and other sites on-line carry them.
I like the Williams Firesight for Ruger 10/22 and the Merit variable aperture.
The front blade makes a way cool front post aperture that circles the 4th stage AQT silhouettes nicely if you remove the colored optic fiber.
The colored fiber covers more than 4 M.O.A. @ 25 meters.
A bit pricey for the Merit but it works for me.
No click adjustments for windage/elevation.
Your mileage may vary.
