Awesome shoot!  I was first impressed by the 7th stepping.  Four veteran ASers returning with four first-timers!  Outstanding!  It just got better from there.  We had fun, you worked very hard, and the results showed.  The good got gooder and novices to rifle shooting learned to safely and properly handle a rifle.  Shooting from 100yd. was awesome, and Will the Steel Target might never be the same.  I'll weigh in with pictures later when my phone recharges but for now, instructors and students feel free to chime in below and post any pictures you may have!

The question is, are we up to it?" - YHJ

Another fantastic Appleseed at Sand Burr Gun Ranch!  This is an excellent range with excellent hosts, so a huge thank you to the owners for everything you do to support Appleseed!

It was great to see some familiar faces as the shooters pulled onto the range.  7th stepping most certainly at it's best...these shooters took what they learned at their first Appleseed to heart and most certainly did their part in helping the program double.  So thank you all for stepping up to help save this glorious Nation!  We quickly realized we had a private party going on, which set the tone for a weekend full of friendly competition and fun!  Everyone was surprised to see the results on that team shoot, huh?   ^:)^  It just takes putting everything together - so, what were those 6 Steps again?   :cool2:

Each of you were a pleasure to work with.  From that first Red Coat target on Saturday morning to the final *ding* on steel, I enjoyed the time with all of you.  Remember what you've learned, remember and honor the sacrifices made for us - posterity, and I look forward to seeing you all again soon.
