AAR: Rochester Indiana, Sept 24-25 2011

[yellowhousejake]

Wet. It was wet.

But that did not stop our intrepid attendees. Even though we had a very late start Saturday waiting on the lighting to end, we made good time and got caught up with the instruction in time for six AQTs on Sunday and a full KD lesson.

I can only think that had we been given a few hours of sun and dry we would have made three riflemen by Sunday. Gina with a 209, soooo close! Richard came to your first Appleseed and listened, with no preconceived ideas, took the instruction, and shot wonderfully. No doubt with a bit of practice, the 210 score will be yours. Don, perfect six steps, perfect steady hold factors, and outstanding trigger control. With a consistent resp pause and proper index to the target, the patch will come to you.

I think all of you can make the grade with just a bit of practice, and a good Rifleman's bubble.

Thank you all for enjoying the weekend with us, staying through the weather (you earned Denny's respect!), taking the instruction so well, and sharing the history of this great country. When folks like you show up on my line, the weather is never what I remember about the weekend.

I hope to see you all again. Let's see if Niecie can get some pictures up!

I forgot to mention Landon! A great job Saturday with a full sized rifle this time. We all hope to see you and your Mom again.

Yes, it was wet, but we still had an amazing time! It was wonderful spending the weekend with returning Appleseeders and a new friend to Appleseed! Thank you to everyone that turned out for the shoot and I can't wait to see all of you make Rifleman!!

Man I really wish I could've gone but I was youth deer season, and a very wet one at that. But I will be coming to the one in wabash. It looked like a really good shoot

It was a pleasure to both work with and shoot with all of you this weekend.  My only regret is that I could only make it for one day.  It was great to see some familiar faces and (and a new one!), and I look forward to seeing you all back again to claim your Rifleman patches! 

And David - see you at Wabash!

[El Conquistador]

Despite the rain and cold I had a very good time.  It was nice to see some familiar faces and make some new friends as well.

Thanks to all the instructors for their time and effort.  I really appreciate all the time and effort you all put in.  Thanks again to Yellowhouse and Richard for letting me have some trigger time with your rifles.

I'm hopeful I can talk my better half into coming to the shoot at Atlanta in November.  Or, failing that, maybe at least let me spring for some optics for the Marlin 

[yellowhousejake]

EC, you are always welcome on my line! Absolutely bring the better half, she doesn't have to shoot. I will be SB at Atlanta.

I know the Stevens was not lefty friendly, I have a scoped 10-22 you could borrow if need be

I had a good time too El Conquistador.  Glad you enjoyed shooting my AR.  Hope to see you at another AS soon.  Thanks everyone for a great learning experience.  Will be back for my rifleman patch soon.
