Hi All. Just wanted to say that it was a pleasure to participate in my first appleseed event. I learned alot about marksmansip and my own abilities. Thanks to Richard and Steve for your time and insight. I look forward to trying again in the near future.

Congratulations Mike on achieving the Rifleman score  Thanx for voluntering to help as an IIT 
Many thanx to Steve(ChukarHunter ) who did a great job as IIT .

Steve has personal experiance with the origin and meaning of the term 5th column ,as his father told him 1st hand of how it happened in Spain. I would sure like to see the story written , so I all can use it ,as related by ChukarHunter.

I sure appreciate the wonderful dinner and breakfast provided by David (Garand56) and his lovely wife . It was great to see you David and nice to meet Mrs G56. Thank you so much !
Your game room will be in my thoughts for quite some time (probably forever) really spectacular .
The goodies provided by MrsG56 -were sure enjoyed during an extended prep period .

Duane showed up sunday with a trap line rifle (tube fed) and after shooting the redcoat , Steve and I called him a ringer ! Nice groups
Mike found a speed loader for Duane and he shot in the 170s ,as I recall  - Duane joined rwva and has a roc card .

Andrew  finsished with nice groups and scores in the 150s --he will be back as he bought the roc card too.

Jesse our youngest shooter achieved scores within the marksman category .
I will add more , when i retrieve my notes .
