A great shoot to start the Virginia season.
Weather reports early in the week calling for rain turned out to be incorrect.
The weekend was a couple of fine sunny spring days.
We had motivated shooters, almost all were first time Appleseeders, who seemed to enjoy the history that nobody hears anywhere else.
There were four under-18 shooters who did an outstanding job with safety, focus and progress.
The entire group progressed in leaps and bounds.  Redcoat results roughly doubled from Saturday to Sunday.
We only had one rifleman - a new one - by the end, but many of the others were dancing around 210 and should make it next time.
Congratulations Henry on the new patch!

Good job Henry,
Welcome to Rifleman's status. And for the rest of you fine folks, don't forget my advise on dry firing till you can get back out with us again. Bring your buds as well-so they can see ya get that patch.

If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget you were our countrymen.
Sam Adams
