First, I would like to thank the Blue and Gray Rifle and Pistol Club for allowing us the use of their range. Secondly, thanks to all of the patriots who got up off the sofa to attend an Appleseed to learn about what those brave early Americans did for their posterity.  They also had an opportunity to receive some of the finest marksmanship instruction going around today. Thanks to Bill, Don, and Ms. Sarah for working your tails off.

There were many young shooters in attendance. ;D They all did such a fine job over the weekend.  O0 I am glad they were able to hear some history about the founding of our nation.  ^:)^

After it was all said and done we had four Rifleman make the score. I can't tell you how proud I am of each and every one of you. Ya'll all worked hard and the targets don't lie. Great improvement guys.  :bow:

Keep checking the Website. Future shoots will be posted shortly.

Check out the pictures below and feel free to comment.

It was a great weekend!

I'm not sure who has it but can we get the pix of Garrett's proper use of shade & a shoot mat posted here?  :)

Thanks to everyone who came out & the crew that made it happen.

Indeed it was a great weekend. Thanks to all the shooters for their interest in marksmanship and  history. It was especially gratifying to see such an unusual interest in history. Everyone improved their shooting skills, and four Riflemen was a terrific result. The enthusiasm shown by everyone was truly appreciated by the instructors.

And the invasion of the fireants was offset by the cute little deer who visited with us for awhile.

WOW! Some terrific Rifleman scores. Get these folks some orange hats.


For anyone who wants to shoot again soon we have another Appleseed event about 40 miles NE of Guntersville on October 20-21. Look for Rising Fawn, GA on the schedule. Hope to see you there.

I had a great time and really appreciate the instructors and admin staff who ran the event.  I've been spreading the word about the event coming up in Shelby County. 

One question, I'm curious - I wasnt there on Sunday. What kind of rifle was the lady shooting who shot the excellent 240 on her AQT?

Thanks,
Roarke

Roarke,

Glad to hear you enjoyed the shoot! Shelby County has a great facility. I am sure you will enjoy it. To answer your question, she was shooting a Ruger 10/22 with a scope and a few extras under the hood. That rifle belongs to Bill. He will be at the Shelby shoot.

See you soon!

Duhon
