Another successful Annappleseed is successfully behind us. Despite a forecast for lousy weather, Saturday saw great weather with a mixture of sun and clouds, temps in the 50's, and 13 shooters on the line. Amongst the shooters was a family 7 that spanned 3 generations.. The time monkey was on us all day, as we got off to a slow start, but did manage to get to shoot an AQT by days end. Several shooter got close, but none passed the 210 mark..   Sunday saw 5 shooters on the line, and a high speed review, then off to the Rifleman's grind. We had one shooter requalify, and several others well on their way that just couldn't top 210, on their journey to Rifleman.
All students were attentive students and showed great interest in the history and the message of Appleseed. I expect to see many as return students...  And best yet, we had one student take an Orange Hat!   BeSwift

Great job to all the students and instructors. It was cold, but y'all hung in there. Way to persist!  ^:)^ Many shooters were on the cusp. I'm confidant they WILL get there on the next one. See you on the line.
