Hello Ohio Appleseed;

We have a shoot this coming weekend at New Philadelphia, Ohio.  We have 11 pre-regs at this point and I expect that we will have a few more by this weekend.  Right now its just me signed up to instruct.  I sure could use some help this weekend.  New Philly is a great range. We have 300 yds available on our range and a 600 yd range available right next door. 

Would really like to have some help this weekend, come join us at the nicest Appleseed range in Ohio.

We could still use some help at New Philly this weekend. If anybody can make it even for only one day, your eyes on the line would be appreciated.

Corvette,

I was hoping to sit on the couch this weekend and watch football.  If you PROMISE to cook some sausage breakfast sandwiches on Sunday morning.....then I'll put down the remote and hang out with you guys.

Thanks,

C'mon!  It is a fantastic opportunity to work and shoot with 2 of the best instructors in the state, Corvette and slim.  Yeah, football's great, but how does that really compare to a Fall weekend of shootin' KD in New Philadelphia, OH, with Steve and  -:) ?  Hope y'all have a great time!

What a weekend! Hearing the kids (old & young)  Huzzah as they saw there groups get smaller was great. Corvette and the leadership did a great job and the weather was fantastic. Thanks for the the orange hat. Looking for the next step.

I'm sorry I'm late to the party. I wanted to say thanks so much to everyone for a great weekend. Thanks to Corvette for running the show, and to Wheeler, Chippendale, Cornfed, and especially Slim. (I feel like I'm forgetting to thank someone in the list and I apologize for that).

I hadn't taken the kids shooting in a while, and we went out a couple days before the Appleseed to just let them get a couple magazines through the rifles and get them reacquainted with running the safeties, bolt releases, etc. Afterward, my daughter told me she didn't feel comfortable around weapons (I have NO idea where that was coming from). So I had an unexpected challenge for the crew as we entered the weekend. I messaged Corvette about it, and he said he'd have it under control.

So, when we arrived, he assigned my daughter to Slim's care. Corvette wasn't kidding when he said he paired her up with the Rifle Whisperer. From reluctant to attend (I told her she had to go through the first day at least), he got her feeling competent - and confident - on the line. And by the end of the weekend, she was outshooting her older brother.

On top of that, Corvette lent me his rifle when my Marlin 60 wouldn't cycle reliably through an entire string of fire.

So...a great weekend, the kids and I had a great time, and everyone saw improvement. Still no riflemen from our family, but we're all motivated and looking forward to coming back in spring.

Thanks again to everyone. Until then, as Slim would say - pewpewpew, 'Merica!

DaveT,

All I can say is it was our pleasure to have such a fine family group on the line.  O0  I look forward to working with all of you again next spring.  Only been a couple of weeks but I miss the "Appleseed Trail" already and being with such fine "pewpewpew Mericans".

Practice what we taught over the winter, I have plenty of Riflemen (and Riflewomen) patches waiting for you all next spring.

DaveT, were you able to find the AAR on New Philly, lots of pictures from the weekend.  If you have not seen them yet, go to the top of the site to AARs and find the New Philly entry.
