The shoot at Hollywood Rifle and Pistol Club certainly made this instructor proud. The impressive improvements were all due to the fine efforts of a great group of students and instructors. As the overall shooting improved and the uncomfortable became tolerable, we knew that Riflemen would be revealed--and so they were! The youngest, Danni, showed what grit, determination, and persistence can accomplish as she shot like a girl and showed the fabled AQT who was boss. George, with the high score of the weekend did not just beat the AQT, he crushed it with an astounding 246. That is some good shooting! It might been the first Appleseed for Alan but this man knows well what he is about as he posted solid scores repeatedly on the AQT. Donna, aka "Sid", aka "Buffy", still has it and re-qualified with no problem. Al would not quit and his persistence paid off with success and a respectable Rifleman score. Derek quietly went about applying the teachings of Appleseed with great persistence and was rewarded with a nifty Rifleman patch and several rousing "attaboys!". To everyone who did not quite make The Score, keep after it, as Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods, and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as Rifleman should not be highly rated. Practice perfectly and you will be amazed at the results. Many thanks to Smoak, Archie, Neil, Janet, Tom, and Rick, who made this event a complete success, and for the support and hospitality of Chuck and the fine folks at Hollywood Rifle and Pistol Club. Photos may follow if I can figure out how to do so on an iPad.
The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation.  Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government. - Francis Grund 1837

One of the things I love about shoots in Hollywood is how serious the shooters are.  There's real commitment there. Every shooter on the line knows his or her rifle.  I don't doubt they all will be riflemen.

The club is an oasis in the middle of the suburban sprawl that is south Florida. And how many shoots can you go to and see a goat?

The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

-- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003

It was my first Appleseed and it was a great experience.  The facility was excellent (it rained and we had roof covered).  The instructors were awesome!
