Happy Patriots Day!

Mostly perfect weather for the celebration and 18 students on the line at the Nicolet Gun Club.  Thank you to our hosts for the use of their beautiful range, again with NO Range fees for Appleseed.  What a great partner!

Thank you to all the shooters who spent their weekend learning marksmanship and heritage, I hope to see you all at an Appleseed in the future.

More to follow from me later, but feel free to post your experience here.
"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value."   T Paine

I totally agree with Colycat.  Great weather, great turnout, great group of attendees!  Two new Riflemen, one with an interesting semi-auto 9mm British Sterling!  Some relevant, pertinent questions were asked by some of the students, notably a lady music teacher. Shifting gears, we responded in a manner she could relate to. IMC translated into music time signatures. Then she got it! Does this qualify as an Adaptive Appleseed?! Lots of first time junior shooters. No lack of concentration, though.

Colycat totally deserves his recent promotion to Master Instructor. Huzzah!
