We had a great weekend in Clinton with two shooters consistently scoring rifleman scores on Sunday! We cleared a few Red Coat targets on both Saturday and Sunday. We also had some fun Sunday afternoon shooting an M1 Garand that one of the participants brought.

Congratulations to Tom and Mike for earning their rifleman patches! Kudos to everyone else for showing determination and for demonstrating significant improvement in your marksmanship skills throughout the weekend. A big shout out to Andrew for showing the biggest improvement. He's knocking at the door to earning his rifleman patch if he'll stick with it.

Thanks to the Izaak Walton club in Clinton for sharing their range with us and a special thanks to Shannon for driving have way across the state to help instruct.

Everyone had great attitudes and it was a pleasure to be one of their instructors. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again on their journey to becoming riflemen and/or Appleseed volunteers. I'll try to post a few pictures of our event in the next day or two.

I'll post a few pictures tomorrow or the next day.
