Couldn't have asked for better weather. Slightly cool on Saturday AM, it warmed up to perfect by noon. Sunday was just ever so slightly warmer. The shooters were dedicated and kept high spirits up throughout the weekend. We had shooters on the line from Age 8 to 57. Our young shooters, a few of who had never picked up a rifle before, were scoring very respectably by the end of the day. One 9 year old scored a 198 in the designated sharpshooter role (off a pack for all stages). He and his grandfather have made it out repeatedly to this venue and we're glad to see them every time.

Gave away 2 patches. I almost forgot what it was like. One young man scored a 228 and verified it with a 218. This was his second AS. Our other newly minted Rifleman qualified ON HIS FIRST APPLESEED EVER after traveling all the way from Texas to catch an event that synced up with his schedule.

As instructors we feed on the enthusiasm of the students, and there was plenty to go around. I thank everyone for the hard work they put in. We'll have new events up soon.

I attended as well and can confirm, the weather was great and all had a good time. I learned things that I didn't know, I didn't know! This was my first Appleseed event. I showed improvement and hope to attend another soon. Thanks to all who showed up!
