Bakersfield, CA. March 11-12, 2016 AAR

[Cal 7.62]

Rain was promised for later on Fri. afternoon, but that did not deter our 4 students from the Link family on Fri. morning.  The AM redcoat groups looked very promising for these returning Appleseeders.    Our morning was progressing just fine when right around noon it started raining. We moved the rifles out of the rain and broke for lunch.  After the shooters came back from the range house with their lunches, we started telling the 3 Strikes. The rain steadily increased along with the wind. We hadn't set up the easy up yet and were trying to use the side of our students van as a wind and rain block, but it wasn't working all that well.  We then attempted to put up both ours and the students easy ups at the same time. Even using REAL tent stakes & motorcycle tie downs to secure it to their van, the wind threatened to rip both of them to shreds.  Paul said he'd had enough inclement weather at his last Appleseed in Sunland, where outhouses were blowing across the target line.    Already having heard the 3 strikes before, they said they'd be back tomorrow (Saturday). With no students and my IIT (Moose) who had to leave early, we called it day. BTW, thnx Moose 4 pulling my pork products out of the flames. 
To be continued.....
Feel free to chime in folks.

Thanks for the range report Steve,

That was a great event even with the hurricane conditions on Friday.

I am very pleased with at least two of my boys achieving their Rifleman's Patch. And on my fifth try, I got it too!
Krista(16) being a bit frustrated with a loose scope, was still very close to winning her ticket. Worry not as she will certainly get it next time. We did some front yard practice today and she was shooting sub MOA like it was a normal thing to do.

Front Yard


Everybody is chomping at the bit for a KD shoot but I told them that they had to score 210 or better at 50m before I cough up that much center fire ammo.

I believe all or most of the pics are on Sean's phone and as soon as he sends them to me, I will post them here.

Thanks again for all your help and guidance.
