What a great group of shooters. Lots of questions during presentations and great participation. It was very warm but we had enough wind during most of it to cool us down. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate and then drink something were the words for the weekend.

We ended up with 1 rifleman and most shooters knocking on the door. From the first redcoat to the last one on Sunday we saw some very determined shooters.

Great range and we are already planning a shoot there next year.

Don't forget congratulations due to the new Green Hat!  All four instructors did a fantastic job.  I've heard nothing but good comments and the question "are you going to have another one next year?"
I suspect we'll be able to get a few new shooters next year.  Caleb's started reading Paul Revere's Ride.  He asked me if I would buy it for him.  He was pretty excited when I showed him the copy I bought after last year's Ames Appleseed.

Yes it is now official Shannon (aka Rhysling) is a shoot boss and Bruce (aka phantom bang) was promoted to IIT2

Good to hear Caleb is reading the book he really liked the heritage parts.

Passion for Liberty is what drives our instructors and meeting great people along the way helps too. To paraphrase Will Rogers I never met a shooter at an Appleseed I didn't like.
