Greetings Project Appleseed and the Populous at large...
Miniseed dateline El Paso, Texas - August 13, 2016.
A relatively impromptu Miniseed was conducted at the Fort Bliss Rod and GUN Club today.
After a quick review of the Safety Rules and Safe rifle, Sighter Squares were used to confirm the Zero on a rifle that had rattled itself nearly to pieces at our last Appleseed event(May 28-29, 2016).
An AQT was then posted and Mr. Smith did promptly proved his prowess over the AQT with a score of 219. A repeat AQT was posted and scored a 231.
Our shared History and Heritage were discussed and the value of our unique Liberties were confirmed.
Please join me in congratulating Mr. Smith IIT0, A man whom truly knows what he is about!
With Liberty and Justice for All,
Jerry

Thank you, El Jefe!  Mr. Smith is feeling mighty pleased with himself this evening, and wishes to return to the range tomorrow to see if it was a fluke ;)    Thank you so much for taking time out of your Saturday to get this done.   ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^

Sincerely, Mrs. Smith, whose best score just got beat by Mr. Smith, and I do believe we're going to have to do something about that!   :~

Congratulations, Mr. Smith!   And thank you, Jerry, for putting on that mini-seed!   

Mrs. Smith...as a woman whose husband initially bested her score, let me reassure you that beating him can (and will) be done...and it is SO much fun to have those bragging rights!   ;D   I'll send you some extra AQT targets when I send his instructor manual/clipboard.   ;) >:D

Thanks for the pep talk, Weezer!  And looking forward to the goodies :). Out of curiosity, should I have gotten a clipboard and manual as well? I was made an IIT after the El Paso Memorial Day Appleseed event with a score of 229. Just wondering!  Thanks again  ;D

YES!   You should have!    *smacks head*   Since you'll be competing for top score in your home, I'll assume you and Mr. Smith ought not be sharing an instructor manual, lest he should hide it from you out of frustration when you beat his score.   ;D

Do you also need an Orange Hat, as well?   I have one on order for Mr. Smith and had planned to send it to Jerry; however, I can easily add another hat in the package and send it directly to you if you'd prefer.   Send me a PM and we'll hammer out the details.   :)

Thank you!  And you're absolutely right!  Competition can get brisk around here lol we shoot together, we ride horses together, and we race cars together, so friendly competition is a frequent occurrence  >:D

I don't need an orange hat, though. I got mine at the Memorial Day 'seed. It was Jerry's last one  ;). I'll message you, thanks!

Same here!   You should see what happens when Jeopardy comes on...   **)

I'll get your materials out to you at the end of this month.   In the meantime, spend some romantic evenings dry firing together in the living room.   Nothing screams "I love you" like cuddling up to your rifles by candlelight.   ;) :cool2:
