Cowtown, AZ - AAR - 04 Sep 2016

The first weekend of September was a surprisingly pleasant day in Arizona that found 4 fine Americans off their couches, putting on the sunscreen, and on the firing line learning to be better marksmen and about their heritage.  This two-day event kicked off Central Arizona's Fall Project Appleseed season in high fashion with noticeable marksmanship improvements by all.  This was an age-diverse lineup with shooters ranging from 9 years old up to 42, and everyone did all the transitions!!!

All rifles were amazingly well sighted in and all shooters started off with good groups.  This made the sighter  squares go pretty quickly, achieving 8 MOA groups by the third string of fire.  By the end of Sunday, we actually had all adult shooters making Rifleman.  Hip Hip Huzzah!!!

Finally, to all the students who participated this weekend: Thank you for coming out to play in the sun with us.  You're a fine group of Americans who show the same kind of spirit demonstrated by our forefathers.  Continue working on your Marksmanship skills.  I look forward to seeing you again down the trail.

This was an inaugural event at Arizona Appleseed's newest range, and although turnout was light, those that were there were an impressive and dedicated bunch - the kind of folks that make volunteering for this program worthwhile.   

Cowtown specializes in being a serious field Rifleman's range, it's an especially great fit for us, and I'm really looking forward to growing Appleseed here.
