Ramblin' Wreck

September 11, 2020, 12:01:39 PM
This was the first trip back to the Manchester range for the old Wreck in a few years. This is such a great place for Appleseed. State coordinator TnColonel, shoot boss at the first event I ever attended, continues to manage the range relationship for us and still manages to get a good turnout from the area even in the era of Covid-19.

It was a really good shoot on a great Labor Day Weekend! Giving thanks for the cool front which was a welcome relief compared to past years on the same holiday weekend when the heat index would routinely be over 100.  We had ten shooters who were hungry to learn and we set right to work with the basics on Saturday. All progressed well and improved both days, some coming within a few points of rifleman scores. Congrats to Steve Z, Eagle Keeper, for shooting FIVE requal scores the lowest of which was a 235. HUZZAH Eagle Keeper. You're going to look good in that orange hat.


Believe it or not, there are 3 holes in that 100 yard silhouette. Eagle Keeper's lowest score of the day was 235.  :bow:

This was a great event.  Thanks for those responsible for the event as well as the students that came out.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1775

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."  George Washington 1790

"[T]o preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…"
- Richard Henry Lee, Declaration Signer

Practice every time you get a chance. - Bill Monroe

The phase that epitomized this class was "teachable attitude". As an instructor, after safety, that is the key to an enjoyable day. They all worked hard, prided close attention, and had fun!
I hope my next group is like this one was.

All shooters had a super teachable attitude and would immediately put into practice new and reminded teaching points.  We readily welcome all of you back to the next event.

Congratulations to Steve (Eagle Keeper) on his 245 Saturday score!  Steve,  Thanks for stepping up by accepting that orange hat!  Congratulations!!
