This is just a brief introductory report. It's getting late tonight. Beautiful day, 17 shooters. Two new Riflemen on the only AQT Saturday. One was a first time Appleseeder. Can't wait until tomorrow.  ^:)^

Thanka for a good two days, Don. Also, thanks for the advice on getting a 10/22 and the accesories to get. Looking forward to next time.

Well tomorrow has come and gone. And it was a great day too. Everyone returned for the second day. Furthermore, most of the shooters had also attended the previous Appleseed at this location. Three more Riflemen were made this day. And another shooter had a 204 and would have gone over the top except for a malfunction. Others were also very close. And we got a new Orange Hat, a lady who is a great shooter and will make a great instructor ^:)^

I am especially proud of one older shooter whose high score at the event last year was 97. This time, even with a bad back which made transitions difficult, became a Rifleman. He had been practicing.  ^:)^

A college student, a young lady and first time Appleseeder, shot the highest score of the day; a 226, followed up with a 223.  ^:)^

The club was most cooperative and is looking forward to the next event.

And you're certainly welcome olefido. We'll see you there next time.

My first Appleseed as a blue-hat and (thankfully) I do not think I messed things up too bad!
I am happy that we have 5 more Riflemen. Congrats to you  ;D

Great photos, Mutti!

Everyone learned a *lot* at Marion, what a great group.

Big thanks to the whole crew, will see you out on the trail with a new (and, yes, JP, too-bright) orange hat.

Thank you everyone for a great weekend.  Although I could only attend on Sunday, this was one of the more enjoyable Appleseeds I have attended!  As always, I met a lot of great people and hope our paths cross again one day.
