Instructors and Students- please feel free to relate your experiences and thoughts regarding the Project Appleseed Event that was held in Soldotna, AK on May 17-18 2014.

I will be adding my own thoughts to this post soon, but would love to hear from all the attendees, too!

It cooled off the second day and everyone complained about that too! Alaskans are never happy.
And speaking of scorchers, I'd say "we didn't start the fire" is the theme song of this weekend ;).

Hard, challenging, and rewarding shoot.
"What! what! men, dodging this way for single bullets! What will you do when they open fire along the whole line? I am ashamed of you. They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist-"

Splendid to see AS working in AK!
I left a gas cap in a Soldotna gas station in 1994...I might have to go back for it, and bring my red hat just in case....
