Attended my first Appleseed event this weekend and am very impressed with the top notch instruction I received by Steve, Joe and Guy.
I've been shooting for 40 years and my shot placement improved tremendously throughout the 2 days of instruction on how to properly use the rifle sling and NPOA (Natural Point of Aim), instructional points I've never heard of until now.
It's a great feeling to walk away from a 2-day Appleseed armed with significant knowledge and marksmanship improvement.
Each of the three instructors taught the Colonial history and time-line of events of April 18-19, 1775 which was very inspiring, facts and true stories I was never taught in school.
It's hard to imagine so much instruction and training can be attained in 2 days with a direct application toward preserving and defending the way of life our forefathers prepared for us.
Thank You RWVA for the opportunity to participate and for the inspiration to get off the couch and participate in such a worthy cause.

Roy, Glad you enjoyed yourself. Hope you come back again; we have another shoot in College Station on 25-26 September--hope to see you there.

Roy forgot to mention that he shot Rifleman Sunday! It was a great shoot, even with the low turnout. All of the shooters stuck with it through the heat. I learn more and more every time I work with a new group of shooters. I'm hoping to be back in Oct, but haven't asked permission from the boss yet. ~~:) ~~:)

Roy,
CONGRATULATIONS!! O0 O0 Now you can take an orange hat--they're very stylish, let me tell ya, and the life of an Appleseed instructor is too good to describe in words--your jokes are funnier, women find you more interesting, etc etc etc.
Guy, hope to see you in September!!

You forgot the lavish pay and perks. Heck, I got off the phone with Scout last night and he promised us all a 10% raise if we make our 2010 numbers! **)
For a person with his prior shooting experience level, Roy had one of the most teachable attitudes I have seen. Dang nice rifle, too. :)
Congratulations Roy on persisting! Hope to see you in College Station again.

Hey, wait a minute---he told me Fred himself was going to double our pay....
thanks guys that is a day I'll remember for a long time. I sorta thought it might be like walking in to a half day CHL class and shooting 95%..OH NO..much harder. I'm glad it's hard, I'm glad the patch doesn't come easy, you really feel like you earned something when it's over with. Every muscle sore Monday..I really need to get in shape. Of course I didn't tell my neighbor that yesterday when I took him and his kid a flier and target and talked them in to at least strongly consider joining. I'm gonna do like Steve and sell some of my pretty wood and get a down and dirty .22 LR auto..I'm liking the Bushmaster Carbon15. One day I plan on shooting Rifleman with that steel buttplate .30-.06 ...now THATS respectable in my book how you guys can take that punishment using a Man's Rifle ;)
Hi Roy,
My wife keeps telling me to get in shape; i remind her that round IS a shape !@#) Seriously, glad you enjoyed yourself and are doing the 'seventh stepping' thing with your neighbors--I look forward to seeing you at a future shoot with all your friends, neighbors and family O0
Chuck
Roy,
Glad that you had a good time. We will be having a shoot once a month till next May or so. Thanks for coming.
Steve
