Our ten shooters had tons of fun on a bright summer day!
Lots of shade on Bonfield's covered firing line, though...
What a fun, patient group!
Shooters, put your comments here...
Great 2nd day at Bonfield, and we have a new Rifleman!
Congratulations TJ, your 211 was well-earned! ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^
Don't you hate when you figure something out (like, how to post pictures from Flickr but then can't figure it out a second time?) (Not that that's ever happened to me before...)
:pics:
Well, thanks to Mutti's patient help (remember Wurstmacher mentioned her as the Appleseed State Coordinator for Southern Illinois) we now have
PHOTOS
for you.

FYI, only one of these shooters has a mag-fed semi... that would be Dan.

See?
An instructor with good eyesight saw Clay, TJ, and Don cut the center out.
Folks, that's NPOA.

What's more fun that a weekend on the firing line?
Nothing, that's what..

TJ refined his technique through each AQT, climbing to a 211 and earning his Rifleman's patch. Huzzah!

I haven't had Ovaltien in decades, why am I craving it now? #) #)
It looks like you all had a good shoot up there in Bonfield. Congratulations TJ on making Riflemen.
Steck: Awesome photos and lots of them!

As usual we had a great group of participants with teachable attitudes at Bonfield. Congrats to TJ who shot the score! There were also a couple of sharpshooters who, with a little more practice and persistence, could also make rifleman. Come!back in September and October and try again!
Can't wait to hit the next Appleseed and improve beyond 211. 250 is my goal now.
