A big THANK YOU to Slippery Rock Sportsmans Club for hosting another wonderful Appleseed weekend.
Ten great Americans came out to learn more about our Heritage and marksmanship.
Thank you to bcurfman, Tx T, RayBiker73 and FullmetalRifleman for providing excellent instruction. Congratulations to new Riflemen Olivia, Dylan, Mark and Lance! HUZZAH to Lance, Joe, Mark and Ron for clearing the Red Coat target!
What a great weekend and a great bunch of shooters! It's a privilege to work with dedicated instructors and determined students.
The day began with some instruction...
Moving on to some work in prone...
Teaching a couple of other positions...
A couple of Redcoats were cleared early on...
And a Rifleman qualified on the last AQT Saturday...
Sunday opened with some fairly nice weather (after a reported tornado touch-down in the area after the end-of-day on Saturday). Started with carding the sights and ball-and-dummy drills...
Continuing the morning with AQTs...
Resulted in another Rifleman...
By the end of the day, another Redcoat had been cleared...
Recognizing a youth participant who stuck it out the entire weekend (and saw quite a bit of progress as a reward for the investment)...
I would like to thank Chuck for being such a great shoot boss (again) and all of the other instructors involved in this event for giving their time (and equipment) and sharing their knowledge. My two daughters and I had a great time, we learned a lot and we simply enjoyed being in the presence of so many other like minded folks in such a supportive and encouraging environment. We have attended a few other events, and we learn something new and improve our skills and increase our knowledge every time. By the way, I thought that Texas T did an especially good job with the Three Strikes and the dangerous old men stories. Huzzah!
Thank you for the kind words. It really is our pleasure.
Please keep spreading the Appleseed message and get off the couch and get out into your community and get involved.
