Well the weather didn't let us down again. We had a beautiful saturday and a decent sunday am but this afternoon was a toad strangler. Flash flood warnings, flooded roads on the way home, flooded range and parking lot. I still believe everyone had a good time despite the weather.
We have 2 new Riflemen Jared 224 I believe on saturday and Larry with a 231 on sunday with the pouring rain. Riflemen persist right! We also had several that were knocking on the door rather hard.
Lots of kids who were safe and showed progress, some dangerous old men who showed progress too. 3 sets of brothers, 1 set of sisters, one father and son, 3 husbands and wifes and lots of friends after the weekend. It always amazes me how much people who come to an Appleseed seem to hit it off just like old friends.
We also had a very good amature photographer on the line who shot his camera about as much as he shot his rifle. So we should have some very good pics coming.
Thanks for everyone that made it off the couch this weekend.
What a shoot! This was my first Appleseed, and not my last. If you are thinking of learning a rifle, or YOUR rifle, yourself, and YOUR Heritage, this is the place to start. Instructors very helpful, fun and engaging. My two biggest regrets were that this was only two days for both the firing line and the history, and that I didn't make Rifleman. What Mudcat put in, is all correct. To this U.S. Solder there; God Bless.
Thanks to Mudcat, Surplus, XD, Bull and Riflegirl. Hey Bull, that offer still stands on that rifle!
See you all next time.
