It is great to finally get an Appleseed up in this area! We had good turnout, great instructors, and great Appleseeders. I was impressed by the persistance of the students, especially considering the heat. Lots of teachable attitude at this shoot. While no new Riflemen, all students improved and a couple are knocking at the door.
The 3 strikes, told by Martin and Dragonfly, were very moving, and motivating.
More to come soon....
Appleseeding with 16 great American's :bow: , It doesn't get any better than that O0 .
15 out of the 16 had never been to an Appleseed before and everyone showed up with a willingness to learn and a teachable attitude. Only 6 scheduled for sunday, But we got 8 to come back at least till after lunch. Thanks everyone. Lots of improvements. You have the tools and I hope to see you at your next Appleseed, because I got a feeling with persistence you will all make Rifleman soon.
A great big thanks to Pleasant View Orchard Rifle Range for hosting this event. Thanks Doc :bow: . A great range with camping and a great north woods experience.
Special thanks to Martin and Jo, we couldn't of done it with out you :bow: .

Some of you guys are really impossible. :-X
This event was in my opinion a great success. I never thought we would have over 10 shooters. It just goes to show, that despite your worst fears, things can and do work out.
Believe in the program, the cause is just.
When is the next one in the Orchard?
