So I figured I'd run a mini out at my Dad's hunting cabin this morning... had a couple friends at work that were interested in Appleseed but weren't sure, figured this would be a good way to get their feet wet while at the same time giving Red ONE MORE chance at an AQT before she shipped to basic. :wall:
Well, my co-workers didn't show, but Red drove up in a hijacked car 2 hrs to shoot so... we headed on out to the cabin. 8 AQTs later she knocked out a 219 ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^ :---
Congratulations Red! You truly persevered and finally got it!
Pictures will, I'm sure, follow. As once she finished jumping around, dancing, and running circles around my truck she then made me take about 10 pics of her holding her target and the Rifleman Badge Mike gave me in Winona. :D
ALLRIGHT!!! O0 O0 Another Mn Badge handed out. Congrats and well done.

Ah! Prepping for Ft. Jackson got the better of me... but I found this on the forum and geeked out remembering how happy I was, so here are the very belated pictures. (Sorry for driving this to the top of the queue) Thank YOU fantastic Appleseed instructors! Your eternal patience helped me to get over my block and I went on to shoot Expert on both my qualifying days at Basic. Woot! ^:)^
Thank you thousand times over :)
