As usual, it was another great weekend with great people. I say this almost everytime I post, but I am amazed again and again at the quality of people Appleseed brings out. Feel free to start posting pictures and I'll add to the AAR.
Congratulations again to our newest Rifleman Micah! I see an orange hat in his near future.
:) :) ^:)^ ^:)^ Thanks to ALL the shooters who came out to Corona in such miserable weather conditions ;D ;D (Winter in So. Cal., I think the high was in the high eighties on Sunday). It is you folks who come to Appleseeds that make it such a hit. I came away tired and sleep deprived, but also very satisfied that I could pass on some of the 'stuff' that others had taken time to present to little old me.
I hope I don't leave anyone out. Thanks again to;
MICAH

Nice pix, Steve......and show very well the totally harsh conditions all our poor weather exposed shooters had to contend with..... ^:)^ **) **) ^:)^
Yeah, the folks back East must really be hating us right about now.....altho' I hear we might actually get some moisture tonight & tomorrow....
Ohhhhh, NNnnoooooO!! :)) ..:..
This was indeed a truly fun shoot, the weather was great (esp for December!!), the shooters listened, applied, persisted, and improved, and we had enough instructors to go around, so -no one- felt left out, or as though they weren't getting enough personal attention.....
We should do this again real soon.....
And we are!! Jan 15-16, 2011....same place, same deal, same folks!!
How can it get any better?!?!?
See ya then!!
Merry Christmas!!
