VietVet made Shoot Boss! Yay! http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=21695.0
Welly welly welly well... looky here... so... we thought hosting an event a month might hurt numbers. We were even warned, and we worried. No such happenstance. Either way, we've got a killer Instructor Crew thanks to getting together and bumping heads every few weeks. And then, we got 27 shooters on Saturday. Many fewer on Sunday, but nevertheless, to get numbers like that when it's 25 degrees outside and the March Massacre football play-offs are on - not bad. Our shooter numbers are higher than the temperature. There's another something for corporate to keep tabs on.
Rich, you got that group shot?
Let me see... Mary, FastFrank's mom shot a 210

Nice work people. Don got the patch as well and will take the Orange in April, but I don't have a photo cuz my camera was dead on Saturday. Rich is sending it to me and then I'll post it.
And dun duh duh daaaah! - Sunnyam made Rifleman! NYC's fifth. She heard about us in the NYTimes!!!
(http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/crateslinger/DSC03825-1.jpg)
I wonder how many individual towns have more Rifleman than NYC. Something else to monitor, but either way, we won't be in second place for long.
No golf course, Calverton. DUCK!!!

Dakota's old hat. The .30 caliber holes are mostly mine. I mostly chewed up the W as you can see.

Nice job guys!
Nice event folks! sorry I missed it.
Shoot Boss, World class photographer and captions editor. Great job kDan. Another successful shoot. What a wonderful surprise having that many walk-ons. Every time me and CharlieHotel turned around, we realized we needed more target backers. Down right cold in the mornings, and sunburned in the afternoons, another typical Calverton weekend. Looking forward to April!
Once again the Shooters at Calverton showed how "Hardcore" they are.
We were very pleasantly surprised at all the "Walk Ons" we had.
I was doing admin and every time i looked up the line to sign in was getting longer.
NICE!!
The mornings were cold but sunny. By afternoon it was comfortable.
These Shooters would not quit.
By days end on Sunday they were still asking for more AQT's. If the Range wasn't closing we would have shot more. They are proof Rifleman persist.
Congrats to our 4 new Rifleman. Don, Ashley, George & Mary
It truly was a great turn out and all were talking about April.
Just can't (and don't want to) stop these shooters.
Thanks to all on helping me make Shoot Boss. I Never could have done this without the help of those that attend our Shoots and to the "Calverton Crew".
I really have to send out a special thank you to kDan for all he has done for me and for Calverton. Thanks Dan.
See everyone in April!!!
Photos I took will be forwarded to kdan. I still haven't figured out how to post them full size.
O0 O0 O0 O0
Nice
Looks like everyone had a good time laying out in the sand **) **). :~ :---
As always KDan and crew comes thru again. :bow: :bow:
Congrats to all the new rifleman (gender neutral). :cool2: 8)
Appleseed, where good people come together to save OUR Nation.
Fantastic pictures here folks - and another job well done by the instructors and shooters from kDanistan Long Island.
Rich, that picture of you in the red sweatshirt bears a striking similarity to those of you at Saratoga National Battlefield last March - freezing your butt off.
Thanks to everyone for your continued efforts to help save our nation!
MJA
Rich sent me some more photos... unfortunately I seem to be in most of them... we usually like to vary the patch and prize presenters a bit more, but I guess we were lazy.
