Title: Byers Shoot - September 17/18
Post by: Louisville on September 21, 2011, 02:21:21 PM
I wanted to thank the entire Appleseed team of volunteers and instructors that helped with the Byers shoot Sept 17/18. I had a great time and learned so much even though I have been shooting for nearly 50 years. I know I have a lot of bad habits to unlearn. The instruction and shooting combined with the history really made it a meaningful and touching event. I appreciate your dedication to the organization and the principals it stands for. I plan to get a new rifle and practice over the winter so I can return to a shoot in the spring of 2012 with hopes of getting my Rifleman patch. Thanks Skinner for the loan of your rifle over the two days. I feel bad I didn't get it cleaned before returning it to you. You are all so patient working with us to help us become better riflemen.
I hope after getting a little more experience with the organization I can volunteer myself. I recently retired from being a volunteer officer and EMT with the Louisville Fire Department, so now have more time for other opportunities.

Thanks again for everything,

John

John,

It was great working with you over the weekend!  You don't need to wait until 2012, we have a couple more shoots at Byers this year still!  Hope to see you again soon.

John, thank you so much.  Very happy that you got so much out of the weekend. Keep practicing those skills, going to shoots and when you get your Rifleman patch we'd be glad to have you in our ranks.

If you'd like to help sooner than that, send me a private message and we can discuss possible options.

We are trying to save our great nation and the more people involved, the faster it will happen. We are dedicated to that.

Hope to see you at some future shoots!

Kim
