The Good: Good group of Shooters Saturday. It was the biggest group we had in one year at Augusta. We saw improvement in all shooters. It was a tremendous group. Everyone was fun to work with and we had a great time as most of the Appleseeds events. It was not too hot, not too cold. For August in Augusta, the temperature was great.
The Bad: We had 3 huge rains storms that lasted 20-40 minutes. We had to stop the shoot at that time and do instruction or History. We made the rain works for us. In fact, it was well timed breaks from the line for the shooters.
Great Shoot!
Thank you
Good: shooting line is covered
Bad: the whole range isn't covered - just joking
rain was so hard that it was hard to hear the instruction and History.
Thank you - all htose students who participated

The shooters had great attitudes, especially considering some were lying in an inch of water! I've never seen a shooting mat float away before but I came close ;D
Congrats to Courtney on her rifleman score and to Nathan on his re-qualify!
The torrential downpour Saturday would have given pause to many people, but we never heard a word of complaint from our gallant students. As a matter of fact, everyone was literally drenched and the targets had become so wet they were difficult to retrieve. The cardboard backers had to be replaced because they were too soft to hold staples or push pins, and still our brave students persisted. Congratulations to them and to Kestak for improvising and adapting to very trying conditions. I hope you all continue to dry fire on a regular basis, and that we see you all again at an Appleseed event very soon. Huzza!
I have a photo to share. Sorry it is a little blurry.

A couple pictures. It takes more than a little rain to stop an Appleseed. :)
