Record setting day for Long Range Rifles at Perry Competitors break NRA Long Range High Power records.
Did Appleseed;s Jamie Franks attend I wonder or any other instructor? Surely we have someone that attended?

It is notable how Swiss society has long surpassed America as being a nation of riflemen. A tremendous must read for Appleseed instructors
is: TARGET SWITZERLAND (thanks to Massad Ayoob for referring this wonderful book to me) might help set the compass needle for
the goals of this program in a positive way. How ironic that the Swiss regarded America as their sister Republic and that Patrick Henry had such high regard
for the Swiss and how much the Swiss impacted the writing and language of our nation's precious founding documents which are today largely ignored.
This book can teach America much : http://www.amazon.com/Target-Switzerland-Swiss-Armed-Neutrality/dp/1885119534 (http://www.amazon.com/Target-Switzerland-Swiss-Armed-Neutrality/dp/1885119534) and who knows might be a cause for inspiration of what is possible.

I was not at the NRA Long Range High Power matches, however, I was at Perry for CMP week. I was able to meet several Appleseeders. West, Cadence, Micki, B-Swift... just to name a few. I am sure that there were others, but I can't remember all of them because I have slept since then.....
Anyway I did Okay. finished 23 in the M16 EIC match for the non-distinguished shooters GOT ME SOME LEG POINTS!! (28th overall), about the middle of the pack in the Presidents 100, 82nd in the Vintage Sniper Match, Brought home a Silver in the M1 Carbine match, and Silver in the 1903 Springfield bolt match. Found out that my barrel is shot out in the Garand match. Couldn't call a shot to save my life.
I am still tired......
