Rain and mud? It is starting to resemble the Appleseed Mudfest (tm) Shoot like famous College Station Appleseeds of the past. I don't like my camera to get wet, so fewer pics at this shoot.

We faced some challenges at this shoot, the most prominent one being rifles without sling swivels! Zip ties and USGI slings with MFI HK style clips were the most effective solution we had.

Fortunately we had no lightening during the shoot, so shooting occurred despite the almost constant rain on Saturday.

I'll get the Sunday pictures posted soon.
ETA - There won't be anymore pics - the drive they were stored on took a hit. Every RWVA picture I have taken since 2007 is now corrupted. :wb: :'(
