Hey Everyone,
It looks like the folks at the CMP made it back east safe and sound and finally got around to posting some pictures... A few of us SoCal AS Instructors made our way out to Phoenix for this year's games. It was a blast and is highly recommended if you can find the time to get to one of these events!

Here's Mr Pete... Who, regardless of his recent move to Florida - really is (and always will be) a CALIFORNIA Instructor!

Here's me, accepting the plaque High Competitor in the "As-Issued M1-Garand Match" with the other shooters catching their leg-points!

Unbeknownst to the competitors before the match, this year's winner would be the recipient of a brand new rifle as a prize donated by Bushmaster!!! (too bad it's on the California BANNED LIST?!?!?!?!?! Doh!!!)
Just goes to show, we can all accomplish anything with put our minds to! Thanks to Appleseed, not just for teaching me how to shoot a rifle - but for teaching me more about myself. I am a better man because of Appleseed. Surely. - GoneJohnny
Side-note on Bubble & Cadence: Trusting my NPOA, in the best position I could muster - got me a 99-7X in rapid prone. My the last 3 shots were sent almost blind with an eye full of sweat... This stuff works!
Congratulations, job well done!!!!!! ..:.. O0 ..:..
Having shot KD with you, I am not the least bit surprised. ;D Outstanding.
Awesomesauce.
Yeah TurboJohnny! Way to go! Awesome! ^:)^
You know, you could send that Bushie up here, and I can "babysit" it for you @)
MrPete prob beat me to it.
Congrats, brother!
This is super! Congratulations!

Would it be best to wait for an official article to be released and then post that link? If not, I hope the CA folks write up what they would like said on the FB pages and the FB admins will spread the word.
Congrats Johnny! Now you have some Leg points!! Woo Hoo!!! On your way to Distinguished!!!!

Wow! Heartfelt congratulations to some of the best people I have the honor to know.
I'd be interested to know what the reaction was of the "old boys," long time participants presumably in these events, to these upstart insurgents taking all their prizes?
Cheers

Congratulations!
And on your observations about NPOA and sweat in the eyes, we are reminded "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." O0
Congratulations Johnny. When you spoke about going I thought you would do well but I didn't want to jinx any chances. For all of us it's good to know there is an Appleseed on top at the events. Keep it up.
