Hoosier Hills Rifle and Pistol hosted another great shoot at their Gnawbone range this weekend!
We had 27 shooters on the line Saturday morning as the sun rose into a humid Indiana sky. The firehose got turned on early and ran all day wrapping things up with an AQT and a Redcoat for dessert.
Sunday dawned another fine day albeit a 'little' warmer but no rain all weekend.
We did have one attendee shoot a Rifleman's score of 218 early Sunday afternoon and Brian picked up the patch real quick.
Sunday also gave us a chance to 'hat' a new IIT, welcome Beautiful Dust to the Indiana cadre!
Pics to follow in a few days as soon as I can get them posted.

Another fun shoot in Nashville. We had families, singles, kids and some Dangerous Old Men and Women in attendance. Now that I stop to think about it we had a lot of families on the line. A mother and 3 children, four sets of fathers and sons (with a daughter thrown in for good measure), an engaged couple.... And that's just what I can recall off the top of my head. Awesome! I love seeing families on the line.
Congrats to our new Rifleman Brian. And thank you to all who made the effort to show up, listen, learn and apply those marksmanship lessons to their shooting. Now, it's time to apply the history and heritage lessons to our lives. ~~:)
See you next time (bring a friend, or a spouse, cousin, coworker, neighbor....)

I had a great time at the 'Seed! I learned a lot, and was refreshed on some fundamentals that I haven't thought about in quite a while... the "good child, bad child" method to remember which sight to adjust (and how) clicked with me and will save me the price of admission in pistol ammo very quickly!
What was the name of the book that was recommended? I can't recall.
mammynun,
It was good to have you on the line. The book that acts as Project Appleseed's "textbook" is Paul Revere's Ride by David Hackett Fischer. Ed, the Shoot Boss for this shoot, is very well read and can give plenty of other recommendations. I'm sure there is a thread somewhere on this forum covering that. There is a "History" subforum but that's under "Instructor Info" so I'm not sure if that will be accessible to everybody.
C ya,
brian
Thanks! It's downloading to my Kindle!
