We had a small but attentive turn out for the weekend (11 shooters on Saturday and 7 on Sunday).

The weather was hot and steamy for most of the weekend. The rain fell all around us on Saturday but never fell on the range. We did see a couple of downpours on Sunday morning but we were able to stay under cover and review Saturday's instruction before the rain departed and the AQT grind began.
Everyone showed much improvement as the weekend passed and we ended with two new Riflemen by lunch on Sunday.
First up is Dustin. This was his first Tennessee Appleseed and I think he attended one in Colorado.

Next up is Lee, Instructor Charlie's (TN_Dadx5) brother. He scored 210 so he qualified for a "dunking" for his effort. I think he accepted the Orange hat as well.

BonnieBlue took several photos on Saturday and I look forward to seeing her efforts.

Focus, a Good Trait for the Rifleman (or Riflewoman)
Here's my usual "artsy" shot from the weekend.

All in all, we had a great weekend where everyone learned a lot, had a great time and stayed safe.
I look forward to seeing everyone else's feedback on the weekend.
I was there and can't wait till my next attempt at Rifleman.
