Well even though we had a small turnout for this event it was a wonderful event.
2 shooters for Sat and Sunday.
Beautiful October weather...ok..Sunday was a touch on the summery side.
Chris and Rob came out Saturday and put in a full day of learning and shooting and improving. Chris is new to Appleseed, but not to shooting and he really picked up what we were teaching and put it to good use. By the end of the day he posted a 201. Rob is a returning shooter and worked hard to improve his technique. His scores were in the upper 170's I think.
The strikes were wonderfully well done as usual.
We added some fun to our October shoot...some pumpkins and spiders showed up on the sheets that usually have squares on them...and later in the afternoon...green paintballs appeared and stuck to some of the pumpkins and spiders...making a satisfyingly green SPLAAT! on the paper. The plank on the evening Red Coat even sported a green paint ball. The targets were enjoyed by all.
Sunday brought Rob back, but Chris had another obligation and said he'll be back another time. Dean, a returning Rifleman from the Bay Area decided to come out and have some fun with us on Sunday though. A review of Saturday, and the AQT's came out......Rob quickly showed that he was putting the pieces together as his scores climbed up.
A break for lunch and some wonderful stories of the Dangerous Old Men and the Determined Dangerous Dames.
Rob showed that he knew well what he was about...posted a 215 and a 216. Dean reminded us that he too knows what he is about...216 & 215 (please correct me Dean if I misremember those)
