Another great shoot in the books for SW Missouri. A blustery 23* and heavy frost started Saturday to find 17 students wrapped in layers and ready to get the day started. After the safety briefing and instruction on safe rifles the temps had barely reached freezing. However, everyone began with the Red Coats and proved to be average in ability. Lunch time added 2 additional shooters who caught up quickly. By Saturday evening we had our first New rifleman (Jim).
Sunday started much warmer but extremely windy, Added 2 more students, but lost one from the previous day (took an Orange hat and began the journey) Quickly brought the new students up to speed and into/onto the AQTs. Starting just after lunch and the 3rd strike, riflemen were a plenty. At the close of the day we added 4 more riflemen and a couple of re-qualified ones. 2 stepped up for orange hats and several shooters knocking on the door with scores between 185 and 208. Overall, a great weekend spent with patriots and shooters (beginning and veteran).
Leave your comments and pictures here.
I'll make sure and pass along to Sheila that you made honorable mention of her 208 score!
As soon as I get them all rounded up I'll post some of the photographs that I took this past weekend.

It was a great weekend. Thank you to all our instructors for sharing their expertise so well this weekend. Can't wait to see the pictures!
Wow, another great weekend in MO. The mornings were cold, but by afternoon things warmed up decently. Congrats to our 5 new rifleman and our two requals. Also a big HUZZA to Jim and Carlos for stepping up and taking an Orange hat.
To all of our shooters this weekend, again, thank you for coming out and having good teachable attitudes and having an ear to listen to history. Now you have the fundamentals, so keep practicing everything you learned and it will come together and hopefully at your next Appleseed you will be able to be one of those men (women) that Percy talked of, those who know what they are about. Bring a friend next time and lets try to win the hearts and minds of the MO citizens to embrace the foundations and principles of Liberty.
I will post pics when I can, worst case I will post a link to FB when I get it all done. So keep checking back......
Carlos! ^:)^ congrats to all the new Rifleman and those who were learning all "the good stuff"
Hope to see some of you at the IBC in January and your smiling faces once photos are up.
