The first ever AS shoot was held in rural Mitchell, NE on June 20-21. We had 14 shooters which was only 6 short of capacity for this venue. Troy and Jennifer Svoboda arranged to have shotgun capability, archery, and a close distance rifle, pistol range on their land. The range is a work in progress but is already very nice and an awning was provided to keep everyone out of the sun. The instructors were treated on both days to delicious food provided by members of their 4H Club and friends and neighbors. Thank you so much!!
We had nice weather and were pleased to have a break in the rains that have blessed the NE panhandle.
The weekend proved that there are shooters out there. We had two men shoot Rifleman scores on Sunday, and a couple of other shooters were close to that goal. We are hopeful that we will be asked back.
Special thanks to my friends and instructors from WY as I would not have enjoyed running this shoot without their help. Berk and Jason, you are awesome!!
Sounds good. Only shoot I've done besides Texas was in Grand Island back in 2012. Man - that was one heck of a range there. And the city of Grand Island actually funds it. Better than the golf course we get taxed for here in Lampasas, TX. And I never played golf.
You ever hear from Necede or Matt these days?
Great Shoot, thank you Jennifer & Troy. It's nice to deal with "can-do" folks. I always enjoy working with PineRidgePuma and rasputin. Especially in "eastern Wyoming" aka western Nebraska. John is doing an excellent job of stirring up interest in Appleseed and he needs some more Instructors out there.
Attached are some photos: nice flag display!
Sorry I missed this one. I'm looking forward to Chadron in September.
