Saturday Sept. 5, 2015 - Finished the first day just as an intense rain storm came over the range. Fifteen shooters and nine instructors. All the shooters have great attitudes and several are showing serious Rifleman skills.

Absolutely great event put on by professionals who take their role and our history very serious!
Thanks again for a great weekend! Without the teamwork of your crew I could never have qualified Rifleman and Long Distance back to back!

Two events back-to-back... and qualified Rifleman!?! HUZZAH!!!
You left wearing an Orange Hat, right? ~~:)
I was smiling the entire time Rusty, TNColonel mentioned it, I'm sure he will give it to me at the next event!
I was talking about the event to all my coworkers about it, I mustve gave out 20 flyers.
Good on ya.
Don't wait and try to become the perfect shooter. Start teaching... and your shooting will improve like crazy.
We have an Instructor Boot Camp (a gentleman's course) coming up in Pelham, TN in February. A great opportunity to master teaching your craft.

Well than I will plan on being there!
Rusty, Doc_SGM qualified as a rifleman on his first AQT with a solid 231 using a borrowed rifle!
He knows what he is about!
Doesn't the AS and the KD count as two events? Why wait for the Orange Hat?

KD too? Huzzah!! The IBC isn't until February. You can start as an Orange Hat well before then :)
Congratulations to our two rifleman and to all those shooters who came away from this event well-improved - And by that, I mean all of you :)
The other instructors and I were awed by your fantastic attitudes and look forward to working with you again in the future. Help us now by spreading the word!
What a fantastic event! The weather was great (except for the downpour late Saturday afternoon), the shooters showed up ready to learn and intently listened, the instructor cadre was on the same page, and there was a lot of encouragement between shooters.
Congratulations to our newly-minted Riflemen, Doc_SGM and Alex (Doc_SGM with a borrowed rifle and Alex using an AR-15)! We had many knocking on the door!
If Doc_SGM wants an Orange Hat, I can get it to him in Hendersonville!
I am anticipating a large influx of shooters and full shooting lines in the upcoming year!
Liberty!

Fun listen - Good times! Thank you, Adam. Come again and we'll make a Rifleman of you - So long as you can keep your shots on your own target :) Maybe you'll get some strange (duct tape) then, too - And if that's not an inside joke, then I don't know one.
It is really great the the Arnold Air base is still doing Appleseeds and even greater that TN Colonel is now a DSB. He was the boot on the ground when I SB' ed my first shoot in 08 at this location. A shooter and blue hat.
Congratulations to the TN cadre for making these events a success. ^:)^
