A big thank you goes Dan, Boris and other volunteer, IIT's who helped Bob run this event.  We sure had good instruction and logistical help with the content of this course and many courses of fire.  Also, 40% women on the firing line was an unexpected surprise for we grizzled & dangerous (?) old men.
The weather for this event was ideal [except for the last hour, with sprinkles and winds kicking up.]
   
But TBK, the mechanical issues with my 22-Rifle were enough of a hurdle for that last 2 or 3 hours to really test my patience and persistence with only about 90% of my rounds getting successfully from magazine to chamber to target-sheets.  And maybe I have to get better at simply ignoring problems and getting on [accurately] with hitting those black tombstones.  Sorry, but I took no photos.
Four days after the AS-Event, I exercised my 5.56 carbine with zero mechanical issues in 100-rnds.   So maybe that is the preferred device for me.
As I told Bob [our master instructor & patriot]  on Sunday, I will have to rely on persistence to get me back for yet another Appleseed weekend in 2016.
