Title: China Spring (Waco), TX Feb 20-21
Post by: NJrefugee on February 22, 2016, 01:08:52 AM
We had a small and excellent group of shooters, who continuously produced small and excellent groups of holes on paper.  :bow: It was a beautiful thing to behold. 

BillJac was kind enough to post the following:

We had a blast this weekend in Waco (I don't know where that came from... China Springs) with Kevin and Dan.  I've been to a few Appleseeds before and the dynamic working with only four participants was completely different.  I think we did about 903 AQT's.  While I had equipment trouble, it was a learning experience as usual.

We did a speed drill on the Redcoat target and my buddy, Josh Allen cleaned it in under a minute.  Maybe next time for me.

Thanks Dan and Kevin for working this for such a small group.

Because this was a small and experienced group, we were able to shoot at least a dozen AQTs.  Each shooter went through about a brick of ammo, much to everyone's delight!  3 of the 4 shooters put up Rifleman scores.  The forth shooter demonstrated a dogged determination to earn his patch, and with the encouragement and advice of his fellow shooters, he scored a 209 near the end of the day.  He is committed to returning soon to finish the job.  A Rifleman Persists!!!

Gunner01 and I were thoroughly impressed with the marksmanship, knowledge and attitudes of this weekend's participants, and are thrilled to welcome 3 new Orange Hats.

Special thanks to Gunner01 for setting up an M1 challenge at the end of the weekend --  It was the icing on the cake!
