Getting ready to kick off 2016 in Oregon with a bang at Douglas Ridge Rifle Club. ^:)^
Looking forward to a great weekend and seeing lots of shooters!
Whit
Wow! What a weekend ^:)^
Predicted 100% Thunderstorms - I saw an awful lot of sunshine and clear skies. Predicted 10% riflemen - I saw 10 new and 2 repeats 44% :bow:
A full line, center fire boom, great mix of new and experienced instructors, 4 young patriots (including a new riflewoman). I can't say enough good things about this weekend. Thank you all for coming. I hope to see you back for our KD event in May. We will be back on the Silhouette range in Eagle Creek, OR on June 9/10.

Amazing weekend with the largest number of Riflemen patches given out for new shooters that I have experienced. Certainly a result of great instructors (should get a raise😉) and shooters who learned the process and applied it.
Ben, our shoot boss, did one of the best benedictions I've ever heard--very inspiring!
My hope is that we get at least a couple of Orange Hats from the very solid group of new Riflemen.
All and all the best Appleseed event I've been privileged to be a part of as now an IIT4😀
Nice to see FL not the onliest place that has to cover targets with trash bags! ^:)^
Outstanding weekend!!! Lots of new Appleseeders on the line, not to mention a full line. Weather worked with us some what but we can live with a little rain. 10 new Rifleman and 2 repeats, man we must have done something right ^:)^ All history was outstanding and the shooters really connected with what we had to tell them. I'm so excited that our numbers are finally going back up after 2 years ;D we had 26 this weekend and we have 21 registered for Bickleton in April!!! Thanks everyone who came out. Enjoy the pics.
