What a beautiful weekend to spend celebrating our Liberty and Patriotism. Thank you to all the shooters who came today and I hope to see you tomorrow!
We had a great weekend! This Appleseed was sold out with 35 shooters and each shooter worked hard and hopefully learned a lot.
We ended up with 6 new Riflemen and 1 that re qualified. Paul, Michael, Rob, Pat, David and Scott worked hard and earned their first Rifleman patch this weekend!! And Aaron re-qualified this weekend as well! Great job to the Riflemen and I hope everyone continues to work hard towards their Riflemen patches too!
Wisconsin has two new Orange Hats as well! Aaron(fox-wi) and Jeff(slothman) both took on the new brightly colored hats, welcome aboard and thank you for stepping up!
Please feel free to add your thoughts in about this weekend! Pictures coming soon.

Why thank you! We did have a great event!
Thanks to everyone that help put on the Lodi event! The weather was beautiful, and a couple great days of instruction and shooting!
Hope everyone had as much fun as I did.

Thank you all for coming out on this Patriots Day weekend to remember the sacrifices that have been made on our behalf, why they were made, and to make use of some of the liberties our fore bearers bought us by their sacrifices! :---
It was great to work with and learn from all of you, Student and Instructor alike! :bow: I look forward to seeing each of you again in the future on the trail!

Thank you all for putting on a great event this weekend! Iron sights proved to be more of a challenge than I thought they would be, but I'm not giving up on them yet ... Yet!
It was great meeting everyone, I hope you all had as good a time as I did. I hope to see all of you at another Appleseed.
I had an excellent time, and am excited, nervous, and proud to be a new IIT. Next up, the IBC! Ack!
What a fantastic weekend. Like most shoots that I've been to the best thing about this weekend was the shooters. Without them this program wouldn't grow and the fact that we gained two more orange hats by the end of the weekend is awesome. Congrats to WI-fox and slothman and welcome aboard. Everyone who came this weekend had an open mind and a teachable attitude. Like myself, most people who came to their first Appleseed this weekend came not knowing what to really expect. But by the end of the weekend were so happy they made that decision to spend their weekend there. Whether or not they scored riflemen all of the shooters this weekend learned something and made a step forward in their journey to becoming a rifleman. A big thanks to everyone that was there and helped me continue that journey by becoming a better instructor.
STILL the best way to spend a weekend.
My hats off to the shooters for sticking it out both days, cause they were hot days on the beach!
Congrats to the Riflemen and the new IITs. :~
Look foreword to seeing you all again.

Great job everyone,hope to see you all out again :--- :--- O0
