Perfect weather for an Appleseed and the surrounding hills were very green for this St. Patrick's Day. We were joined by 10 great Americans this weekend including two youths that helped us commemorate Luther Blanchard by receiving their patches. By the end of the weekend we had 3 new Rilflemen, one of them a youth! Congratulations goes out to Daniel with a score of 221, Brandon with a 222, and Bryan with a 217! Also a big "Welcome Aboard!" to Chris as he donned the Orange Hat of destiny and became our newest IIT! Post your comments and pics here.
Instructor Erich here:
I've got photos, will post em up later when I get home.
Such outstanding attitudes this weekend from everyone. I love it when Line Boss calls prep and I see a participant RUN to his mat, mags in hand, to get set up for the stage. You guys did great!
John (Hudgens) here.
Just wanted to echo the sentiment about a great weekend.
The weather was perfect, fellow participants were awesome, and all of the instructors were fantastic. Much thanks to everyone for an overall excellent experience- I can't wait to meet up with y'all at the next event.
Bryan Hocking here. Just wanted to thank all the instructors again! I learned a lot out there. Had many issues with my rifle and they were very helpful in helping me work through it. This was my first Appleseed event. The safety and detailed instruction was top notch. Looking forward to the next event in April!
Thanks again!
Great weekend! Congratulations to Daniel, Bryan and Brandon (with iron sights).
Thanks to Bob, Erich and Zo for all the advise...and letting me call the line :)

Oh, forgot Andy...our "Red Coat" for the weekend. He had never touched a rifle before Saturday. By The end he was doing very well.

Master Instructor and State Coordinator Bob giving post-IMC instruction. There is a little one hiding in the back but since I don't know his waver status I'm obligated to protect the identity of the innocent @)
We've got photos of the line from Sunday, and photos of our newest Riflemen!
