We had a great 2018 Memorial day weekend Appleseed at Manchester (Arnold AFB) Tenn. with a great crew of Appleseed Volunteer instructors and a great group of participants. Even better we had seven new Riflemen out of nine participants, and two shooters both knocking on the door to a Rifleman score. We also gained four new Orange hats and promoted Rustygun to IIT4. Participants came from the local area, Knoxville, Memphis and Mississippi. Up to 80 percent chance of rain was forecasted for both days, but we only had a few minutes of very light rain Saturday and no rain on the rifle range on Sunday. Both days there were heavy rain storms all around the rifle range, but "divine providence" shined down on us.

Thanks to the expert instructors and the watchful eye of our Line Bosses, we did prevail in our efforts. Those that did not patch certainly improved their skills and proficiency. Sign up now for the event held down here in my neck of the woods, MSSA in Lakeland Tennessee. :snipersmi :snipersmi :snipersmi

It doesn't seem like I can post a video so here is a link to one shot on Sunday I call "Group Therapy Appleseed Style":

I know that man. A more stalwart Rifleman I've yet to meet in my whole life. O0

We had a great Appleseed in every way this weekend. No rain, great group of shooters, and a lot of Riflemen. Not to mention the most orange hats given out at one AS I have seen. The shooters who didn't patch were very close. One more event and they will patch. Appleseed is growing in TN and that is a good thing. Looking forward to the next one and working with the new orange hats. Even got a little work out of the Shoot Boss lol
