Better late than never.
This was the most unusual shoot ever. Every preregistered shooter failed to show up. One group left word with the range. Fortunately, the SBIT, Tinkerer, brought someone, so we had one walk on. What makes this interesting, is the walk on was a firearms instructor, so we taught him the Appleseed ways, and he played the part of the Bad Student and taught us ways to present the material better. Yep, definitely one for the books.
That's the Appleseed way. When it rains lemons, we make lemonade!
Your walk-on had an inspiration there. In any leadership lab, negative lessons are the best learned. Communications is always a bear.
Did our walk-on qualify? Did he inquire about an orange hat?
While we always hope for a line full of new and returning shooters, it doesn't always happen. It sounds like you guys still made a success of it.
See you next month!
