What a great weekend we all had in St Augustine! 16 wonderful students came out to learn our shared history, heritage and the great American martial art of marksmanship. I cannot remember a better group of students in recent memory, all of you were absolutely fantastic to say the least. The weekend revealed four new riflemen: Mark, Robert, Mathew and Eric. Well done to you gentlemen, I was very proud to hand over to you that little badge of persistence we call the rifleman patch. We also minted a new orange hat; Mark - welcome to the Florida cadre sir, I know you will make a very fine addition to our state's crew! Mark has attended several Appleseeds and shot score convincingly all weekend long with a high score of 232. Our three youth shooters Phillip, Leoncio and Wakeland did very well all weekend and I look forward to seeing them again in the future. Special thanks to all the students, Saltwaters shooting club and especially the instructors, Randy, Ed and Pete. you are all the very best and I felt fortunate indeed to spend the weekend in the company of great Americans. As a testament to the quality of this last weekend I received several emails Sunday night from a few of the students:
Thanks for putting on a great instructional session Chris.
My son and I had a great time and really learned a lot. Sorry we had to leave early yesterday! My son was asking me tons of questions on the drive back home before I had to fly out.
Looking forward to practicing the skills you taught and coming back for another one in a couple months!
Best Regards,
Jamie

I just wanted to pass my compliments on to Chris, Ed, Randy, and Pete for the WORLD CLASS job that they did this weekend. I am sure they hear it all the time, but it was a great experience for my entire family and they did a phenomenal job. Thanks for what you guys do!
Cheers,
