It was a glorious weekend for liberty! We were treated to Florida's best Spring weather: Clear, sunny, steady breezes and temps up to the low 80s. Eighteen patriots assembled for the Patriots' Day weekend event at Port Malabar Rifle & Pistol Club. Shooters aged 12 to 65 with rifles evenly mixed between centerfire and rimfire. All experience levels were represented. Our youngest shooter Kikyo steadily progressed to shoot a 79 on Sunday. She has a great teachable attitude and was a joy to work with. Three Riflemen requalified. Asher 216, Ray 212, and Dan (Wood2Dust) 235.
Bear Arms shared his Patriots' Day experiences from his trip to Battle Road last week: So much to see; Very emotional; Looking forward to going again. SWOFO completed his journey to earn his Red Hat. We took great joy in blowing the heck out of it with a ten-round volley. HUZZAH Ray! Speaking of volley's, we honored our forefathers with the national thirteen round volley as the names of the patriots who gave their lives for freedom on April 19, 1775 were read.
It was a great event with awesome students and exceptional instructors. It was an honor to share the weekend with you all!
In Liberty,

Good job Dennis and crew! This was my first Appleseed in a couple of years. I enjoyed shooting with my friends and thought the Port Malabar Rifle & Pistol Club venue was very good. The pop up shelters you had for the firing line were much appreciated. It was also nice to have the option to shoot .22 and center fire which I took advantage of.
The poster showing Battle Road was a good visual aid when talking about the events of 4/19/1775, and the booklet showing the same and including the details related to marksmanship and safety was also a nice addition to the standard handouts.
Thanks to BlindDog for the photos.
