Project Appleseed

We had a great time in Dubuque with twelve shooters on Saturday and ten on Sunday. The weather was nearly perfect with a few sprinkles on Sunday but nothing even close to being bothersome. I was especially encouraged by the improvement everyone was making. Kudos to Brian E and Sebastian F for earning their rifleman patches. Bryan H was knocking at the door with a 203 & 205. After our KD presentation we even got to shoot a small steel target at 100 yards.

Many thanks to James for helping to instruct and call the line. Many thanks to the Izaak Walton club for allowing us to use their range for the weekend. And many thanks to all the participants who listened attentively, worked hard, showed great persistence, and helped pick up the  range when we were finished.

I"ll add some pictures in a separate post.
