What a great weekend for an Appleseed event at Bench Rest Rifle Club!
The weather was just right for shooting, the range was in great shape (as usual), and the shooters were ready to learn.
We jumped right in on Saturday learning rock solid positions, the 6 steps, and NPOA. Chazzle sounded like an old pro giving the three strikes during our breaks. As we counted up the final red coat of the day, one shooter cleared and many came very close - a sign of what's to come on Sunday.
Sunday we quickly reviewed what we learned on Saturday, then took a break to be inspired by some Dangerous Old Men stories. By the time we broke for lunch, we had 4 new Riflemen! Bob shot a 221, Dave scored a 212, Scott shot a 219, and Matthew put up a score of 219. Great shooting guys!
Speaking of inspiration, Raquel stepped up as a volunteer by accepting her Blue Hat. Welcome to AppleCore, and thank you for your commitment!
I would like to thank the instructors who volunteered their time this weekend, this couldn't happen without your help. And particularly Tennessee Beast, who drove all the way from Tennessee to help out.
We really had a great bunch of shooters this weekend. Safe, and engaged, they listened, asked questions, and it showed in their groups. Thank you all.
If you have any comments or pictures you would like to post, pleae do. I will post pictures in a day or so.
I really enjoyed working this event! Raquel (kelevez) and I plan to come back. Congratulations to our Riflemen! For those who didn't quite make it, I know you improved...remember that a Rifleman persists. I want to thank the range staff and instructors for their hospitality and the students for their teachable attitudes.
You couldn't ask for more perfect weather! The crew was great, and we had some very energetic and eager to learn students!
Congratulations kelevez for taking the blue hat!
