Project Appleseed

We had a fantastic shoot in Central City, Iowa. The weather was a little damp on Saturday but Sunday's rain held off. The humidity was high but so were everyone's spirits.

Congratulations to Adam and Greg for scoring riflemen with scores of 219 and 211 respectively! Several others were knocking at the door. I have no doubt that if you practice the skills we taught you, them you can earn that coveted patch at a future event.

Many thanks go out to Lynn County for generously allowing us to use the wonderful Matsell Bridge Shooting Range. We look forward to holding more events in the coming years.

I also need to thank Chris, Ashlyn, Melody, and Abigail Charles for stepping up in such short notice to drive halfway across the state to help instruct our event. You guys did a fantastic job and it was truly a pleasure to run the shoot with you.
