We had a great 2 days at S7 Tactical in Menifee this past weekend! Thank you, Barry, for again welcoming Appleseed to S7. We really appreciate your hospitality!
The weather was pretty much typical for August in Arkansas. Hot & Humid! We had a wonderful group of students brave the heat and join the ranks of those of us bailing. Improving their marksmanship & hearing some history.
Ken, you are a trooper! Thanks for sharing your M1 Garand with us. I always enjoy your company and am glad for every opportunity to shoot with you!
David, this was your first time at an Appleseed and from your comments, probably won't be your last! Look forward to seeing you back at S7 in November!
Aaron, another first timer. And you did a great job! I know you're on the way to getting that Rifleman score. Look forward to seeing you again!
John, what an inspiration you are to everyone on the line. You are amazing! Hope to see you at the KD in Hot Springs in October.
Bill, you're always a great help. So glad to have you at an event!
Matt, Thank you so much for taking the time to come and bring James. It was fantastic to have you on the line & I hope to see you and James back in November!
James, what a wonderful young man you are! So much fun! The way you stick with it is quite an inspiration to everyone around you. I really enjoyed your enthusiasm and am looking forward to seeing you and your dad again!
Chip, glad you were able to make it to help. Hope to see you again at the next one!
Instructors, thank you so much for all your hard work! I am very happy to have each and every one of you in the program. You all did a great job!
And Thank You, Sticks, for all your help!
Pics to follow!
I was only able to attend on Sunday, but I could tell everyone attending were soaking up the instruction! When we shot the Red Coat targets, I was pleased to see so many cleared it! So, things were off to a good start! As usual the Arkansas team of instructors performed very well. Every time I attend an Appleseed, I feel refreshed by just being in the presence of so many liberty minded people!
I'll do the best I can, to attend the KD in Hot Springs, I absolutely love shooting at distance!
Quinncannon, out.
Had a great time developing my instruction skills and also getting a bit of trigger time with you all!
Lots of improvement could be observed across both the newcomers and our returning folks, mainly thanks to the humility and determination to learn that was demonstrated over the weekend.
I found running the line for the first time to be a lot more fun than I initially thought, and focused on that instead of a requal of the AQT.
Great discussions regarding liberty in today's time took place after wrapping up my rendition of the Third Strike, and I thoroughly enjoyed the group we had.
My only regret is that we didn't have more people on the line, however the tight-knit crew allowed for more personal instruction and deeper conversations.
Attached are a couple of photos I grabbed from videos I took. Unfortunately, the videos themselves are too good to share on the forum.
Looking forward to seeing you all in October. Can't wait to ring steel from 400.
In liberty,

Sorry so late chiming in. It was an awesome event from the location, the shooters and the instructor corp. Everyone there was a joy to hang out and shoot with. James, you are our future and having young folks like you in the mix, gives me hope for our future. Bright1, you did a great job in planning and running things. You spread the instruction tasks out to our more than capable instructors. I really enjoyed getting to know the shooters. There were no quitters in this bunch

Looks like this was a great event! And a nice range too! I hope I can come join the famous Arkansas crew and shooters at an event there soon. :)
I'm really late chiming in on this shoot follow-up, but I'm just coming up for air in my other hobby of Beekeeping. My honey harvest is completed and I'm ready to hit the range again. I enjoyed the meet and loved helping instruct a lot on the first day and then getting to shoot quite a bit on the second day. Loved working with all of y'all and excited to do a KD next month.
