The Izzac Walton League of America & Marty is a great host who has scheduled Project Appleseed every January. While we didn't get any snow, the 14-students got to experience Stafford's cold, rain and mud! Marty was able to keep the fire burning both days so shooters could warmup during breaks.

While I was only there for Saturday, it was great to share the range with these students. I always seem to smile more when families show up.
While a bit chilly and muddy, everyone kept a positive attitude. O0
Stay vigilant,
