Instructors from Pennsylvania and Ohio gathered at Slippery Rock Sportsman Club last weekend to polish our skills, socialize with our fellow patriots and catch up on the latest administrative developments for Project Appleseed. While a ferocious rain/windstorm raged outside Saturday, we were grateful to be honing our instructional skills inside the clubhouse. Many thanks to SRSC for donating the facility for the weekend, and also for supporting Project Appleseed for thirteen years!
Our three veteran shootbosses mentored students with experience levels ranging from an Instructor with almost 50 events to his credit to Instructors-In-Training with only one or two events under their belts. Topics ranged from interactive discussions on Attributes of an Instructor and the importance of Seventh-Stepping to hands-on experience running a Mock Firing Line and presenting the dreaded Inches, Minutes and Clicks lesson.
As we wrapped things up Sunday afternoon everyone agreed that it had been time well spent. Everyone left with increased understanding of the program and some new tools in their instructional toolbox. Thank you all for dedicating a weekend to becoming a better Appleseed instructor. I hope you all had a great time. I know that I did! O0
