This shoot was a great success in my mind with a number of new and returning rifleman, shooters that arrived early on Saturday to help setup the range for the Appleseed event and those that stayed Sunday afternoon and helped cleanup and return the range to its pistol configuration. The history and marksmanship training were well received. As far as shooting is concerned we had Howard as a standout shooter attending his second Appleseed and scoring a 244 followed up by a 242 and a number of AQT's in the 230 range. Howard, congratulations on your great shooting. Congratulations to our new Rifleman, Tony and and our requalifying shooters. The downside to the shoot was the very hot temperatures both days, mid to high 90's both days without a cloud in sight. I believe the high temp's caused a fall off in scores on Sunday afternoon. Again I would like to thank the shooters that attended along with the team I had the honor of working with. I hope to see all of you at the events for 2024 that will be posted soon. Norm
