We planned on a Winterseed, but the weather didn't cooperate, giving us warm sunny days despite it being February in New England. In spite (or because) of that, 11 shooters turned out ready to learn, to persist, and with that patch in their sights!
For three of them, this was the weekend. They listened, practiced, persisted in the face of disappointment, and achieved something. For several more, there remains only a little dryfiring before the next Appleseed to get them over the line.
It continues to be an honor to teach such motivated students.
