Project Appleseed

We had a great shoot in Dubuque. The weather was a little cold on Saturday with temperatures barely reaching 40 degrees, but everyone endured the chill and persisted. Our PM redcoat results were phenomenal. Sunday started off with a significant frost on the ground, but the sun came out and things warmed up nicely. We ended up with three shooters earning a rifleman patch on Sunday. Congratulations to Chad (215 requalify), Ben (211), and Dustin (211 with a bolt action)!

At the end of the day Mark led our group in three Huzzahs!

Many thanks to the Izaak Walton club of Dubuque for sharing their wonderful range with us. And many thanks to Mark and Shannon for traveling half way across the state to spend their weekend helping instruct.

Looks like a great weekend was had by all.

Thank you for letting me use your rifle for this event. I look forward to seeing the instructors at a future event.
