Mountain Valley Sportsman's Association opened up their 400 yard range so Riflemen could bring out the centerfire rifles and work on mastering the Rifleman's Quarter Mile. They are one of the most supportive ranges in Appleseed – thank you MVSA!
Our two shooters, father and son, came up from Louisianna. In spite of having only attended one 25m Appleseed, they both had solid fundamentals and shot well. Tracy was grouping well early into the weekend and consistently improved. Drew qualified on his first AQT; he also qualed on every AQT he shot! Drew, Jayhawker and Guns&Hoses all hit Morgan's Shingle with all the other shooters attempting to hit it standing.
Overall, everyone played a big part in making a fantastic weekend. There's a lot of thanks to go around. Bright1 sets these up for Arkansas, Jayhawker and Bright1 set up the range on Friday for everyone and big thanks to JayHawker for bringing the pork!! Everyone enjoyed sharing the instruction and history and, of course, thanks to our shooters for making the trip to spend the weekend with Appleseed. Great weather, great food, great range and especially, great people. We also need to call out SwiftonGal for being the top shooter and scoring 49 for distinguished. That's some fancy shooting and is probably the best shooting in Arkansas this year!

What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated. - Thomas Paine
Here are my few remaining pictures of the event.
