A fine Colorado weather weekend for the final event of the season (knock wood for no rain, snow, blizzard next year).
Thanks to the Lockheed Martin Space company for sponsoring the event at their Skyline Hunting and Fishing Club range (with no range fees).
In attendance were 11 shooters and 7 instructors (the largest team we've had at a meet in a very long time). This included two youth shooters of ages 10 and 11, who were some of the most focused and disciplined young shooters we've seen at our events!
One shooter received her Orange Hat.
There were 2 new riflemen and a requal (at Distinguished level = 244)
Three shooters received the Saratoga quarter for cleaning a redcoat, and 1 received a Bedford flag patch for cleaning a redcoat and shooting rifleman on the same day.
All of us:

This group certainly demonstrated that they know very well what they are about!
Kudos to all of the shooters, particularly our two new Riflemen on earning their patches, and to our distinguished re-qualifier!
Much gratitude to Skyline HFC for their hospitality in the use of the range, and of course to our instructor crew and Shoot Boss codefogey for running another outstanding shoot.
We'll be back at Skyline in early 2026. Check the CO events calendar here for updates: https://appleseedinfo.org/schedule/?qstate=CO&state=Colorado
