What can I say about this amazing family that hasn't already been said? They are professional Appleseed shooters, a loving, tight knit family. They make delicious food, and have the best sausage gravy in the south. But, all of that pales in comparison to their dedication to being the best parts of what this country has to offer. A family owned and operated farm by multiple generations putting person responsibility and Liberty at the very top of their to do list. They already had 2 generations take a Orange Hat, BUT this weekend, 2 more stepped up to offer their skills and their knowledge to fresh new Appleseeders. A BIG warm welcome to Redcrayon and Chickwick!!!
The youngest on the line at just 12 years old is already chomping at the bit to join the cause! This was Liam's first shoot where he was big enough to HOLD THE RIFLE!! He impressed us all with some VERY IMPRESSIVE scores. I foresee a new Rifleman before too much longer. Ethan and Jemma were once again in direct competition, but Ethan squeaked out a win a whopping 246! Almost a perfect score. But not to be outdone by his kids, David Sr. turned in a few Rifleman scores to prove he still knows what he is all about. Bryan joined us on Saturday, but could not join in on the fun on Sunday. He had some "adulting" to do, but he will be back to defend his rifleman score. Ezra was the breakout star of the Weekend! He attended his first Appleseed this weekend, and had to leave early on Saturday. But he was the first one back on Sunday morning! Impressive, since the other shooters live on site! LOL He was such a good sport, and he turned in awesome scores for his first event, and promised to attend another event soon. I'll hold you to that Ezra! ;) ;)
All in all, another great shoot at Pastured Life Farm. Already looking forward to the next one.
Big thanks to everyone at Pastured Life Farm for hosting us! The hospitality and enthusiasm were phenomenal (and the food! ;D )
Congratulations to our two newest IITs for taking a hat and a bucket, I can't wait to see crayon and chickwick patrolling the firing line and picking on- I mean coaching their younger brother and dad
Great shooting and instruction and storytelling all around this weekend!
Can't wait to see everyone at the next one O0
Sorry I missed it; I am sure it was a great event.
Keep up the good work. :)
I wonder if that farm has some longer distance shooting. HUMMMMMMM :) Just have to keep the turkeys out of the way.
LOAD!!!!! Gobble,gobble, gobble! Favorite thing ever.
As always, this event didn't disappoint and the quality of the Appleseed instruction is always top notch! I would like to personally thank Sea Sniper, Pirategirl, Floridanick, and Leadpusher for taking the time and teaching our family and friends about the unbelievable heritage and history we share while providing invaluable marksmanship training.
We are very happy to host and spoil the Appleseed instructors who selflessly give they're weekends up to teach heritage and pass on their shooting skills and knowledge to so many!
You all are deeply appreciated!
Steve! You were missed but there is spirit! Your ears must have been burning. Let me think about a longer range, it sure would be fun to do a 200m .22 shoot or KD if we can find a long enough stretch.
Pirategirl, I should have moved the turkeys closer for the shoot! 😂 There is always next time!
Thank you all again!
Dave
Already looking forward to it Dave!
Sounds like an amazing event! We will make one of the O'Brien events eventually! So excited that Redcrayon and Chickwick took orange hats! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I look forward to working with you both!
