I had the pleasure of managing the first "in the wild" Pistolseed Rebluing in Sidney OH. A phenomenal group of volunteers from across the eastern US attended. We had hats from TN, OH, IN, PA and MI. Shep was our host and what host! The building and surrounding area was very nice and the provided lunch both days (burgers and brats) really hit the spot! Thanks for your hospitality, Shep!
The attending pistol instructors leaned in to the differences as we covered how Appleseed Pistol Clinic has become Pistolseed. Instruction went well and we had some lively discussions as well. Small groups were efficient and thorough allowing all to have experience with the new and changed material (sets and reps!). Many thanks to the Small Group Leaders for keeping things moving throughout the weekend.
Everyone in attendance did a magnificent job. I have no reservations about ANYONE presenting Pistolseed instruction going forward.

What a motely crew! You're the one we need to thank, along with Geek, Jayshoneybunny and Shep, for bringing us up to speed and keeping us on the straight and narrow. Thanks to everyone for making us border raiders feel welcome.

It was great to meet and work alongside my fellow cadre members from all over!
ArmyVet did a great job moderating the discussions and leading us where we needed to go.
Geek, JHB, Shep, and Rangerat67 were helpful in walking us through all of the work that the pistol committee has done.
Shep was a fantastic host; thank you again for the lovely facilities and the lunches each day.
It's been neat to see the pistol program grow and mature. Each time it gets a revision, I feel like it moves one step closer to becoming the awesome resource we all know it can be. While iteration can be slow and frustrating work at times, trying new things is exciting, too. I look forward to seeing each of you again in the future!
P.S. Yates, if you ever decide to record the wonderful history stories you have, we will all be richer for it.
Huzzah!
Awesome!!! ^:)^
Looks like a great group. I'm excited to see this program roll out. Thank you all for putting in the hard work and for your dedication to the cause. May Liberty increase! :beer:
