What a great day at the range! We had 7 shooters preregistered and 2 walk-ons today! Of these there were 2 that had previously participated in an event and 7 brand new to Appleseed. All who came arrived with great teachable attitudes and a desire to learn more about their heritage. There was a great improvement in the scores on the redcoats between AM and PM.

Hats off to Michael for bringing his son to the event, and Michael Jr. did a great job with his shooting today. O0

Thanks to everyone for contributing to a safe and productive day. More to follow!

Looks like you guys had a great shoot! More wind and snow would've helped though... ;D

WOW! 100% returned for Sunday and Dave shot a 220 to earn his Rifleman's patch! ^:)^

While I am sad we lost two orange hat instructors from our cadre this weekend :'( I am VERY HAPPY :D to say we now have two additional red hats!

Congrats to azmule and NEWGUY556 on passing their IPCs this weekend!!! O0

Thanks again for coming out and sharing your weekend with us. (And there may yet be an orange hat joining the AZ cadre from your ranks)

Please chime in and post any photos you have as well.

The shoot ran very smooth. The shooters were very conscientious and safe. That makes it easy on the instructors.
A number of them showed interst in the shoot scheduled for next month and I hope to see them there.

Thanks AZB! This was a great bunch of shooters - motivated to "get it right." I hope to see most, if not all of them next month - sufficient dry-fire practice between now and then and we could well have a bunch of new Riflemen in April.

It's a shame it didn't snow though. :))

Congratulations to Scott and Mike! They set a pretty high bar on presentation and coaching. Makes me redouble my efforts!

The weather couldn't have been better, and as you all know the range is pretty easy to get used to. Although that afternoon sun in the eyes atop the Buckeye Mountain is a little challenging

The only disappointment was not having more participants. I'm personally going to make a point of a daily advertisement in one forum or another (fora?) for at least the next few weeks and see if we gan get interest up for the April shoot. Persistence is the key, isn't it?

We had a really good group this weekend and I'm looking forward to seeing folks repeating in April.

Be well and dry fire y'all!
