Congratulations to Iowa's newest Rifleman, Andrew!
The son of one of Iowa's latest wave of IIT's, ΙΧΘΥΣ, Andy's first ever AQT was a blazing 235 !!! ^:)^
I see another orange hat in the future, and Project Appleseed in NE Iowa reaching the tipping point...
Congratulations once again, Andrew!
And full credit to Andrew here...
After earning his patch on Saturday he cam back into the mud on Sunday and tried again with a different rifle with completely different sights. Alas the combination of unfamiliar equipment and unforgiving weather kept him from hitting that Rifleman score again but he was knocking on the door. That sort of willingness to keep learning will make for an excellent Orange Hat after a couple of more 'seeds and a solid Red Hat not long after.
