What a fantastic weekend for shooting! Beautiful weather...mostly ;) ...and some true Patriots came out to join us. We had a couple of people new to Appleseed join us - Dave and Crista, it was a pleasure to have you both there. Dave, I'm sorry you had to miss the 100 yd portion. Bring that AR back and we'll do it again. And Crista, now that you have that 25 yd line marked off in the backyard and some targets, I know you'll come back ready to grab a patch. And it's always a pleasure to have the Pierrs and Hausers join us. What a fun group! It was fantastic to see the improvement you all made between last August and this weekend. Keep up the practice. I know you'll each get your Rifleman patch.
All of these Americans came together this weekend to reinvest themselves in our shared heritage and improve their marksmanship skills. And that they did. They could have sat on the couch. They could have lounged by the poolside. They could have went shopping for knick-knacks or the latest fashions. Instead they came to an Appleseed. And they did it in beautiful weather. And in the hail. Seriously - they kept on shooting through the hail. It was truly an impressive sight. Thank you all for being strong-willed, tough-to-the-core Americans. I love it. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon. Pictures coming soon!
Someone say pictures?

What a great group of shooters for me to draw on my first weekend instructing. Rochester is a really nice range, I'm hoping to make it there on a regular basis.
Work on those positions at home. It's easy to watch TV in the sitting or prone a few minutes each night. Dry firing doesn't cost a thing either, just be safe, triple check that rifle! Let's get those scores higher.
Ain't nothin' like a good hailstorm to get you in that Rifleman's Bubble!
Keep up the good work Indiana!
AWESOME! Courtlin on the demo squad. I've seen her shoot, I venture to say she did as good a job as any instructor.
:bow:
