What a great weekend with a great group of people. O0 It may have been cold but our hearts were warm and so were our rifle barrels, after all any day at the range it better than one a work. Thank you to Shep, The Buckeye Trapper, and Coyote 217 as it couldn't have been done without you guys.
An even better thanks to our shooters who came out on Saturday and braved the chilly temps and winds with what was truly an impressive display of marksmanship. I have never seen such a consistent group of shooters shoot so well. From our ladies, one who had planned to shoot with a scope but did awesome with irons, to another with the adversity plagued conversion kit everyone persevered and succeeded in their own way this weekend. Steven and Risa it was a pleasure and I hope to see each of you again.
On Sunday 2/3 of the line returned to continue to drink from the Appleseed fire hose and fill their minds with rifle knowledge. The AQT grind netted us one new rifleman and a hearty congratulations goes out to John with a 214. John you came such a long way from Saturday to that rifleman's score on Sunday it was a joy to watch as each revelation lead to tighter groups and better scores. Bill as always you continued to turn in tight groups as a rifleman should and some day I still hope to see you under a funny colored hat. ~~:)
Scott, Sir I thank you for your service and you were on the cusp of shooting that 210, just keep it up and it will come. Natalia I thank you too for your service and your willingness to add a little boom to our line of .22 pops this weekend. The skills are there, and it is but a matter of building consistency. Either way that little scaled 400M target at 100yd was an awesome display of those skills.
I say thank you again to everyone, I hope to see everyone on the line again some day. Remember however that no matter how good the ones marksmanship becomes we would not be able to enjoy this time together if it were not for the sacrifices of so many.
