We had a great weekend at Nappanee Conservation Club. The weather was cool, but clear. Saturday was very windy but it didn't affect the enthusiasm of the shooters. We had some people who could only be with us on Saturday, but the crowd who returned Sunday enjoyed some great weather. It was a pleasure working with you all!

Here we are starting early in the morning with just a bit of wind:

We are getting going with a great line. That is club president and Appleseed rifleman Jeff in the foreground looking after his daughter and doing a great imitation of an instructor. Riflegirl (aka Alex) is showing off her shiny new orange hat. Also Pitmaster is caught on film with one of the rare moments of him standing still while he does his Blue Hat duties.

That's it for now. I might have a few more photos when I check the wife's camera.
What a great weekend! ^:)^
Many thanks to the Nappanee Conservation Club for hosting and catering to us this weekend. Club president Jeff (tinman) made sure that we lacked nothing, laboring and sharing throughout the event with us.
No matter where I go, I always meet the finest folks at Appleseeds. You each did a great job looking out for one another, reconnecting with our shared heritage and improving in the fundamentals of marksmanship. O0
I love seeing families and friends on the line sharing the experience.
We'd love to hear your thoughts and see you back on the line again. Don't forget to tell others and bring them back with you.
Will post more later, but wow... that was a real nice weekend. Thanks everyone! :bow:
What a great weekend to share with my daughter. You guys all did an awesome job! Thanks for coming out and putting in so much effort.
Tinman....
I had a great time. This was an excellent Appleseed with a range of experiences.
Tinman, I bet you had a great time with Pinkie. SASS enjoyed playing with her too. I wish I could have been there Sunday.
If anybody got pictures of pinkie and I shooting and spotting for each other at the 100 yard line, I'd really appreciate a copy.
Tinman....

Sadly, my camera was AWOL for most of the event and I didn't get any. :-[
However... I do recall her spotting feedback while you were shooting: "V... V... V... you're in the dirt... V..."
I think that perhaps
one of those calls might not have been you, sir. **)
Good times, good memories, let's make some more next season at Nappanee!
Anybody else have pics or feedback? Everybody remember how to make your rifle safe? ;) lolz
Yea, we might need to add a spotting 101 to the curriculum in the future ;D
She does still use the steps to make it safe, she has even been known to sing them..... wonder where she learned that from?
