As requested from Double Aaron:
Leetown Gun Club (IWLA) Kearneysville, WV was the site of a One Day Winterseed Event. The day started off slow and cold (10°), snow on the ground, but it did not deter 16 dedicated shooters from coming out to learn about marksmanship and American History.
After lunch it started to heat up (29°) and we kicked it up a few notches knocking out 2 AQT's. 5 Achieved the coveted Winterseed Rifleman Patch and 1 re-qualified. HUZZAH!
An extremely busy day packed full of instruction resulted in 5 individuals obtaining Rifleman scores for the first time Charles (210), Steve (214), Joby (210), Lisa (226), Sven (222) and Aaron (217) re-qualifying. The students were very attentive to the motivating history lessons from NavyBowHunter, deMontjoie and Dangerous Old Men presented by ColdWarrior. We saw improvement amongst all the shooters throughout the day, as several students had never shot a rifle before. PiMuffy worked exclusively with the new shooters and all improved throughout the day. We closed out the successful afternoon with 1 shooter clearing the Red Coats.
To all the students thank you for a great event! I hope to see you at another Appleseed event soon and bring a friend, co-worker or family member. Remember to "Like" us on Facebook - Project Appleseed Maryland.

Navy Bow Hunter, Thank you for putting the link and report here.
Hopefully we can get some more shoots in the area.
I was so excited that we had a full range yesterday. Awesome!
