Hi,
I just wanted to give a huge shout out and thank you to Austin, Andy and Joe for all their time an effort over the weekend. I think the whole group learnt a lot, I know I certainly did.
I will definitely be back.
Thanks again,
Dan
I second that! Not only did I enjoy the heck out of my weekend, I also learned to shoot. This Appleseed was my first time handling a rifle (except for the 40 rounds I fired earlier in the week to attempt to zero the rifle before the shoot).
I started the day "unqualified" to shoot my rifle. I was unslung and focusing on the target. 741 rounds later, I was shooting my best AQTs at the end of the weekend. I'm a numbers guy, so I went through my AQTs and self-scored them and charted my progress:

I'm sure there's learning curve, so those higher scores will come harder than the lower ones. But if the instruction stays stellar, I predict I will make the score on my 8th attempt at my next Appleseed! :cool2:
Thanks a lot guys, especially Austin for all the great individual attention and pointers. (And to the guy who found my invisible ear protection out in the range!)

I learned a ton myself. The quality of instruction was just great. I received good feedback from every single instructor, including our stealth instructor Bob.
I'm glad to have finally shot the score on Day 2. I almost cleared that last Redcoat too.
Poking around the forum here I found these great practice targets. Check out Post #4 for some short range (10', 12', and 5-10 yard) scaled targets.

I had a blast as well... Looking forward to the next one
