Sorry for the late post on this folks, but here we are!
Great weekend everyone. for 90+ degree days and near obscene humidity, (I'm pretty sure we weren't in Florida!) You guys all worked especially hard in the heat. With 2 new Riflemen, to boot!
Thank you all for coming out and look out here for pictures from the event coming very soon!
-Janir
It was a very warm weekend; on this the 240 and 1/4 anniversary of the events we recall to learn from. All survived, and we had a fine crew and a great group of American's wanting to learn what we had to share.
On to the pictures of the days:

It was a busy eventful day;
EPILOGUE:
Well I didn't get to do any more pictures today.
I forgot to hand off my phone (as a camera) so someone could get photos of the rookie orange hat giving what were, based on all reports, a couple of fine tales of some "Dangerous Old Men" ;) ...
All in All - Another Excellent day with this fine group of AMERICANS!
Thanks to all that were there!
Project Appleseed -
Learn Some Marksmanship - Understand some History - LIVE the Heritage.
. ... double post sorry ...
Huzzah! We had a great weekend of history, heritage and marksmanship. A big thanks to Janir for coming down from the frozen tundra to green hat the shoot and to our friend TJ for loaning us his firing line.
The marksmanship was excellent with 2 Riflemen produced and several others knocking on the door. We had 3 fine young men on the line who showed great discipline in the heat and will become great Riflemen as they get stronger; so, push ups and dry fire practice and some more push ups.
Brother Bill did a great job on the line as well as telling some mighty fine history stories on Sunday.
Did we mention Indy is collecting hats, adding orange to his collection? Huzzah!
Thanks to all who participated and I hope to see y'all again at another shoot.
In Liberty,
LS6
The young men on the line this weekend did an EXCELLENT job. It was very hot, but they hung in there, paid attention, shot safely, and showed a lot of improvement! I hope to see all three of them back at future events (psst - we'll be in Elwood in September).
There were two Riflemen this weekend, but several others were close (psst - we'll be in Elwood in September).
Janir - Again, thank you for making the drive for this event!
TJ - Thanks for lending us the line!
Bocefus - Thanks for coming out on Sunday! Your rifleman expertise/insights and diligence as an RSO are much appreciated.
Brother Bill - Nice job all weekend, and I thought your DOM stories on Sunday were especially good.
LS6 - Always great to spend a weekend with you, and thanks for the encouragement!
How could I forget Bo! Maybe because, like that masked man of old, he just rode on in and got things done.
Thank you Bo.
