I want to thank all of the instructors. This was a top notch event run without a hitch. Many good shooters and new riflemen. Your time and effort are appreciated.

Great shoot! Teachable attitudes had by all and it showed by the number of Rifleman (and near Rifleman) scores. Thanks eveyone for making this such a safe, fun and successful event.

This was my first Appleseed, and the whole thing was terrific. Well run, safe, informative, and the effectiveness of the training showed in the score improvements across the whole group. I know I was shooting better on Sunday than when I showed up Saturday morning! Huzzah!

Many thanks to all the volunteers.  I'm beat, and must get some rest, but I'll see if I got any good pictures tomorrow.

My 2nd Appleseed ... 1st was back in April of this year.

I kept applying each of the techniques I was taught & my AQT scores consistently increased during the day on Sunday ... started at 176 ... ended the day with 2 rifleman scores  :~  :~

Thanks to all the great Appleseed Staff ... Redhats & Bluehats!

In October, I'll recruit some friends to join me and remove the rifle scope to trade out for tech sights.  O0

Again, many thanks.
Terry ... aka Roundball.

Wow, looks like I missed a fantastic Sunday of shooting.  Some of the pictures show great improvement and at least three new Riflemen!  Huzzah!!!

Big thanks to the range, Longrifleman, DGMilty and Del for putting on a great shoot and a big thank you to all that attended.  Hope to see you all soon on the line again.

Corvette, you are right, you missed it.

My redcoats showed a lot of improvement but I think the heat got the best of me. I will be working on my fundamentals in the meantime and be back in October to work toward my patch.

I had such a good time and met so many wonderful Americans.

A Victory Volley for a great bunch of wide awake Americans!! HUZZAH!!!! HUZZAH!!!! HUZZAH!!!!
Congratulations to FIVE brand new Riflemen! Nearly one-third of our attendees but more importantly a fantastic bunch of shooters with so many knocking on the door. I believe every one of you, with persistence, WILL achieve a rifleman score- that's how good the shooting was in Wilmington this weekend.
I had a great time and I hope everyone who attended feels the same way. My hat's off to you all and to my fellow instructors for your enthusiasm, commitment and support.
Yea it was hot out there! So hot I think one guy sandbagged the QDAQT and hit 210 exactly just to get the ice-cold North Bridge water!
Stay in the bubble shooters! Use that fuzzy carpet range in your living room to dry-practice and we'll see you back to claim a patch! HUZZAH!!!
