We had a good shoot at Waco with 13 shooters coming out. The weather was outstanding for the two days (low 80's).
The skill levels of the shooters varied from experienced to brand new. The inexperienced shooters showed great persistence and significant improvement. Some of the shooters were knocking on the door of rifleman - maybe next time.
We appreciate Ragnar Delta for stepping up and accepting the orange hat.
Many thanks to NJRefuge, AF5US, RDJ, and Gunner01 for their excellent instruction.
Thanks again to Paul and all of you for making me feel welcome and for all the help and pointers!
I am so happy to be a part of this and truly believe that Appleseed is the best shooting program out there. So very impressed. Looking forward to helping as much as possible and being a part of the team.
See you all in at the large shoot planned for May in Waco!
Aw, you're going to make us blush ::)
First of all - I've said this to you in person, but I second the special welcome to Ragnar Delta. I've enjoyed talking with you at each of the two events we've met.
I also want to agree with what paul.rome said - some of those shooters were doing well. It's no surprise that some of those same people didn't quite make it to rifleman on their first event - it's a challenging set of requirements. One of those people that was close was a friend of mine that attended. His good shots were good, but unfortunately he got excited (nervous) during the time limits & threw too many shots - killed his score. We're already making plans to do some private practice, and he'll be back again with his son.
You know it's a strong program when the shooters come back for more!
