What a great group of mostly new and a couple returning Appleseeders! The shooters got to the grind on Saturday after getting a bit of a late start. All came with a teachable attitude and were taking the grind in strides. We made it through all of the Saturday POI and the Volley for Liberty shared across the country. Equipment familiarization along with getting the flow of the event allowed shooters to show progress in sighting in and getting smaller groups. We had one shooter with equipment issues even with a loaner rifle, but he continued to persist through the malfunctions learning the different POI.
The weather was a little cool both mornings but (especially Sunday) became comfortable and enjoyable. By the end of the weekend we had 1 Re-Qualifer, Mutant Texan (Matt D.). Mutant Texan scored a 211 however, it was his first time scoring Rifleman with his centerfire rifle using open sights! Huzzah Mutant Texan!
We also had one shooter, Adam, step up and accept a Blue Hat! Glad to have you helping the program, see you on the trail!
Hope to see you all on the line again in the future! A Rifleman always persists!

Sounds like a great and well run event.
Congratulations to all the shooters who persisted and improved on the road to becoming a Rifleman. Remember to persist, it is worth it.
This thread is no longer worthless! pictures are up.
Thank you Ohio for the hospitality. I had a truly wonderful time. It always seems like you made a whole bunch of new friends at the end of the weekend.
Who will accept the 14 challenge? .... I hope you all do and in turn help Project Appleseed grow and save the country.
Help me, the 14 challenge?
Corvette
14,000 patriots were mobilized on 4/19/1775.
How many individuals today could mobilize 1400? 140?
Superheat challenged everyone to recruit 14 people to attend an appleseed within a year.
Is there a more appropriate place to celebrate Patriots Weekend than a shoot outside a town called Liberty Center? I don't think so!
A big thanks to Superheat for traveling down South and crossing the border into Buckeye territory to help here in Ohio. Honestly, we didn't hold it against you! :) I have now seen a person who packs more shoot stuff than Corvette ;D. Your own flag pole - now that is impressive! Seriously, I loved the flags framing each side of the range. Having to look downrange and look at them and remembering what they stand for is very sobering. Your more than welcome anytime! O0. I don't know why ITB had to come and check on you. >:D
A great weekend for our shooters and AS crew and the weather cooperated as well. Congrats to Mutant Texan for qualifying/re-qualifying with his centerfire. A good group of shooters with many showing promise of being able to get a patch.
A big HUZZAH for Adam for stepping up and taking a Blue hat. I foresee an orange hat an maybe even a red hat in your future.
Looking forward to seeing everyone on the trail again.
