It felt inappropriately luxurious to show up for an Appleseed in New England, in March, with snow falling, without needing layers of cold weather gear, thermos of warm liquids, etc. Fortunately, we got over quickly, and settled into the remarkable and impressive facility at Cape Gun Works. From the outset, it was clear that this was not a group of novices, so we worked them hard.
Between the indoor range and the classroom, we were always moving, and thanks to the attentiveness of our shooters, we were able to get through everything in good order, with enough time for a full baker's dozen AQTs over the course of the afternoon.
Special congratulations to our Rifleman and our Distinguished rifleman, just 5 more points to go on that 250.

I agree Lupis42. No blowing sand, rain or snow, lightning, streams of water, floating mats or blistering sun. It was odd and good to be in a first rate indoor firearm range and work the basics with a pretty high AQT shoot count and American heritage. Thanks for posting the pictures, I cannot get them posted no matter how I configure them more recently.
I had a great time and I think the instructors did an amazing job creating a very effective 1-day Appleseed.
