After Action Reports / Waverly, TN AAR March 23 & 24 2019
« Last post by bluegrasscolonel on Today at 05:15:40 AM »The Humphries County Sheriff’s office was kind enough to allow Project Appleseed to host an event this past weekend at their range. Thanks in no small part to the efforts of IIT Sgt-at-Arms’ efforts to promote this event in the area, it was sold out within days of it being posted on the schedule.
Saturday morning was pleasant and cool. The shooters began showing up early and were ready to get down to business. There were only a couple of shooters who had attended an Appleseed previously. The opening and First Strike (by Tennessee Beast) were warmly received.
Day one was filled with smiles from the shooters as they began to see their shooting improve. There were several young people attending and they all had great attitudes.
Saturday dawned with threats of rain. Despite this, every shooter returned and was enthusiastic about reviewing what they had learned the previous day. When we did move outside it was raining, but several pop-up canopies protected the line.
Scores on the AQT’s improved throughout the day and Josh (who qualified on his first event) shot a Rifleman score 3 times during the day. We had a few knocking on the door and feel confident they will earn that badge on their next trip.
By mid-afternoon the sun was out and the day was quite beautiful.
As we centered up to score the final Hits Count target of the event, one of our young shooters was the only one to clear the Redcoat! There was applause and smiles all around.
We had a great cadre at this event and the shooters were very kind in their comments as we concluded. Thanks to Living Hand, RustyGun, Black Knight, Tennessee Beast, Sgt-at-Arms and ArmyVet1969 for working hard to make this a successful event.
