Project Appleseed

We had another GREAT event at the LeRoy Rifle Pistol Club with a 1 day pistol to take part in the Appleseed Pistol Month. Doug, Brandy (Mrs Bundt Pan) and Terry, plus our volunteers Peper 5150 and Vopps made this a great weekend. Many thanks to all of you.

Our first hits count showed that our shooters were ready for the fast passed day, and they continued to impress all day. Doug cleared our Red Coat, and we had 3 100 yard shooters!


We worked our way through the points of instruction and the strikes as the day progressed. We were able to rock out 3 PQTs with the fancy R/W/B targets.

Congrats to Doug (225) Terry (219) and Vopps (225) on your requals.







I even got a chance to try out Vopps S&W Victory 22 for a 235.

Those Full color patches are sharp

Peper 5150 and Brandy both posted great scores, and had there not been equipment issues, im thinking they would have patches as well.

Our final red coat showed we were tired, Doug got the button, and we had hits at all distances but no one cleared it.

Thanks to our participants, the volunteers, and the range for a great day!

I am not sure what his accuracy is like, but this is how you gain fire superiority with a bolt action.

Also, why didn't I think of that before?  The way he uses his alternate trigger finger.

It was a great weekend. Thank you to the team of instructors for all the hard work towards making the weekend a big success. I look forward to more Appleseed clinics in the future!

What is weather like the first week of January in NH? Light snow fall or impassible 8 feet deep drifts needing a lifted F-350 to pass through?

Count me in!

Congrats Luke and Graham!!!
