After Action Reports / Leesburg Ares Range March 16 &...
Last post by Pirategirl - March 18, 2024, 08:34:26 AM
What a weekend!  We had 12 souls attend this weekend's event at the wonderful Ares Training Facility in Leesburg, FL.  The shooters ranged in age from less than 10, to more than 70!  What a great group of Americans we had!  Suffering through tough heat, not a single person quit, nor complained to slow down!  Troopers!  Over the 2 days new Riflemen were revealed.  Karen has been to a few events and she proved she knows very well what she is about.  Her husband Freddie is not going to be far behind!  Determination is the word of the day!  They brought another set of wonderful people.  Jacob (Ricky Bobby) and Eagle Eye Ellie!  IF we can get Jacob to SLOW DOWN he will be patching very, very soon.  Ellie started the weekend a little rough, but ended in all smiles!  She got out of boot camp in 1 day!  OUTSTANDING!  Once she gets her own rifle, she is going to be a force to be reckoned with.  Lincoln was our young shooter.  Less than 10 years old, he showed those big boys how to play!  He turned in some amazing scores and earned high praise from ALL the instructors!  He will be on the line again!  Not to be outdone, his dad Steve turned in a whopping 200 on his first Appleseed!  WOOHOO!!!  That is 1 shot in the 5 ring on stage 4!  Jemma is our resident rock star.  She didn't have a score less than 210 all weekend!  She is on the war path to the distinguished 240 score.  She will get it next time.  I'm confident!  Alex!  Even with a little help from his neighbors, he still managed to knock out a 191!  Next time Alex.  I will put you on the far end, away from the big boomers, and NO CROSSFIRE!  Daniel!  Boy did we have fun!  Even with all the brass raining down from the heavens from Nick, you still cranked out a 197!  HUZZAH!! That right there is proof in the pudding of natural ability.  Dave S.  I know I gave you a hard time being from that team up north (M), but you know how to SHOW UP!!!  212, 212, and a 214?  Come on down!!  Maybe there is hope for you yet as a BUCKEYE!  I'll keep tryin.  NICK!!!!  Whoop, whoop!  We've been trying, and man!  YOU DID IT!!!!  You earned that patch, and you did it with STYLE!  You look good in orange, but RED is your color!  Let's do it!  Welcome to the team.  David H!  Age is definitely not a factor!  First Appleseed event, Never slowed down, never quit, AND got to see your son get his Orange Hat!  I know you are so proud.  You had very respectable scores, and all of us talked about how GREAT you are.  What a legend, what a legacy!  Let's do it again my friend.  All in all, a fantastic weekend.  You all had the instructors so pumped up, we took over 200 pictures!  What?!  Crazy!  I will attach links below to the pictures.  You were the students we will always remember with the greatest attitudes I have ever seen.  The instructors mentioned it over and over again.  Kudos to you all, and PLEASE let's do it again!!!

Waco had a successful shoot with 19 shooters.  The weather was typical for the Spring - cool with some rain.  On the first day we had 3 shooters requalify, with one of those shooters achieving a 249.  The second day we had 3 requalifications, with another shooter, shooting distinguished.  We had a fourth shooter qualify for his first patch.   

The instructors provided excellent training throughout the weekend.

It was a Happy St. Patrick's day shoot at Pioneer Sportsmen in Dunbarton, NH. Thank you Pioneer for your continued support of our program.  We had 11 shooters over the weekend with 9 as first time Appleseeders.  It was extremely safe and we minted 2 new Rifleman.  Congratulations to Al and John on earning your patches.  We had 1 returning student and 3 instructors requalify.  Congratulations to Larry, Dan (RangeDog), Michael (NightPoison), and Kevin (KevinNH)

Dad Patrick and son Nick enjoyed a weekend together and made great progress in improvement.  Tim, Shane, Clyde and Andrew showed fantastic strides.  A Rifleman persists.  Scott took in the fundamentals on Saturday as a first timer and Larry joined us Sunday for his first shoot in New England.  Kit, a previous Rifleman, came close with a 208.

We heard the first strike Saturday morning.  nhalan presented a motivating second strike and Luigi brought it home with a great 3rd strike.  We heard the DOM stories Sunday just before KD.

Thank you all for a great event and hope to see you back on the line soon.
