Bama, Derrel, Brandon, Dane these guys were awsome the history and patience they displayed were outstanding. I scored 199 the last Aqt.  I scored 146 the first day at the end. Wonderful people of a like mind.  Awsome!!!!

Thought you guys ought to know!   ^:)^

"Folks, this Appleseed thing doesn't work if we get a patch and go home. It doesn't work if we shoot a Rifleman score and remember the good times we had out on the range. It only works if we take that 7th Step and spread the 'seed. HUZZAH!!!"  Slim

Jake and I had a great time at the Birmingham shoot.  He was bouncing off the walls when he got home!

Oh, and Brandon - congrats on earning that Red Hat!     :)

My comments to come....

Thanks.

I feel that it is my duty to do what I can. Not only a duty but a Honor to be part of the program. We have top notch people in this organization and I am pleased they let me tag along. ;)

"Tag along"? Heck, I was gonna sew some gold fringe on your hat and push you out in front.  @)

Seriously, the last two weekends have been absolutely grand to me. Two friends, two more red hats and Alabama closer to independence!



I am proud of every single person that was present. Everyone came with a great attitude, wanting to learn and persevering despite dreary weather. As we had discussed, becoming a Rifleman is more of a mental effort than a physical one and everybody had the right mentality and dedication to move forward even in physical discomfort. I have no doubt that everyone present will be back and will secede succeed in reaching the Rifleman or Riflewoman status.  ::)

A big thanks to all the orange hats present. Ya'll are the future of the effort, and I thank you for helping push the Appleseed cart. Many hands do make light work.

Suthron salute to Friedenmeister and Bagel for coming to help. It was great to see you guys and your presence on Saturday helped immeasurably. Thank you, gentlemen.

A rebel yell to Steve for backing me up on Saturday. You don't know how much relief you provided....

In Liberty,
Bama
