Well, it does get cold here in Florida, it was in the 30's at night and Itsansks and I about froze our tootsies off along with Alex from the US Navy who also camped out at the range......buuuutttttt.......the Sun did come out finally and warmed it up to shirtsleeve weather.
I am going to let Itsansks give all the great details of the shoot, but  all I can say is we had an incredible 8 shooters who made more leaps and bounds in their abilities than this shooter has ever seen in the 30 plus events I have worked.....Congratulations to all of you and a BG 3 Huzzahas also.....here are some pictures in the mean time........it was so Great sharing a wonderful weekend with you all!!!!!!!!
Best Wishes,
BrownBess

As an attendee (for a 2nd time), I can certainly say that it was a truly great time. If I had the spare time, I'd do it every weekend! Rifleman eluded me, but I went home feeling confident in what I can do, and having learned more than I thought I would the second time around.
ItsanSKS and BrownBess, you two guys are remarkable. Keep up the good work, and I'll see you soon at another shoot. (I hope!)
Keep spreading the word, and bring some Polka music next time for the "dancing fingers"!
HUZZAH! HUZZAH! HUZZAH!

Simply an outstanding event run by true professionals!

My experience level with firearms, before I attended Appleseed, was moderate/intermediate. I easily qualified Expert on the AFQC with my duty weapon, a GUU-5P, but to say the AFQC than is easier than the AQT is somewhat of an understatement. As the attached targets show, I was shooting a 130ish by the end of Saturday, and was thoroughly humbled by that. By Sunday afternoon, I was flopping into my NPOA, following my 6 steps and having a ball. I walked away with a 208... and you better BELIEVE I'll be on a line again shortly!

Thanks again to Eric and Paul!
