What a fun weekend!
We had 4 shooters Saturday and 5 Sunday.
Weather was perfect.
The shooters were some sharp cookies. Seriously made my job easy peasy.

Congratulations to the new Riflemen!
Adam, and Chris.
And reaffirming after 5 years Matt.
Well done fellas. O0

Big thanks to circus city rifle club for hosting.

See you all again soon.

WAY TO GO ADAM!!!
"My primary objective is to change hearts and minds, for that is where the gaping hole in the hull of the USS America lies. I am looking to make a spark and praying that it will ignite, by their own will, into a bonfire in their hearts and souls."  PHenry

"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

I know it was the day of the Kentucky Derby, but is that an official Appleseed instructor uniform?  Points for style, I am sure ^-^
"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value."   T Paine

This is what happens when I am double booked! I went to the shoot in the morning then left around lunch to go to my good friend's derby themed bridal shower and when I came back they were on the Saturday afternoon's Redcoat, so I didn't feel the need to change since they were finishing up.

This was a great shoot, low on numbers but high on teachable attitudes. Great job to all 5 who came out and joined ahhshoot and myself. Congratulations to Adam for finally scoring Rifleman!!! It was well deserved after the many shoots of being so close! I hope you will consider the Orange Hat as your next step!

Congratulations also goes out to our other Rifleman, Chris! He worked really hard too and on the last AQT he scored a Rifleman score with losing I believe three shots on the seated position.

To the two who haven't scored it yet, you showed huge improvements throughout the weekend and I know that 210 or higher will come very soon! Keep it up everyone and I hope to see you on the line again!

Thanks everyone involved, shooters and instructors alike. ahhshoot and Trisha were amazing instructors.  All the shooters were extremely good from the get go and everyone improved further as far as i could see.
Trisha and Adam, thanks for carding me and taking the time to work on flinching and obscure head moving. (its a .22.. why would that happen!)
ahhshoot, adam and the others, i learned a lot just from watching you all sling up and get into position.
Matt, well, even with a dead arm and broken finger you stuck it out and put in some great shooting. I just ordered a USGI sling, the swivels, and some targets from the Appleseed store. We'll have to find a place to practice before the next event we hit.
And thanks for the history and giving me a lot to think about.

Over all this was the best weekend of shooting i think i've experienced.

Welcome to the forum Chris! I'm glad you had a great weekend and I hope you and Matt can make it to another one soon.

Btw I hope you don't mind, but I'll be using your quote in a little article I'm writing for the Baraboo News Republic. :)

Plz let me know if You have any questions or comments.
