Great to work with everybody on Saturday. We saw tons of improvement throughout the day.

Congratulations to the 5 new riflemen. This isn't a destination it's a journey so keep working those skills with a centerfire rifle and come to a full distance event as soon as you can.

I look forward to seeing everyone at a future event.

Wow, what a group of Appleseeders - off the couch and out into the hot sun where five out of thirteen earn known distance Rifleman patches in a 1-day event. Really impressive job!

And when the going got tough (hot!), everyone helped keep the firing line safe, not always easy when you're tired and sweaty. We had two junior shooters (Rei and Kaz) in our group who did themselves proud and didn't miss a beat with a great attitude and super improvement. Dave and Laura started out with some rust and wider groups but just persisted relentlessly, fixing one item at a time until Dave finished the day within 6 points of Rifleman, and Laura just behind him. And everyone learned something about marksmanship and collected some data for shooting their rimfires at longer ranges.

Impressive work and a big thanks for making this such a fun event to volunteer at.

Thanks to everyone for coming out for this Rimfire KD event.

And thanks to Boulder Rifle Club for hosting us.

I forgot to take as many pics as I normally would at this shoot, sorry.



Do good, recklessly.

Hey Pete,
I heard you resurfaced at the C Springs shoot. Hope I get to see you at an event. Good to see you're back!
