It was a beautiful weekend at a beautiful range!  Thanks to Monroe Sportsman's Club for hosting Project Appleseed for the third year.

There were plenty of students on the line and the first-rate crew of instructors kept the event flowing with nary a hitch.  The shootboss was virtually unemployed.  Many on the line were experienced Appleseeders, and a couple were Instructor alumni, so the marksmanship was generally pretty crisp.

Desiree cleared all four Redcoats and shot a high of 237.  Dale's high was 235, Mark's was 234, but the shooter who came closest to the coveted "240" was Calvin, with a 238.  Tom shook off the rust with a 217, and Sydnee earned her patch with a 211, and also cleared a Redcoat.  Several others scored high in the Sharpshooter range, flirting with a Rifleman score but not quite able to close the deal.

Hope to see you all again soon.  "A Rifleman persists!"

Such a beautiful weekend to get back on the trail. It was nice to see old friends and make some new ones.

I took some pictures Sunday afternoon after my neck, back, and knees had had enough. Here are some Dangerous Old Men:
"The most natural and eligible mode of attack on the part of the people is that of detached parties of bushmen who from their adroitness in the habitual use of the firelock suppose themselves sure of their mark at a distance of 200 [yards]." - Thomas Gage, March 4th, 1775

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption
of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the
Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." - Daniel Webster

"When all connection, upheld by commerce, with the mother country, shall cease, it may be suspected that an independency of her government will soon follow." - Thomas Gage
