9 Patriots came out to Hear the history , improve their marksmanship , learn about them selves and face the brutal Florida Sun.
6 Brave canopies came along to provide us shade  4 canopies came back alive.

Great improvement was made by all.
All the Credit goes to the wonderful instructor crew that showed up.

More to follow.  :F
Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge

Americans never quit.

Watching Canopies self destruct in a Raging Down pour, is interesting But not Fun. There was not a Dry Student or Instructor, on the line Saturday Afternoon. But We did do some more shooting. Then More rain!!!! to say Late Saturday afternoon was a Washout, would be an understatement.

Sunday was a much better day weather wise.
" The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms. €�  - Alexander Hamilton
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."    -- Thomas Jefferson

" The Beauty of The Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it"
Thomas Jefferson

Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.

Hope those canopies received a posthumous decoration LOL!

No better way to learn the value of ziplock baggies.

Good show; "a rifleman perseveres" is a line I'm using quite a bit these days. Fits here for sure.

A big thank you to Cable_Guy and his team of instructors out there for this Appleseed event. As always at Appleseed events, top notch marksmanship instruction and great telling of the history the events that took place on April 19, 1775.
My marksmanship accuracy increased considerably at this event with the wonderful instruction that was provided by the instructors. I see a rifleman patch in my near future.
Thanks again,
Ryan G.

Hey Ya,

Twas a weekend that I needed!

Caught up with Hangfire Ten yesterday by complete accident.  As always I get to meet the coolest people!

He happened to remind me what Adair's pistol might have sounded like.
