We started out with a windy and gusty day on Saturday. Sunday not as bad. 7 fine Americans joined us for this event. I want to thank Hinckley Conservation Club for being our host range for this event. We saw steady improvement from all this weekend. Thank you all for coming out to hear our message.  Remember, the key to the journey to becoming a Rifleman is persistence. I know each and every one of you have it in you to Get a Rifleman patch, standards are high, but obtainable.
Sunday we had 2 Rifleman, Ward with a 217 and Ben with 223.
Then they proceeded to do it again on Sunday again with Ward with 226 and Ben with 223.
Keep at it you two, that distinguished patch we talked about is not too far away.
Thank you to the youth that came out as well, You are our the future of our republic. Liam,Caius,Evelyn and Anders. Remember Benjamin Franklin's Quote: A Republic, if you can keep it.

Firstly,  a big huzzah goes out to the shooters! What a wonderful group to work with! They all put in a serious effort and it certainly paid off for everyone of them. Excellent job lady and gentlemen!

Additionally, I would very much like to extend my sincerest appreciation and gratitude to M14 Man and Taylor. I could not have asked for a better pair of mentors! They both in my humble opinion, truly modeled Appleseeds mission in its highest tradition and spirit. And thank you all for the kind words. I look forward to working with you all in the near future.
