A Big THANK YOU! To Mingo Rod & Gun Club for their continued support of Project Appleseed, the students and the Border Raiders that came to help out!

We had great weather and some great shooting.

More to come.
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

Opening with some detailed instruction on what you need to know to participate in a KD event...
"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."  Mark Twain

Everyone had a chance to try for Morgan's shingle (or a steel replica), but found that it was a serious challenge...

So some discussion was needed on the importance of sighting in at distance

We tried a variety of positions at distance..

100 yards was quite a challenge, even from prone...

By the end of the day a lot of "bling" was presented, including a 75-event pin...
