It was a fantastic shoot at Hurlburt Field this weekend. The weather was a little cool in the morning but bright and crisp the rest of the day. Ideal Appleseed weather.

Of the 16 shooters on the line, 7 were juniors, ages 10 to 15. Having so many youngsters in attendance was heartwarming. The up-and-coming generation is getting involved and so are their parents. Many of the shooters on the line were participating in Appleseed as a family.

"Smiles" participated as a volunteer for the first time this weekend. She did a fantastic job taking on the role of IIT. She is only 14. She represents the future of this program, and I can't wait to watch her progress.

Several of our IITs, Smiles, Brambo911 and Konaboy, requalified. Konaboy did it with a near perfect score of 247!

One of our first time students, Crystal, who attended with her family, was the only riflewoman this weekend. Most of the other shooters were right on her heels and will score next time.

I want to thank the Hurlburt Field Rifle and Pistol Club for hosting Project Appleseed. They continue to be supportive. They have hosted us for many years and, I hope, will do so for many more.

P.S. Thank you Gunjunkie and Justkim for your mentorship. Thank you to all the IITs and instructors who helped along the way. I appreciate you all.

Mrs Waky  :)

This was a great event!  We had amazing people come out and spend the weekend with us -- It was a pleasure and an honor working with each and every one of them!

CONGRATS Christine on earning your Green Hat.  You did a great job!!
It's not about perfection -- it's about progress!!

I LOVE this stuff!

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again" Ronald Reagan

This was a great weekend. We had an awesome group of patriots on the line and a fantastic group of instructors. It was a special weekend for me as I watched Mrs Waky, someone I have worked with her whole time in the program, earn her Green hat. Congratulations Christine, wear it with pride.

I want to thank Hurlburt Rifle and Pistol Club for their continued support of Appleseed.
