Project Appleseed

The Laramie Rifleman's Boot Camp (RBC) was the highlight of the five events taking place this June at the Laramie Rifle Range (LRR). Overall, we ended up having 42 participants from 10 states; many took part in multiple events.  None of this would have been possible without the continuing support of the Laramie Rifle Range, which has hosted this massive event for the last three years (and other Appleseed events for many years before that!). We are also indebted to the efforts of the local Appleseeders who made sure the event was coordinated with the LRR – thanks to Regular Guy and ALF!

Every participant (and all the volunteers) at the RBC earned something with respect to their marksmanship.

Brian D – Requalified Distinguished on the 25m range, Qualified KD and Distinguished on the KD range, Cold Bore shot and tied for top shooter on our KYL competition.
Ryan K  – New Rifleman shooting irons on the 25m and Distinguished on the KD range! (and Pistoleer™)

It was an incredible week of fellowship, liberty and hard work out on the firing line. I only have a few pictures including this group photo taken on Sunday.

Great Job!!!

FANTASTIC!  Colonial Shooter has got to be grinning.  I know I am.  Did not get to shake everyone's hands, but with those great photos I feel that I did.  It was a real treat to see old friends and new ones.  Congrats to each one of you, shooters and cadre, especially for another SAFE and fabulous event. 
Thanks to all for coming from all over this great nation (even Panama, OK), for the hard work and great shooting and for your great attitudes.  You are true Patriots.  Jacob, cleaning the KD paves the way!  As does your BlueHat, Kai.  Special thanks to those who stepped-up. And I thought Sam was crazy...  Look forward to seeing ALL of you next year.
LIBERTAS!

Looks like an amazing event as always!  I hope to make it out next year for sure!

Thank you Captain for pursuing the organization of this long standing event! 
Great Job by all shooters in every weather condition Wyoming threw at you at 7,220' of elevation. 
Thank you to our new Orange and Blue hats, welcome to the Cadre. 
See you all again in LARAMIE 6-26!!! 

In Liberty!
