I will get this started, and save a place for BaldDragn to add to.

The group of shooters were amazing. They ventured out here in the heat ( which was unseasonably cooler than the norm) They had a teachable attitude, and there were no complaints. Met some new folks who heard from us by way of Cal Guns. Nick, Nathan, nice to meet you! Chad, I am grateful for your help to me. Sherman brought out his grandson Joe, along with his fully stocked Red Cross truck. Thank you Sherman! It was good to talk to you while you admired your grandson's skill level improving.

Karla, and her son Ian were returnees. She brought her husband Kyle, and daughter Camille with her as well. Although husband and daughter did not return on Sunday, both Karla and Ian did. And Ian was so very close to getting his Rifleman.

We also had Scott return from last month, and he gave it his all, and not one complaint about the heat. I was told it was me that has issues with the heat, that the shooters were fine.

We had 11 shooters on Saturday and 8 on Sunday.

As usual, everyone had a blast, history was grand. When I can get the camera to cooperate, I will download the pictures. I know Pinbreaker took some as well.

Thank you to BaldDragn, Pinbreaker, Hambone, and Ginger for coming out to teach this Appleseed. We deeply appreciate what you do.

Looking forward to the August 20-21 Seed.

Warmly ( and how )

I am brand new to this forum and so excited to see that there are events so close to home. I would really like to get my son involved in this program (and away from the computer for a bit), so we are going to see if we might make it to the August Seed. I am looking forward to seeing your pictures.

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.
