Merry Christmas to my old stomping grounds of the Northwest!

I hope there are plenty of Appleseed events for 2011 in the Vancouver/Portland region for my daughter and her beau to be introduced to the Trail.  I'm putting her through an accelerated Winterseed this weekend at my Minnesota home, and she is very eager to learn, having never fired a gun before today.

Figured you folks would appreciate her first Redcoat, with the first 13 rounds she has ever put downrange (in the blowing snow at 25 degrees):

Nice Christmas Day and present. Looks like the last four bullets fell off the target to not getting her natural point of aim on the smaller targets to the left, she grouped well on the first three.  O0

There  have been rumors of Appleseeds in 2011 in Washington and Oregon, for sure there are some in Idaho after the thaw. She will be welcome at all and any of them. Nothing like showing her father up one day on the range. **)
... to catch the fire in another American for sharing the skills and our heritage to our posterity. Maybe my perfect shots will be made by those I met along the trials and trails of Appleseed. I know that America is a nation of Riflemen.

I taught her safety rules, safe rifle and steady hold factors Christmas Eve, but hadn't started the slings or NPOA POI yet.  She shot the redcoat from a solid prone position without using the sling.   ..:..

She showed up my ex by simplying getting off the couch and picking up a rifle.  I doubt he knows which end is the muzzle.  **)

Congratulations on your first Red Coat.  That's good shooting Tex, er Way Northern Tex!  O0 That target is what I see many "experienced" shooters produce after having shot all their life, me included on my first Red Coat.

I envision a new Rifleman (and an IIT?) in the very near future!   ^:)^
