Way to go Broken Bow!!! What a weekend!

We had a beautiful weekend for Appleseed! The weather was awesome with sunny sky's and a lite breeze on Sat. With Sunday the same with a little more wind.

Seemed like everyone really enjoyed them selves. All who attended showed lots of improvement with their marksmanship. And walked away with a good idea of what it may have been like to stand their ground with a musket. Thanks to Flint Smoothbore. We had the opportunity to test out a .62 cal musket on a KD target posted at 100 yds. Needless to say this is way beyond the capability of the firearm. But a modern rifle, No problemo.

We even had a rifleman score produced shooting a 221. Way to go Doc!

Nebraska even acquired a new Instructor In Training! Thanks for stepping up Jim!


We also set a new record this weekend for the furthest traveling shooter at a NE Appledeed! Jeff came out to pay us a visit from California!! Holy cow now that's dedication!


What a weekend!

It was a good turnout and  a great weekend  (as far as October in Nebraska goes).  You can always tell a Nebraskan, slight breeze= minimum 10 mph full value wind.  We had to not only stake all targets but weight some of them to keep them from blowing around.  It was a good week end,  I think all participants had a great time and improved immensely as the weekend progressed .  Thank You to all participants, without you it would not have been a good weekend.

Thanks to all the instructors for all their time & effort- not just last weekend in Broken Bow, but for all the hours (and money!) they spend on Appleseed.  Each event I attend I learn a more marksmanship and a LOT more history. I'm glad to help any way I can, especially if it involves muzzleloaders!

How about a flintlock-only Appleseed? I'm thinking  each AQT would only take an hour or so...

'Rapid' AQT, 40 rounds, 3 rounds per minute??

The extra time is for the smoke to clear between shots!

You'all will need to get a younger IIT for the flintlock shoot.  I would go to sleep

Good shoot, good shooters. Thanks Doc for the opportunity to shoot that flintlock. you don't know the true meaning of followthrough until you fire one of those. Another great Broken Bow appleseed as always.

Hate to be the one to break it to you Necede, but black powder is addictive...
