What an exciting time we had at Wears Valley Ranch! With 12 eager people, ages 11-65, representing 5 different states (TN, KY, GA, NC, IL), we started the day with the threat of rain all day. However, except for a short drizzle early on, we were able to enjoy the day and stay dry. This clinic provided an opportunity for our newer IITs to continue developing their instructor skills, and for new and experienced shooters alike to improve their marksmanship. Steve again displayed his marksmanship skills with scores of 233 and 231. Keep working at it, Steve. I know that distinguished patch is just around the corner for you! John and Mike also confirmed their skills by shooting 222 and 218, respectively. Huzzah! Noah, Daniel and Michael, thanks for your attention and taking time from you camping trip in the Smoky's to join us. Safe travels back to Chicago. Thanks to all the instructors for taking the time to apply your equipment skills to make the needed adjustments to shooter's gear for them to work properly (scopes, loose screws). Stockbreaker, great job on the Second Strike. Hannah and Marcus, it was a joy to have you both with us. Marcus, thanks for your one-on-one coaching of your niece. Hannah, you improved so much during the day!
We hope to see all of you again soon at other Appleseed clinics! Come again, Anderson, and clear that redcoat target next time.
Instructors, please post some of the many photos you took.

Raquel caught "Appleseed Fever" after this event.  I knew I picked a good one to bring her to.  I took some pictures.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1775

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."  George Washington 1790

"[T]o preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…"
- Richard Henry Lee, Declaration Signer

Practice every time you get a chance. - Bill Monroe
