Skowhegan, Maine July 23-24 2022

[BD]

We had a fine group of Americans at what has become the annual "hot weather" shoot in Maine.
Late July seems be when the temps peak.  Everyone powered thru and improved their shooting as the weekend progressed.

Everyone, instructors and students, camped at the range. It helped turn the weekend into one cohesive event.
Pro tip - the trains start coming by at around 0500 on Sunday mornings.

Our three young patriots (10-12 years) were safe and effective, even sniffing around riflemen scores.

One shooter at his first Appleseed took the instruction and ran with it, posting four rifleman scores with a high of 236.....

Everyone heard the history and participated with questions and observations.
All in all, a great event.

Spirit of the Rifleman
A very enthusiastic youth was on the line!




Markmanship
Congrats to Will on making rifleman!

Two of the youth qualified as marksmen and sharpshooter.  The sharpshooter scored 207 twice.  Almost!




Setting up for Morgan's Shingle
A drone was used to measure off distance.  That shingle is a small target at 125 yards!




Range Food!
Thanks for the range cooked food!  What an event!

Shooters and Appleseed volunteers camping out at the range for a weekend of heritage and marksmanship sounds incredible!
