The Izzac Walton League of America & Marty is a great host who has scheduled Project Appleseed every January.  While we didn't get any snow, the 14-students got to experience Stafford's cold, rain and mud!  Marty was able to keep the fire burning both days so shooters could warmup during breaks.

While I was only there for Saturday, it was great to share the range with these students. I always seem to smile more when families show up.

While a bit chilly and muddy, everyone kept a positive attitude.  O0

Stay vigilant,
