Print some off and us it as an NPOA shift drill sometime this weekend.  Be sure to get a good picture of everyone and their target.  Maybe WI will win the Rifle.

Good idea OG  :--- If F+S get lots of AS targets , maybe they will even do an article on AS. O0
Bet Illinois just took your modest suggestion as a challenge to wim the rifle . If this occurs they are wide open for FOID card jokes **)

Nice job on the pictures, D-Fly!Here are some more. We had 1 Rifleman after a hot and sticky weekend. Congratulations Paul! O0 Several students were getting close. I was really impressed with the 4 young fellas that  came with Deacon. They were shooting real good AQT's and groups.

What great pictures!

We had a great weekend with some real Americans!  :bow:

Paul B.  got his Riflemans patch with precision and focus.  Great job Paul! O0

Janelle cleaned the Redcoat late Sunday afternoon....way to persist Janelle. ^:)^

We had a lot of young shooters really work very hard this weekend.  Our Posterity is among us!  William, Justin, Kassy, Jerrod, Devon, Chris, Mikey, Tim, Brianna all had a great time and really did spend quality time away from TV, X-box, Wii, and their DVD's!

Many other shooters had measurable improvement....and the history was well received.  

Also,  Thanks to Martin, Mogget, Ladyvetch, Mr. Natural, and Dragonfly for another successful Wisconsin Appleseed!

After-After Action Report - training put to good use!  O0

Having lost hundreds of apples to poaching crows (they land on the top apples and take a deep bite or two, and then do the same on another, and another...) I picked one off at 40yds with my LTR and a single hollow point.  I think it surprised me as much as the crow!

Thanks, all
I figured that I'd spent the morning shooting at postage stamps at 25m, so why not try for a nine inch bird at 40? still bigger than 4MOA... I'll have to try it again, but for some reason they haven't come back yet... ;D

OG - we met at LaCrosse a few months back, and yes, I hope me meet again on the trail.
