Romeo's Hero

Hey All -- Sorry about the tardiness of my posting, we are in the process of moving and ATT hasn't hooked up the DSL yet.

We had another great Appleseed at FRCP a number of new Appleseeders as well as a few returning ones.

Great News:

We added one to the ranks of Riflemen - Mark congratulations
&
We added one to the ranks of IITs - BP welcome to the team of Appleseed instructors (also congratulations on making the rifleman score BOTH right handed and left handed - yes folks he is a double rifleman)

More to come when I have better internet - in the meantime we would love to hear from everyone that attended.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

Thanks instructors, it was a good weekend.
I'm glad to join the ranks of orange hats, and aspire for that red hat!

Very proud of that left handed 220 I got- It's not too hard to shoot weak side, just apply the fundamentals!  ;)

I liked the new COF addition of the tank, where we had to shoot out the small star. Didn't exactly hit it a lot, but things like that are good to include on Sunday's schedule.

What a wonderful weekend this turned out to be.  :)
The weather was hot, but not too hot. We had lots of eager shooters on Sat A.M. Things seemed to be going slowly at first, $$-0 but Juliette got out her whip, ~~:) (figureatively speaking, of course) picked up the pace and got the line back on schedule. The young people we had on the line were great and all progressed nicely. :cool2: We had young'ns Ian and Ben on Sat., O0 and then there were Marlon and Jason who persisted both days. O0 O0 Jason had a bolt action .22, a Call of Duty t-shirt, and an attitude that didn't quit! Despite being handicapped by an overly long stock, which he had to overcome by removing the rifle from his shoulder and racking the bolt every time he managed to get good with that thing!  :--- On Sun. afternoon we put up some ballons for the kids to shoot at. Jason got 3 for 3 shifting NPOA every time.
As Juliette mention earlier, Mark shot a rifleman score on Sat. Way 2 go Mark! O0 We also had returning rifleman BP (beep?) come back to shoot a rifleman's score lefthanded and he did! That's the kind of ambidextrious skills that count. A man who really knows what he's about, especially after he took up the orange hat of destiny.  ^:)^ It was great working with some of the Cali instructors I've not had the pleasure of meeting before, - CHSR and Furrowfoot. O0 I was also glad to work with DoubleD and Romeo's Hero again. ;) It was just a year and a half ago when they shot their rifleman scores together at the innaugural event at this same range. Hope you guys get all settled into your new home soon.
