Day one of the Explorer Crew 7 is in  the books. I saw alot of hard work,today. I would like to thank the instructors Lawrence (SBIT), hawkeye, lawman, and "the kid,. A visit from J-hawk who helped Lawrence get the range ready yesterdayhelp us to get some more photos of the explorers. We broke for dinner around 5 pm and met at 7 to cover review (safety rules, six steps, npoa) and third strike.

I really want to thank Ishy, TruTenacity, Western Rose, Dinky and Miki for their ideas to help this middleaged man run a better shoot for 20 teenage girls. They really like the Nacy Hart story that Ishy put together and I think that Tru-Tenacity's 'patriots in Petticoats" will be a big hit tomorrow.

There have been some challenges with 20 people on the line who have never fired a rifle and didn't know the first thing about them before Lawrence did a familiarization class on Wednesday. I think that I speak for all of the instructors when I say that this was a GOOD day of Appleseeding.

More in the AAR (including photos) later in the week (too many bugs on the screen to write).
