Wow, what a weekend. :D..hopefully, the final Winterseed weekend til at least Dec! Weather was mid 30's, with a steady cold breeze, and mostly overcast Sat..more of the same, with snow showers early in the AM Sunday.. While borderline, it was decided that the shoot would qualify for the Winterseed patch...It's a good thing too, as we handed out a LOT of Rifleman patches, to those who earned them..

Excellent group of students... Sat., 4 out of 13 students earned their Rifleman patch.. Sunday another 4 made it... So out of 14 individuals, over half joined the Rifleman ranks. ::).... And it gets better..
One Sunday only students' LOW score was a 240..followed by scores of 247 twice :---! Another student managed 5 rifleman scores including a 240 & 241!  Several others managed 230's and 220's repeatedly... Must be something in the water...  #)

Thanks for Sashok.Privetov and Handyman for their assistance in instructing, and a special thanks to Jerry for arranging the shoot at the Boy Scout camp location.. I hope this leads to more shoots in this neck of the woods.  BeSwift

Just good ol' country boys I guess, clinging to our guns and Bibles I guess!!! ;)

Brian, Alex and Bob---- I just can't say enough about this weekend!!!  The instruction couldn't have been any better--- TOP NOTCH all the way!!!  The Appleseed Project is a program that is destined for greatness, without a doubt!  The untold history of our founding fathers that we learned a little about today and yesterday is inspiring, to say the least.

Folks if you have ever thought about taking an Appleseed, quit thinking and do it!!!  What are you waiting for?  Bring a friend, or better yet your son, daughter or spouse!  You will not regret this-- the value is fantastic( phenomenal!!!) and the experience is priceless!  I will be back for sure!!  This weekend is without a doubt the 'highlight' of my shooting 'career', but with the instruction I learned, things will get even better now...

Thanks again for making me an incredibly better shooter in such a short period of time!  I had a blast, if you couldn't tell!!

Hope to see you all again soon!

Sorry to get to this thread so late but I didn't know this forum existed.

I was the guy at the far end with my friend and his son. I think they enjoyed it too even though they were having some problems with their rifles (mag malfunctions and bad sights). I had the gsg-522 with the scope.

I was able to attend only on Saturday but had a great time and feel like I learned a lot. You guys provided a great atmosphere for learning and I was happy to see the emphasis on safety. All 3 instructors did a great job. I was also glad you guys didn't give me a hard time about that prone position killing my back. What did I miss on Sunday?

I'd like to attend more of these in the future to hone my skills.

Sashok.privetov, anyone ever tell you that you look like a very young Bruce Willis? :)

Thanks,

Mike

No, I must admit this is a first...  Now, why can't I have pretty girls telling me this?  Sorry, you're not my type...    >:D   Besides, DADT is still in effect.   ++)
