Pinch hitting for SB Spanner, who relayed directly to Burlington Flats RBC from Lake George.  Am sure more will be heard once he again attains cyber-range...
and (will only say this once) sorry for the delay in posting...

  Was an outstanding weekend a few miles south of Lake George at Dunham's Bay Fish and Game Club, where Appleseed has been a significant number of times, including an IBC
in March of 2010 courtesy of crak, kDan, Buzzworth, and Firewall99, a crew that has since resulted in numerous Red and Green Hats (you know who you are).

   Instructors:  Spanner-SB, RHs -  R1sgx2/Stick Mark and your humble servant, nyrasgt/madMark, and closing out the three Markeros, State Coord Mark -  AnotherDOM,
as well as one of NY's newest IITs, gregch44 (probably mangled forum name), Greg Chaplain, with his carpenter's tools and Really Big Truck.
  Saturday:  seven attendees, including several returnees to Dunham's Bay's hospitable outdoor range (50 covered firing points) and clubhouse.  Other Saturday shooters included Joe, a paramedic, and his son Alex.
  Sunday, again a total of seven, including two returnees from Saturday, Joe and either Ken or Dave (sorry, guys), as well as a family of four (Michael, Julie, Sierra, and Andrew) and a wife (Julie #2) being given Appleseed for Mother's Day by her husband, Zack.  They (Zack and J2) were babbysitter-limited, arriving around 1pm and having to leave early - but they'll be back..
  The five newbies Sunday gave Greg an interesting challenge for his first Line Boss experience - since the line had to be split into three segments:  the two, second-day, second AS shooters, the family of four who had the benefit of the morning's re-briefing, and Julie 2, who was starting from scratch after lunch.  Everyone persisted, and Spanner  had ADOM tasked with getting Julie up to speed in an extremely limited time.

  Some data:  Sat AM Redcoat:  100 = 1, 200 = 1, 300 = 0, 400 = 0, Head shot = 0.
                      Sat PM Redcoat:  100 = 3, 200 = 2, 300 = 1, 400 = 0, Head shot = 0.
                      Sun AM Redcoat:  100 = 3, 200 = 2, 300 = 1, 400 = 0, HS = 2
                      Sun PM Redcoat:  100 = 2, 200 = 3, 300 = 0, 400 = 0,  HS = 1

  In the process Saturday, intermittent rain showers kept things interesting; first Saturday shot went off @ 10:05am, leading to squares and talking targets.

    I will return and add a Part II to this segmented AAR.

"Aim for a high mark and you will hit it.  No, not the first time, nor the second, and maybe not the third. But keep on aiming and keep on shooting,
for only practice will make you perfect.
Finally, you will hit the bulls-eye of success."
