Another outstanding Appleseed in Virginia.
Saturday started out a little chilly, but warmed up nicely and Sunday was about perfect.

We had a great group that produced six riflemen - five of them new riflemen.
Everybody - without exception - improved in marksmanship and learned some history along the way.
Our favorite Dangerous Cook gave a stirring rendition of the events of April 19.
It was a pleasure for all the instructors to spend a fine weekend with good people.

I had a great time at my first appleseed there this weekend. Thanks, BD and everyone else for a great weekend. I'll be back for sure, and I'll bring more friends.

note - when planning to camp in temperatures below 30, don't forget your coat! :slap:

Sounds like a great AS. Awesome effort guys and gals. Congrats Dangerous Cook on another progress point. Sorely miss being there. Pun intended. :wb:

If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget you were our countrymen.
