PS-Plenty of bunk space at Taylor and Dicey's. Just make a reservation in advance so the hostess/host can prep for you.

BugginOut

It was a great time!  Some of the most persistent shooters i have ever seen.  I learned a lot this weekend. We have the best shooters in the country.  A .22 with a match chamber is only fun for couple hundred rounds and then it becomes practice for fixing problems... Finally, don't shoot a 10/22 with the mag out and anything under the mag well that you don't want burning powder on.  Being a blowback gun, a lot of burning powder comes out of the mag well.
Plan A = saving the country.

This only becomes a bigger problem with larger calibers.  Never fire a mag fed rifle without the mag.

Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value."   T Paine

Also, congratulations to the rifleman that requalified   Alex (243),   Nate  (240), Tony (225), and Robb (216).

Awesome shoot guys and gals!  I get a little chuckle when I look at the pics and realize that I can name just about every face in them.  Appleseeds are a great time and I always make lots of new friends... even way over on the other side of the state.  Congrats Tony and Alex on your scores and welcome to the trail as Orange Hats!

Our shoots are awesome because we have such great instructors.  I love the atmosphere and the company every time I go. Looking forward to Boyceville and the next three shoots. Would love to get up north too. Hope to see you all there. CAL
