CMP\NRA My First Match

I have gone to a few AppleSeeds over the last year.  I have never really shot rifles before that.  I loved the history, loved the rifleman training....loved it all.  The commitment of the instructors is inspiring.

Anyways...I used AppleSeed to purchase a M1 from the CMP (I was sold when Sadman let me shoot his on my first trip to the KD Range).  I decided to give a CMP\NRA High Power rifle Match a try.  It was a fantastic event.  I used everything I learned at the AppleSeeds and managed to receive:

1st place as New Shooter,
1st place in M1 Garand division.

All thanks to the instructors at AppleSeed.  You have created quite the hobby for me.  I now enjoy MilSurp firearms, really enjoy shooting and have a lifelong mission of continuing to learn about freedom and pass on its TRUE message.

Thank you AppleSeed (Lawrence, Sadman, Painkiller, Kardiakid and other countless volunteers)...
