Well, Michigan's first Adaptiveseed was a success!  We had 7 shooters spend a very full day with us.  Positive attitudes were abundant, and everyone had a ball.  Dale, thanks for bringing your son and his two friends.  It makes proud and hopeful about our future seeing such fine young men.  Brett - congrats on the 206.  I hope to see you soon to hand you that Rifleman patch when you get over 210.  Isaiah and Carson - you guys were great all day and showed persistence.  You'll be knocking on the door soon enough. 

Thanks to Rodney, Marvin and Dan - you all showed great improvement.  Rodney - you had some very tight groups.  Nice shooting!

Many thanks to all of the instructors that made it out.  We had a 1 to 1 ratio, and the students benefited greatly from your guidance.  Thanks to Caliper, Mac, Hammer, number6, ICEMAN, Gibson and Madhatter.  That's a ton of Appleseed experience present, and it showed.

Special thanks to Harry for bringing his adaptive shooting rig, and for his guidance regarding the positional shooting for our students.

On with some pics:

My brother was in a wheelchair (polio). He has been gone for 30 years now. He would have LOVED this! He used to clean up at the county fair with the shooting galleries; does anyone remember those?
