WOW!!! What an AWESOME Weekend for Appleseed! :)

  SaraSpa Rod and Gun Club Graciously, welcomed Appleseed to their club for the second time in 2013, this is a Great Range For AppleSeed Events. Thank You To the membership, and Their President Gerard, who joined us on the line, Thank You For your Support.

  Saratoga has always been a special event and this was no different .  Being held on the Anniversary Weekend of the Battles of Saratoga,September 19 to October 7, 1777, gave this event even more meaning, to my fellow Patriots.

This event brought together may Previous Appleseeders and many First Timers. All seeking to improve, their skills, Some seeking Their First Rifleman Score, and Some to to take it beyond.

Twelve seperate families came to the line this Weekend! Fathers, Mothers, Sisters, Brothers, Husbands, Wives, Sons and Daughters, Coworkers and Friends all came together to to form an Appleseed! O0

Students came from near and far, (some as far away as Westchester County and also Northern Vermont) :bow:     Gunny even made it on crutches , altho I think Gary may have drove some of the way ::)

One of Our Repeat Families brought a new member, Welcome Josh! I know I will be seeing you again soon. Dan, Thank You for the additional supervision, and I think  your ammo budget is about to take another jump.

  Maisey did an Awesome Job presenting the History of the Battles of Saratoga. This was Great to hear on the anniversary of The Battles. O0 This Is Our Heratage!  After "volunteering" to Read this part of History, Maisey decided to take the next step, and She became our Newest Blue Hat! O0.
Thank You Maisey, I look foward to working with you!

Speaking of Blue Hats  ;) Keith1 ,accepted a New Hat Saturday Morning. Keith has been helping out unoffically for quite a few events now, but now its Official  O0. That Hat looks Great!

Sunday morning Clare started the day by "volunteering" to present The Third Strike, an account
Of the events of April 19,1775 from a British Officer(This was Read Using A British Accent).
O0 Awesome job Clare! O0
This Weekend Produced Rifleman O0 O0 O0

We had five Rifleman ReQualify, Dan with a Bolt action scored (243), Keith2 (238), Stu(222),TC(236),and Casie(220), Casie also cleared the final Red Coat! O0

We had five New Rifleman ,Naomi(213), Sam(229), Adam(226), Jeff(212) and Brian(211) O0

We had Three new Young Patriots amongst us Josh, Hannah,and Willow. You are Our Future,  O0
Thank You

On Sunday some students headed to the 100 and 200, to practice and reinforce their skills. While others continued to grind out AQTs.

As the day continued on Marksmanship continued to Improve !

I would like to Thank our Shootboss, and my mentor R1SGx2. I would also like to thank my fellow Instructors, Another D.O.M, Smurf, sureshot, Gregch44, Nortatoga,CAPshooter and keith1.

At the Appleseed Event hosted by the SaraSpa Rod and Gun Club, a diverse group of strangers came together on a Saturday morning.

On Sunday evening, a close knit group of AMERICAN RIFLEMEN made their way home with a greater love and appreciation of their fellow countrymen.

Hi All,

Thanks from all the Loucks for a great weekend. Always have so much fun and learn so much. Josh had fun and is already asking when we can go again.   ^:)^ ^:)^

Thanks Gregch44 for showing me how to take apart and clean my rifle.  :bow:       Now I have to try it by myself.  ???

So excited in becoming a blue hat.  ^:)^

What a great weekend to spend with such nice people wanting to learn, :bow:
did I mention the Anniversary of the Battles of Saratoga?  :---  :---  :~ And the start
of fall.

It was great watching all those continuing on the Appleseed Trail, either
as shooters or cadre. What better place to be on such a beautiful fall weekend.
There is so much to talk about with so many, watching those passing their
own personal set best, and those proving to themselves they can do it.
You guys know who you are, and you didn't think I noticed... O0 O0

And the great distances traveled to join us, Northern Vermont to NYC
responded to the call,,,, This is a Great America,,, ^:)^

Thank you to the participants and instructors for making this such a
great for all,,, O0 :bow: O0 :bow:

Thank you,

Great job, everyone!

Growing old is mandatory; Growing up is optional!  :)

Marksmanship can be taught and learned,
but the motivation has to be inspired for the
people to become involved.
How many have you inspired that became involved?
