We had a cool start on Saturday morning. The breeze certainly encouraged 25 enthusiastic Attendees and the Instructors to keep moving!

Here are few photos and cannot wait to see the moments that everyone else captured.

Tell us about your weekend and hope to see you at another Project Appleseed.


Saturday AM RedCoat :

Natalie you did an excellent job. Look up Keep_Smilin_TX and meet up at another shoot! Great team.



This could have been 50 years ago. Enjoyed learning from you Wesley and watching you through the Weekend.



Dad - now that you've got that patch, encourage safe dry firing. Brandon and Natalie - 170's and 190's - rockin' it. Jodi - The groups are there, just takes time.

What a great group of shooters! Saturday was slightly windy, however the temperature was awesome.  All the shooter were doing great and they absorbed all the instruction very well. On Sunday everyone improved greatly and worked the AQT grind well. I would like to thank all the shooter's for coming out, and I hope to see you again.

See you all again soon.

KD Cat.

This weekend to put it rather simply AWESOME!!!! I really mean it. Not only did I have the chance to work with some willing and attentive students, but some pretty cool Instructors as well. This has probably been the most studious group of shooters I have worked with so far. I hope to see all of the attendees at Appleseeds next year.

How did Sunday go? Wish I could have been there.

We had a great time this weekend.  This was our first Appleseed, but it won't be our last.  The marksmanship instruction was just as excellent as the history lessons.  Thanks to all of the instructors for their effort and dedication.  You taught us a lot!  Looking forward to seeing you again.

Sun, fresh breeze, history, new riflemen, a new GREEN HAT, new friends, strengthening of old friendships, what more could one ask?  Without a doubt a fabulous weekend!  Truly a family affair with several generations all learning together as well as teaching together.  It is a real, live Norman Rockwell painting of Community and Americana. A great weekend.  Cannot wait until we can do it again!
So you're still a cook?  Hey, at least you are here, which is a whole lot better than everyone else not here.  PERSEVERE!  You WILL  succeed!

I enjoyed the weekend immensely, and I learned a tremendous amount about how to shoot a rifle.  The first thing I need to do now is rework my rifle to get it to fit.  We really had an excellent group of instructors.  As it is with many things, it is not complicated.  You continually worked with our basics, and it was reflected in continually improving scores.

This was my first rodeo with a rifle.  I will be back again.  Next time I will be better prepared.  I will have all of the equipment I need, I will have my rifle fitted, and I will be able to practice a bit more ahead of time.

I could not figure out how to get one of the emoticons into my message.  The little guy to the left of the girl with the red on her head about seven from the right end has to be modeled on KD Cat.  You go girl.
