How's that for an attention-grabbing headline???  And it's true!
On October 19th, I participated in the Louisiana State Highpower Rifle Championship.  I was there to learn and have fun, as I knew that I would be outshot by the very serious and experienced competition.  Despite my desire to generally stay out of the way and my natural disposition against standing out in a crowd, I appeared in my Appleseed Promo Shirt.  It drew lots of attention.  Even the Match Director commented that it was a "great looking shirt!"  Photo here:

And, no, I didn't finish last.  And, yes, what we teach really works.  With no experience with iron sights beyond 300 yards (and very little of that), my first shot at 600 hit the X ring.  Pretty cool!

Our shirts made their debut at our last Scoutseed in Raton, NM. They look very professional and are an absolute tribute to the heritage and marksmanship of our mission.
They are on the same playing field as other shirts worn by many professional operators and instructors.
We got tons of compliments and other instructors were envious. ;)
Thank slim for heading up the task force on these! O0

Excellent promotion and shooting.  I have found that both get easier the more you get out and do them.

All Hail the MOHAWK!  ;) for the great shirts.
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."
---Robert Anson Heinlein
