Proctor, VT Appleseed 27/28 September 2008

[Nickle]

Well, I'll get this kicked off, but I won't be stealing the Shoot Bosses thunder.

The quick story?

15 shooters, both days, for 17 total. 4 Riflemen produced, 3 IIT's recruited.

Pictures to follow.

Edited to add - There are some comments and pics at the NES forum.

What a great weekend!!   

Still a cook, but I'm sneaking up on a better score.  Next time......

We lucked out on weather, only had a couple minutes of rain Sunday, instead of the downpour forecast for the whole weekend.  Nice range, excellent instructors, met some great people.  I don't have any pictures, too busy shooting & loading & shooting & loading........

Now I know what I need to work on to improve my shooting, I can get some useful practice in.  Tried shooting those positions and targets before going to Proctor, but I may have been reinforcing bad habits.  I need to work on equipment prep, as well.  My rifle was not as ready as I thought it was for this, and while malfunction drills are good to know, it does take away from concentrating on shooting.  I'll do better next time.  Sadly, that might not be Winchendon in October - the family was making plans that might make it impossible for me to go.   

Thanks to all who made this possible - I had a great time!

Yet another OUTSTANDING Appleseed event

We had some new to shooting shooters who are starting off with correct instruction
They may have a long way to go and it will be on the right path I hope they stick to it, buy a good training rifle and get off the couch and go to a range

If I had the kick start they just got, well...

In deed the weather "experts" missed the mark (good for us)

Proctor is a nice range with hungry mosquitoes and this weekend hungry for knowledge and skill shooters too

Met new people and saw some familiar faces

Again worked with an OUTSTANDING CREW it is my honor to know and work with such people
While waking up others of like ilk. (three new IITs) 

All who attended they know very well what they are about.


Good time was had by all 

HUZZAH, HUZZAH, HUZZAH!!!!!!!!

WELL DONE...(again)
