Harvard MA April 19 2014 AAR

[Lima Tango]

What a great day this was! Perfect weather for a Appleseed on the 239th anniversary of the battles at Lexington and Concord! We had 41 shooters come out to make 2 tightly packed lines at Harvard attempt 2 squeeze in 16 hours of the Appleseed into only 8 and boy did they do a fantastic job!

We had shooters of all skill levels take on our famous Red Coat target and only 24 were able to go 3 for 3 on the "100 yard" target! It fell off from there, however we did have 8 hit the Murphy Square right off the bat.

As the day went on, our student shooters practiced their skills and listened to the 3 strikes. By the end of the day we had 40 or so very well flogged shooters, with 4 making that Rifleman mark. There were also a group of shooters with scores in that 190 range who probably would hit the mark if we were able to have a 2nd day of shooting.

I would like to take a moment to thank all of the shooters who showed up and gave maximum effort; the Appleseed staff of Red and Orange hats who did a great job to make a fun, safe, and informative event; our good friends at New England Shooters Warehouse of Tewksbury who promoted the event extensively in their shop and even donated a giftcard to a shooter who cleaned the afternoon Red Coat; and last but not least, our good friend Amanda Geist, who did some photography for us that morning!

A tip of the hat to you LT for running such a well-coordinated and well-attended event.  After a review of the AARs at other events, it seems that attendance at the Harvard
event easily surpassed any and all others..not to brag too much!   Not bad for a state generally  known for NOT being shooter friendly.. This shouldn't be a surprise though. 
Here in MA we do have a proven history of getting the word out for an April 19th event!   

Thanks to Northeast Shooters Warehouse for getting the word out!

Thanks to Amanda Geist for shooting the awesome photos..and we hope to see her come back and shoot a rifleman score..

Thanks to the instructors that came out.  You folks are a great team to work with and to learn from.

Thanks to all the shooters that came out! You folks are the best!
