What an AWESOME weekend for Appleseed!
The Blue Mountain Sportsmans Center, welcomed Appleseed for the third of four events they are sponsering, for 2014. Their next Appleseed will be October 11-12, 2014.
Thirteen students joined us on the line Saturday, friends and familys, all came together for a Great Event!
Westchester is a challenging event, The time monkey is breathing down you neck all day, and there is no time to waste, you basically stomp down the gas pedal and hang on

. Students took this in stride, Everyone stayed focused with the task at hand. Marksmanship and History alike, students listened and learned, questions were asked and answered, and everyone including my instructor team had a Great time!

Sunday brought eleven students back to the line. After some History and Dude's KD presentation we were on Firing Line and awaiting 11:00 to begin shooting. Morning Red Coats and then right into sighters and drills, shooters anxiously awaited the first AQT of the day. And then the Grind began!
Two QDAQTs were followed up by Four rapid fire AQTs.
Significant improvment was shown by all the students, groups got smaller and scores went higher!
Congratulations to our New and Repeat Rifleman

Rick, a Repeat Rifleman scored a 215 with a lever action, and then followed it up with a 213

Dmitry a New Rifleman scored a 224,213, and a 215

Congratulations to our Newest Young Patriot Sarin

, Great Job!
Many of our students are knocking at the door, with scores approching, that elusive 210. All I can say is practice, practice, practice, dry fire , work on your steady hold factors, six steps, check and repair your equipment(Grumpy says locktite is your friend)

Last but not least I would like yo thank my team of Instructors, Dude, longrange, and kimbers

, You guys did an Awesome Job! From setting up to cleaning up and everything in between!
I Hope to see you all again real soon!
