It couldn't get more American than 12 people getting out of their warm beds on a morning chilled at -6 degrees, to make themselves better!
Better Americans today, better America tomorrow!!
The Bald Eagle soaring overhead just before lunch on Sunday really put an exclamation point on the whole weekend. I was too Awestruck to get a photo of the eagle, but the image will remain in my mind for years to come.
This was a wonderful way to start the Appleseed year, another thanks to RCLRC for having us, and a big thank you to all the folks who woke up early, braved the cold and started their journey to becoming rifleman. How far you travel on that journey is up to you. It doesn't have to end at the patch ... Those that earned their patch this weekend, congratulations!! Send me a PM when you realize that you can be an asset to this program, and help teach what you learned to other Americans! Those that havent earned it, KEEP AT IT!!! you don't become an expert at ANYTHING in 20 hours. Practice. Read over the material. Get down in your seated positions in your living room (with an unloaded rifle, of course!), get comfortable with each position and the sling usage. Go over those 6 steps to firing the shot, and it will all come together!
Hope to see you in April with a friend or 2
