It was raining hats in Watervliet MI last weekend!  3 great friends to Appleseed took up the cause by agreeing to become IITs! 

beeker has been to approximately 1 billion Appleseeds, has scored and rescored Rifleman and in a moment of weakness, agreed to take a hat. 

merlin33 first was with us on Patriot's Day and jumped in with both feet.  He took a Blue Hat this weekend, promptly scored RM and we were happy to offer him a hat.

tigger first came to an Appleseed in the fall of 2014.  He has since been to our Winterseed/KD/shoot in 2-1/2 feet of snow event and after scoring RM this weekend, took a hat while contemplating the intricacies of smacking 4MOA sized steel on the KD line.

My pix aren't perfect this time (bad Shoot Boss) but the first picture is beeker requal-ing as a Rifleman, and the second is merlin33 getting RM in his soon-to-be-different-color hat, and the 3rd is tigger.

Join me in welcoming them to the Michigan Instructor cadre!

The West Side ROCKS!!1!!!!!1!

Welcome aboard, gentlemen. Glad to have the help!
Can't we all just agree to disagree in a civil fashion while the planet's last, fading hope of liberty and prosperity gets snuffed out?

No. We can't.

Holy Moly, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a new orange hat on the west side.

Congrats and welcome aboard

Gentlemen, I enjoyed working with you as students, I was proud to see you persevere and earn your Rifleman patch, and I'm thrilled that you've stepped up and taken hats.  I look forward to working with you!   O0
