THANK YOU! To Tusco Rifle Club for opening there wonderful club to Appleseed.

Four Americans came out to learn more about their heritage and marksmanship.

One new Rifleman was forged and then improved upon his score.  ChipnDale came out to polish his skills Sunday and requalified.

More to come.

Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

Hey Chuck,  This is Frank.   I have the recoil pad of yours from the event.  Thanks for letting me borrow it.  I didn't mean to forget to give it back.  I can send it to you in the mail or bring it to the November KD shoot.  Let me know.

Thanks for running the shoot.  It's always a good time.

Shortly after lunch, a storm rolled through, wiping the targets off the line. Fortunately, the clips survived...

Great time at Tusco rifle club in New Philadelphia this weekend! Sunshine all weekend (well, some was a little more liquid, not like the rain was horizontal and soaked a covered firing line  ;D )! Thanks to John, Frank, and Lisa for coming out, it was a pleasure working with each of you.

Nashville,

This is my favorite club I have been to!  The club treats us very well and they are FRIENDLY.

We have to get the numbers up.  That line can handle 30+. 

The targets in the back are at 272 yards and the black ones are at 182 yards.

You were fighting the Great American Eclipse.  Lots of people headed out of Ohio for locations West and / or South to see the total solar eclipse.  Tusco normally attracts a pretty full line.

Sorry, JustaShooter the numbers at Tusco have been 12-15 the shoots I've worked the last couple years.  These numbers are way under what they could be.
