What a great shoot. We had a mix of new and experienced shooters. A few familiar faces from earlier shoots too. Weather cooperated clouds and a few sprinkles were welcomed compared to what late August in IA could be. Ames Izaak Walton league is a super facility and well maintained. Thank you to them for closing the range to their members so we could have an Appleseed.

Shooters performed great we had 3 new rifleman and 2 requalifiers. The shooters all improved throughout the weekend. We were well staffed and that allows more one on one time with shooters. We even gained an orange hat and have a new shootboss. Huzzah!

Way to go Ames.  I knew he had the SB in the bag, when I had to leave and without hesitation, he assigned the DSB to call the line.  Ames did a great job and seemed ready for anything!
The entire instructor team did a great job.
I really appreciate Socks for helping my daughter and telling a great story!
I enjoyed meeting a lot of new people.  Congrats to the new rifleman and Orange Hat.  Huzzah! ^:)^

It was a great weekend at another great Appleseed shoot in Ames. Its always a great feeling seeing people improve. If you take a look at our red coat stats from Saturday to end of day Sunday there was a vast improvement. We also had several shooters post 200's; so close!

This was an outstanding Appleseed weekend!  We actually had another late re-qualifier at the end of Sunday.  So the total was three requalifies and three new riflemen.  PLUS, we had three cleared redcoats.  I thoroughly enjoyed working with this group of students.  And this was again another outstanding group of instructors.  Very proud of our two orange hats.  We had them working very hard and they stepped up!

Here are some photos I took from the weekend.

Cort did a super job running the show this weekend and gained a well deserved promotion.

In all a great weekend 6 rifleman scores were shot, along with 3 cleared redcoats.

IA gained a new shoot boss and thanks to Brandon for stepping up a new orange hat too.
