This was our second event at the wonderful Red Castle Gun Club near Tulsa, OK.  We started with a little bit of a chill and 14 shooters on the line on Saturday morning... all were first-time Appleseeders.  I haven't seen that in quite a while!  The weather and the marksmanship skills warmed up throughout the day, and we shot one AQT in the evening just as the light was fading.  We only had 6 shooters return for Sunday.  The AQT scores crept upwards throughout the morning, but no Riflemen.  After lunch, 5 of the students and one IIT (boomerang) went to the High Power range for a full distance AQT with the help of club members Jim and John, who ran the pits for us.  Our youngest shooter, Jalani, stayed at 25m with Tomcat and his Grandpa Mike to continue to sharpen his skills. 

At the KD range, we fired 5 sighters and then shot a stage for record from each distance.  Much was learned by all, and the AQT resulted in one new Rifleman -- my Run 'n Gun buddy Carter -- who sealed the deal with a score of 205.  Earning your patch on the full distance AQT at your first Appleseed -- now that's doing it in style! 

I had a great time despite fighting off some sort of bug all weekend.  I'm looking forward to many more great events at this range!

I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual."

Wow - even got to do some KD!

Isn't Carter the guy you bought out with you to the run n' gun awhile back?

Yep, he was my partner for the Battle Buddy Biathlon in June.
