Thank you Slippery Rock Sportsman's Club for hosting another wonderful Appleseed Weekend!

Six Patriots turned out to learn more about our Heritage and improve their marksmanship.  They all were repeat Apleseeders who had shot score.

All but one,who was working out a new rifle, repeated shooting score.

It was a fun and fast paced weekend.
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

The day opened with some basic instruction. Since our shooters had previously attended at least one Appleseed, we didn't need to spend a great deal of time on the basics...
"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."  Mark Twain

Some noteworthy accomplishments for the weekend:

Mark came, hoping to qualify, and maybe to clear a Redcoat. Mission accomplished. We shot 10 AQTs over the two days, and Mark qualified 10 for 10. Quite an accomplishment. He also took down a Redcoat or two.

Matt also wanted to take down a Redcoat, which he did.

Daniel wanted to qualify with a bolt-gun. He not only qualified, but he also took home a Distinguished Patch, shooting a 243 with that bolt-operated machine.
