What a great weekend.  It's always a pleasure to work with Young Marines.  :F  The attention to instruction and interest in the history of April 19th from a group of young patriots is what it's all about. 

The weather was perfect for an Appleseed, highs in the 60s, sun, light breeze.  Sixteen Young Marines on the line for a weekend of marksmanship and history.  Congratulations to our two new riflemen; Dodson and Hurley, great shooting gentlemen.  There were many of you very close to earning your patch consistently shooting 180 and higher.  Remember to practice your NPOA and I'm sure many more rifleman patches will be handed out next time.

Lastly, remember, what's the P word?................posterity.  Who is posterity?.........................us.

The hardest distance to shoot is the six inches between your ears.  It gets easier when you get out of your own way.  Self doubt and negative self talk have no place on the firing line. 
Once a shot is gone... good or bad, it is gone.   Focus on the next one. Make forty good first shots.

You have some GREAT shots in there.  I especially like those sequenced shots where you have just the pan flashing and then the tongue of flame at the muzzle.  It really demonstrates how well the young marines handled the recoil from that big bore.  And then the pic of the Red Coat shows how they did.

Hammer Forged: Re- wha????

I was just enjoying your hallmark AAR with great text, arrows, et al... and now this?  :'(

Thank You for volunteering!

What's up with Iceman? Wow. They must feed him in the CG! Looking good!

Congrats to the Riflemen and Riflemen in the making on a great event.

A big Huzzah to Super Trooper on his Green Hat! Well done!
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.
