A placeholder while I gather pictures and thoughts.  In the meantime, please be entertained by my vicious attack pup:

"Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible."
― Hyman G. Rickover

"Scoring is a function of great execution, and winning Is the result, but thinking about winning can pull your focus off of proper execution in a competition. Thinking about process is the answer."- Lanny Bassham

Friday night rain and weekend cold & wind wouldn't keep nine patriots away from developing their marksmanship skills and learning how marksmanship is woven into our shared cultural DNA.  Despite the weather, it was, by all accounts, a fantastic event!  Everybody showed strong improvement over the weekend, and all throughout, had fantastic attitudes!

Well done to Robi, who achieved Expert classification and earned the title of Rifleman!
Hat tip to Brian C., a frequent Appleseeder and friend of the program, who requalified as a Rifleman (with a completely different rifle and rifle figuration).

Lastly, thanks to our students who take time out of their busy lives to spend it folks like us.  We realize that your time is a precious commodity, and we're honored that you would spend that time with us, on the line and in the weather, than comfort and cozy on the couch, letting our liberties slip away.

We look forward to seeing you on the line again!

For the record, NO, being a Project Appleseed instructor doesn't cause you to lose your hair.  #MereCoincidence

If that were so, then some of us came very (maybe over?) qualified.  ;D
