The first-ever Saturday-only Appleseed in western PA is in the books, and the consensus is that it was a success.  Thanks to Beaver Valley Rifle and Pistol Club for hosting us for the eleventh straight year.  BVRPC has seniority among the Appleseed host venues in Pennsylvania, as all of the venues that hosted us prior to BVRPC have sadly faded into the mists of history.

Thanks to all of the instructors who participated we were able to achieve a high instructor/student ratio that enabled us to kick the Time Monkey's tail while still achieving a positive learning experience for students of all experience levels. 

High score for the day on the one AQT we shot before the thunderstorms moved in and rained us out goes to Scott with a 206.  Thanks to Nate for the making a long trip to share marksmanship and history with us.  Kudos to Starry for perseverance in the face of equipment issues and a pace of instruction that must have been bewildering to a beginner.  Finally, thanks to Jules for stepping up as an Applecore volunteer.  We need all the help we can get!

"You can't teach Liberty by practicing tyranny." -  Mr. Happy

Another great day with a wonderful crew and some very motivated students.  It was a pleasure working with all of you.
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
