Another great Appleseed weekend at Indianhead Rifle and Pistol Club in Spooner, WI. IRPC has been a staunch supporter of our program through the years. Thank you!

Congratulations to our newest Riflemen, Abe with a 219 and Josh with a 212! Further congratulations to Abe who cleared Saturday's final Redcoat!

Lots of enthusiasm and teachable attitude on the line. Also a huge thank you to everyone for their cooperation and patience with our social distancing efforts at our first Appleseed in the era of the chinese virus.

TJ, Deane, Ralph, George, Mark, Noah, John and Ken were seasoned shooters who displayed steady progress all weekend.

The younger students Savannah, Amy, Paul, Nathan, Bodi, Jessica, Joshua, Jeremiah and Jaxon one and all were in sync with the instruction and persisted throughout the weekend. Instructing at an Appleseed is an honor and privilege but being able to work with fine young Americans such as this group really is the icing on the cake. I hope that I am fortunate enough to award each and every one of you your Rifleman patch when that day comes.

Everyone was tuned into and on board with the History and Heritage that we were privileged to share with them.

Thank you from myself and all the instructors for being such a fine group of students.

My deep felt thanks to BugginOut and CJCB for all you did this weekend to make this another IRPC successful and safe Appleseed. Without you guys this event could never have happened. You are true Patriots!

Congratulations BugginOut for passing the 25 shoot milestone! We were honored to present you with your pin commerating that achievement.

Pictures following.

Final pics...

PS-Fat Fingers here accidentally deleted all copies of one of the two socially-distanced group photos.  :slap:
If anyone knows how I can retrieve them off my camera's (yes, I said camera) memory card, please advise.

Thank you to the instructors @Taylor, @BugginOut and @CJCB for another great Appleseed weekend in Spooner!

I brought my brothers and nephew along this time and they had a blast and are already getting psyched up for getting their Rifleman patches next time around. @Taylor's passionate historical storytelling definitely made an impression beyond the very practical marksmanship lessons.

I imagine it was more of a teaching challenge with only two instructors for a good part of the weekend, and having to shoot in relays due to the virus, but we participants are thankful you made it work!

@Taylor For recovering pictures I've had good luck using PhotoRec in a similar situation: https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec It looks like it comes bundled with another program called TestDisk now. If you need help getting it installed or even if you want to snail mail me the memory card I'd be happy to take a whack at it.

Thank you for the kind words Abe. It was our pleasure to have such a fine group of students that included you and your brothers and nephew. And thank you for 7th stepping. Let me check out the software you mentioned but if it is over my head (good chance of that) I may take you up on your offer.

PS-Three spots left on the line at my next shoot at Hinckley MN August 15-16...just sayin'.
