This was another wonderful event at a long-time host of Project Appleseed.  The weather was hot, and the marksmanship even hotter as twenty liberty-loving Americans came out to share a weekend of 20th century-style shooting and 18th century heritage.  Thanks to Salem Hunting Club for hosting us once again, and special thanks to Jay, who took time from his hosting duties to fire the high score for the weekend (238).

Anthony and Dano started off the Rifleman patch parade on Saturday with a 218 and 234, respectively.  Dano followed up on Sunday with three more Rifleman-worthy targets.  Jay also qualified three times, with a high of 238, and Rich twice with a high of 235 (earning him the Distinguished bar for his patch).  Ryan (217) and Heather (229) also earned patches.  Three or four more shooters scored consistently in the Sharpshooter range, but couldn't quite get through the gate to Rifleman.  The AQT is truly a grueling test of the marksman and their equipment.

I would like to say thank you again to the Appleseed crew! It was a great weekend as usual and I can't wait for next year. Next time I have to beat that 234...

Huzzah!!! Looks like we had another great Appleseed at Salem.  Thanks to Jay and the club for having us back again and it looks like there was a great deal of expert marksmanship going on at this event.  Congrats to all the shooters and a big thank you to all the Instructors that worked the event.

It was indeed a superb weekend. Thanks to everyone who attended. The positive attitudes and persistence in that stifling heat were impressive. Also, a big thank you to the instructors and shoot boss. It was great working with ya'll.
"The most natural and eligible mode of attack on the part of the people is that of detached parties of bushmen who from their adroitness in the habitual use of the firelock suppose themselves sure of their mark at a distance of 200 [yards]." - Thomas Gage, March 4th, 1775

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption
of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the
Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." - Daniel Webster

"When all connection, upheld by commerce, with the mother country, shall cease, it may be suspected that an independency of her government will soon follow." - Thomas Gage
