     LARAMIE RIFLE RANGE 17-18 APRIL
Patriots' Day!!!
Wow!  Someone hit the airconditioning switch instead of heat! At Laramie Rifle Range  Saturday would have qualified as a Winterseed: below freezing - intermittent snow -and strong breezes.! We began with 6 students, instead of the ten preregistered, the other 4 must have  known what the weather would be.
We had 2 family groups: Sapphire & Rob, and Lisa & Wes, and two individuals: Russ and Byron.
They were enthusiastic students and we worked them hard all day on the basics.  It paid off because we finished Saturday with our first new Rifleman of the weekend: Byron at his first Appleseed with a 217.  Regular guy requaled with a 236.   Kudos to both and thanks for showing us  how to do it, despite the weather.
Sunday  started with an AQT in almost balmy weather, then back to basics: NPOA drills, carding sights and shooting a group without, and then with a sling.  All were impressed at how hits improved with a sling.  We made no more Riflemen, though Russ was pretty close.  All agreed that they had learned a lot and were looking forward to doing it again.  Thanks to all for their enthusiasm and ;ositive attitudes.
Thanks to  all the instructors: Boxmag1, marathongirl, Ridge Walker, Undertaker, and.  regular guy.  Youall did a great job.
As ever, thanks to Laramie Rifle Range for supporting Project Appleseed.  You folks are great.

Thanks to M1bzrk for the outstanding supervision  :bow:
Wyoming/Colorado Appleseed is off to a great year!
Let's make this the best year and get those new liberty loving shooters on the line!  :~
Live Free or Die!!!

It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.

"Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them." â€"Thomas Jefferson (1775)

Sounds like you guys had another great shoot up in Wyoming. The population may be small but the liberty is huge!

Thankful for all who came out to help make this happen, those who came out to participate, and those who sacrificed to allow us to have events like this.
