My apologies for the late posting on this.  No alibis to offer.

That said...HUZZAH! We had a great group of students and instructors on the 31st of July and 1st of August.  The students were mostly repeat Appleseeders (or brought by same) and had a great time.  Very very safe group, for which I thank you! 

The weather was as near perfect as we could ask, and the students were outstanding.  We had a great time shooting and learning, and I was greatly pleased to award two well deserved new Pistoleer™ patches. Huzzah!  Also of note, Messer and BillP_556 requalified as Pistoleer™s! 

Pictures will follow as I find them.

And a good time was had by all!   O0

I'm glad RRPC was able to host this - it's a great program.

As always, my thanks to the great Appleseed instructors!

Stay Vigilant,

Thank you for a wonderful weekend. I got a Pistoleer™ patch, and I definitely had to work hard to earn it! I also needed the personal help I received from Bob on Sunday and another instructor whose name I unfortunately didn't write down on Saturday, to qualify with only 2 points to spare on the last attempt of the event. For example, Bob showed me how to use the prominent grooves on both sides of the Taurus 22 pistol, which I had not noticed and do not exist on any other pistol I have seen. Also that the somewhat high flyers on each rapid fire target were always the first shot in the string. I just got a Strikeman laser training system, and fortunately the first shot is the one I can practice in my basement! It was somewhat disappointing that the .22 cases did not somehow convert to reloadable 9mm cases when I shot them, but I have more than 500 good 9mm cases and should soon have cleaning media to polish them. I was using only factory new 9mm ammo and one gun stopped working anyway, I thoroughly cleaned and inspected it and will need to test it when I can.

Bob,

Glad you came out and achieved the "Pistoleer™" patch!  Great Job and hope to see you and a family member or friend out at another Appleseed event!

Sincerely,
"The Revolution was in the Minds of the People, and this was effected, from 1760 to 1775, in the course of fifteen Years before a drop of blood was drawn at Lexington."
