The threat of rain and the promise of mud and standing water did not deter 16 shooters from enjoying their New Years' Eve at a KD.

Chris K and Jacob L. set the standard high early by hitting Morgan's Shingle.

First-time Appleseed shooter Jacob checked all the boxes. he hit Morgans Shingle, scored a 48 on his first AQT, earning him Rifleman patch, KD rocker, and Distinguished patch. THis young man knows very well what he is about.

Chris K, scored a 43 at his first KD.
Overmountain earned his KD rocker with a 43

A number of shooters were requalified: Wiley Coyote 41, Leadslinger66 43, Army Vet 47, Google 48, and Johnny managed a 49 with irons on his M1.

Many thanks to the crew that set this up! The New Year's Eve Instructor KD is a tradition we all look forward to in the TN Valley area. Great camaraderie and a chance to hone our own skills. If we "talk the talk" during the year instructing at 25m events, we should be able to "walk the walk".
The difference between a novice and a master: the novice does it until they get it right. The master does it until they can't get it wrong.

How cool is that!  I think FL might just have to copy this tradition!
ACCEPT YOUR WOBBLE!

It's not about perfection -- it's about progress!!

I LOVE this stuff!

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again."  Ronald Reagan

It was a great event with great people.  Thanks to the hosts, Instructors, and RSOs for the great time!  Wet and muddy isn't such a bad thing when shooting.  :)

Huzzah!!!!   WAY TO GO, Folks!!!!   :F
In giving us dominion over the animal kingdom, God has signified His will that we subdue the beast within ourselves.
John Lancaster Spalding

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1775

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."  George Washington 1790

"[T]o preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…"
- Richard Henry Lee, Declaration Signer

Practice every time you get a chance. - Bill Monroe
