What a productive - and BRISK - KD Weekend!  Six shooters faced sub-freezing temperatures, everyone learned a lot about themselves (and their equipment) and two earned their KD wings!

Justin impressed us with a 42,
Matt KILLED it with a 48!

Congratulations to everyone!    AAAND there's more, we'll let others tell the story through pictures.

It was a fantastic event!  Thanks to Mr. Goin for hosting us and thanks to all the instructors for sharing their time and expertise!  At my first Appleseed they told me a Rifleman persists... it took a lot of persistence to earn KD Rifleman, but it was well worth the journey!

The new Morgan's Rifleman patch is a fantastic addition to the program!!!  I love the idea of recreating history.  In these crazy times the ability to reach back and participate in doing what Captain Daniel Morgan was doing over 200 years ago has a special place in my heart.  It feels a bit like re-living history.  Looking forward to my next Appleseed event.

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

There was a pretty mixed response to how many students in the class had medical training.  There is now a Stop The Bleed Online Course that is offered for free.  It's great starting point into life saving medical training.

Got my Winterseed patch in the mail.  Thank you Steck!

Also included my Rifleman patch, with an old photo from the National Guard MAC V Regional Marksmanship Championship.  Appleseed helped me get there.

God Bless!
