One could not have asked for a better event. A full line with fifteen enthusiastic shooters, a team of able instructors, beautiful Florida Winter weather, and the finest range in all of Florida bring joy to the heart of this old Shootboss. None of the students had attended an Appleseed before. Nevertheless, the scores steadily climbed as they absorbed all the skills we presented. Five students were unable to return for the second day, but by the end of the day Sunday we had one Rifleman (Tim R.), six Sharpshooters (Wallace, Taurance, Elijah, Quincy, Darian, and James), and three Marksmen (Laurier, Ben, and Micah). The six junior shooters, ranging in age from 11 to 16 were all able to safely perform the transitions and scored very well.
Three new instructors were promoted to IIT1. Congratulations to sarea_51 (Sara), KOF (Dave S), and Armybooger (David M). HUZZAH! Dave and Sara are our newest husband/wife team.

Thanks to our Shoot Boss and all of our instructions for sharing your time and expertise, and looking forward to getting another shot at it.

Sara and I had such a great time!  We enjoyed seeing all the new shooters there and watch their skill levels improve.  One could not have asked for better weather.  We look forward to working future Appleseed's and watch the excitement grow!
