Wow, another year of Appleseed done in WY.   We had a terrific shoot at the Sheridan County Sportsmans Association Gun Club. I  want to thank the club for its continued support every year. The facility continues to get better and better.  The weather was sunny and warm in the high 80's & low 90's. with a nice breeze on Sunday helping to make it more tolerable.
      We had a pretty full  line with 10 Shooters on Sat and 8 on Sun with ages ranging from 12-72 with remarkable perseverance shown by all.  I want to thank the shooters for excellent  Can Do attitudes and a desire to learn by drinking from the fire hose and pushing through.
Fish was knocking at the door of Rifleman at 197 shooting very well with a borrowed rifle and open sights.  Jarret effectively doubled his scores on Sunday, Way to go! Theresa was learning tons and will shoot better with a lighter rifle.  Ruthless persevered and is getting better. A lighter rifle would probably help. Shooting with borrowed gear can be challenging. David is getting it, showing progress by the numbers.  Jesse was getting it showing improvement all weekend.  Connor and Ryan were getting it and looking good with very good groups towards the end of Sat. Sorry you guys had to go to work after a hard day.  We understand why you didn't show up on Sunday.  Mark Davis showed up to shoot and helped tell some history and coached our youngest shooter. Thanks for the help!  Erica " Teacher Lady" came to shoot and showed us why she is an IIT Shooting the score 4 times over the weekend with a High of 217! Nice! 
All in all, a great weekend with a great group of shooters.  With one Rifleman ( Woman) and lots of improvement showed by everyone.
We even had a few people clear the Redcoat! 
It was a privilege to spend time with a quality group of students.
Thanks for coming out.

Sounds like a great event in Wyoming, Beemer!  Thank you for persevering through the heat and planting the seeds of Liberty  :bow:

Thank you Beemer,
10 shooters is great these days in Wyoming!  They are all to be commended for their progress.
You and the cadre are to be congratulated.
Wish I could have made it, but thank you all for keeping Project Appleseed active in NW Wyo.
Thanks to all of you,

Looks like a great event!  Wow ages ranging from 12-72!!!  What else, besides Appleseeding/Liberty can be so enjoyable to such a wide age-range of folks?  Not much!  Congrats to all the shooters and the progress made!
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
