We had a great Appleseed.

We had a small group but they worked well together. The weather was beautiful on Saturday but late in the day on Sunday the monsoon rain came through. The range facility was first rate and a great place to work an event. Instructors could not have been better or more cooperative.

The experience of the group spanned from beginner to proficient. On Saturday morning, after shooting the Red Coat target, we started on the basics. The group worked hard and were very attentive. Our most inexperienced shooters, who couldn't hit many shots on the Red Coat target in the morning improved greatly by afternoon. The more experienced did much better as well. We had some scores in the 200's. By Sunday we managed to get in several AQT's before the rains started in the afternoon.

In fact, we qualified two new Rifleman. After scoring several 200s Gordon finally scored a 225.
Nadine was dancing around 200 all day the finally went on to score a 213 and followed that up with a 211. Congratulations to these two and everyone for working so hard.

The day went great and everyone was very dedicated. All shooters should feel good about the improvements in their performance. A big thank you to the great crew of instructors. Everyone did a great job and the teamwork was amazing. Check out some pictures at the following link.

Absolutely fantastic and gratifying to see such good stuff from all in S FL. Congrats Gordon & Nadine! Look forward to meeting you on the line Nadine. Welcome aboard! The old "alarm list" appreciates reinforcements.

Go job one and all! Nadine, you've worked hard to earn that patch! Thanks for stepping up to an Orange Hat.

I'm honored to have spent the weekend on the line with this group very determined shooters and fine instructors. We went from no cleared redcoats on Saturday to two shooters, Kevin and Nadine, clearing the redcoat on Sunday.  A single loose shot on a few other targets was all that stood in the way of a few other shooters raising cleared targets as well. 

Fortunately, the rain on Sunday cooperated enough to let us maneuver around it until the very end.  Only minutes after the last backer was retrieved, the sky let loose some south Florida fury.

I expect to see some of these shooters holding patches (orange hats maybe) at future events.

Congrats and thanks to Nadine for earning her patch and taking on the orange hat challenge.
