It was another wonderful weekend at the Nappanee Conservation Club. We had an amazing turn out with 14 shooters and weather that couldn't have been more perfect for a shoot. The energy from the shoots was just absolutely amazing and seeing them taking what they had learned and applying it, definitely showed as the weekend progressed. It was also was amazing to have 4 youth shooters on the line and being able to give away 4 youth patches. Congratulations to Adam, Shawn, Ashton, Jared, Eric and Jason on your rifleman scores. We had a few shooter that were knocking on the door of that rifleman score Stacey with a 200 and Josh, Michael and Arom getting scores in the 190s. I am confident that if all the shooter take what they have learned and just keep practicing those score will come very soon.

I want to give a big thank you to all the instructors that showed up to help with the event. Because of all your efforts we were able to have a fun and safe shoot. The interaction with all the shooters and all the one on one instruction was better than a shoot boos could ask for.

I would also like to thank the Nappanee Conservation Club for hosting the event, and for being such an amazing host range for the 10 yrs or so that I have been coming down and working the events there. I definitely am looking forward to the shoots down there next year.

Now I know there were some pictures taken so lets get to posting them.
