This was a big weekend for Arizona Appleseed.

We welcomed a new Blue Hat, "BenjaminB," to his first shoot in that role, and he performed with excellence. He is a natural on the line and already looks like a tremendous addition to the AZ team.

We also celebrated a major milestone for Tom ("Agent3006"), a long-time Blue Hat who earned his Rifleman patch this weekend and immediately traded in that blue hat for an Orange Hat—huzzah! As if that wasn't enough, he went on to clear his Redcoat Sunday afternoon right after earning Rifleman. That is an exceptional showing and a fine example of how a Rifleman performs.

Not to be outdone, Andy also earned his first Rifleman patch and heard the call right away, stepping forward to take an Orange Hat as well. I can't wait to see what forum name he chooses.

Really, it was just a great weekend for Arizona Appleseed.

Thanks a ton guys! Liam and I had a great time at the shoot, and I'm hoping as I keep losing weight, I might be able to eventually do the prone shooting as well. I REALLY look forward to any Tucson area shoots, that hotel room was NOT great! Hahahah! Or I can sleep in my car at the camping area maybe. Truck stop showers might be in my future!
