The First Annual Alabama Super-Soaker Shoot was a resounding success!
First I want to thank the Shelby County Sheriff Chris Curry and his amazing staff of Deputies. As far as I am aware, this was the first Appleseed hosted by a Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff and his Deputies need to be commended for their commitment to our American Heritage of Liberty. The Sheriff's Office did not have to open their doors to Appleseed, but they did. Not only did they open the door, they helped carry the torch.

Please, if anyone can find the time, write the good Sheriff and staff and thank them for serving Liberty, Shelby County and the good citizens of the great state of Alabama. They need to hear support from the "silent majority". There are two addresses off their webpage, one for the Sheriff, and one for the Training Center.

The Shelby County Sheriff's Office Training Center is a first-class facility and offers great shooter capacity and 200 yard shooting opportunities.
We had 24 shooters on Saturday and 14 on Sunday.
6 shooters scored Rifleman, 2 civilians, 4 LEOs.
2 Deputies put on the orange hats, and there have been mumblings about an IBC...

There were some new and many familiar faces at this Appleseed. It was great to see you all again. Many shooters had kin on the line. The Lawley Clan was present and made up about 1/3 of the line.
Everyone appeared to have a great time, improved their skills, stirred their inner American and had a long shower. Did I mention it was a bit humid?
I want to thank everyone that came, shooters and instructors. This is always a group effort and an exercise in coming together as Americans.
