nope..dont think anyone brought a camera I should of.

the range wasnt to muddy...worst part was rite in front of the firing line. but from the line back its gravel so we didnt get to muddy.

and now after attending the mini I look at my avatar and see I was shooting that rifle all wrong!

 

[hawkhavn]

Relichound,

Yep, lugging that concrete bench around with you would get tiring after 200 yards of so.

So who is up for the full thing in April?

HH

P.S. How many were there?

I read enough about it from the others who have attended them that I had a pretty good idea of how it would be. but I didnt realize how in depth the coaching would be. the instructors did a GREAT job and where very patient with us all. their willingness to help was really amazing to me.

it was alot to take in for a new person like myself but as the day went on I think I got better. the biggest thing I learned was how to properly "work" the trigger and proper use of a sling and how all the muscles in your body affect your groups. Ive been shooting for over 20yrs and learned more in a couple of hours than I have in those 20yrs. itll take me a bit to get use to the things I learned but Ill get r done..just have some old habits to break first.

Yep!

Mudcat and Co. did a great job!!!!!!

 

[hawkhavn]

Great! That is the way every Appleseed is supposed to be.
I had a lot of bad habits to break as well when I got into the program.
Looking forward to seeing you both on the line in 2010!

+1 Couldn't say it better. Mudcat is a great teacher, I am sure you learned a lot and had a fun time too!

All 3 of them did a fine job!
I had a great time. Wished I would have dressed warmer though!

 

[Mudcat]

Yep we all had a good time today, great weather sunny and 70deg...well almost. we had 5 shooters 4 first timers and 1 past attendee. 3 instructors and 1 spectator.
The first redocat was a real surprize as 3 of the targets were really good looking with Relichound effective to 300 yards and JClark showing some nice groups just not on the target and Bob good to 300 too. The real surprize was after 3 volleys of no rounds on paper we ended up putting Michelle on a loaner . She put together some great groups. In all positions just not on the same AQT heck I believe everyone did as a matter of fact.
I believe with a little practice all 3 should make Rifleman in the near future. It will be a pleasure to have you all at the March Appleseed.

I'm really bummed I couldn't be there. I had to work most of the day. Sounds like it would've been an amazing experience.

 

[Mudcat]

JClark...hold the trigger back, hold the trigger back, hold the trigger back. lol
