[QUOTE="Lomshek, post: 2310269, member: 9239"] Here’s my AAR of our Appleseed Sep 28-29. We had periods of steady rain mixed with drizzle and mist interspersed with the occasional dry spell. Towards late afternoon the sky lightened and at least let us dry a little before the sun kind of made an appearance the last 30 minutes. Temps topped out at about 72. 28 shooters with great attitudes showed up on Saturday. Ages ranged from 9 or so up to my dad at 71 years old firing his brand new Daniel Defense carbine at his first Appleseed and first organized shooting event since he left the Army after Vietnam (CO of a vehicle maintenance company). Appleseed founder Fred made the trip out to Kansas to help run this and I acted as assistant RO (Orange Hat in Appleseed instructor speak). Fred ran the line on Saturday then turned it over to me on Sunday. Between strings of fire shooters would take a 10 or so minute break and a piece of the shooting puzzle would be explained as we demonstrated proper form or technique. Fred also used some breaks to tell tales of Revolutionary War exploits of well known founders and not so well known.
