[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1496996, member: 4235"] Yet another great event! It sure was nice to meet some of you and put faces with screen names. It was cold and overcast the whole weekend, and we even got a little light precipitation on Sunday. Temps were mostly in the 30s, maybe getting up to the 40s on Sunday afternoon. There was a steady 10-15 mph wind blowing most of the weekend. While the weather left something to be desired, the shooters were great. Safety was very good overall, with only a few minor violations that were corrected quickly by the instructors. I appologize for showing up late on Saturday morning... despite setting two alarms, I didn't wake up. My fellow instructors did a great job getting everyone registered and starting the safety briefing though. Sorry I missed you, BadgeBunny. I'm sure I'll run into you one of these days. The goodies you brought were excellent... you are welcome on my firing line any time as long as you bring snacks! ;) All the shooters showed improvement... some of them quite a bit. Congrats to our two Riflemen, SMS and oneof79. They both scored Expert on the second AQT we shot on Saturday afternoon, and they both did it with the same score (210 out of a possible 250). Anyone who shoots a Rifleman's score in that kind of weather certainly deserves the patch. SMS' son also got a special Young Patriot's patch for sticking with it alongside the adults. It was somewhat of a challenge for him to support that rifle with his small body, but he figured out kneeling, cross legged, and prone supported positions that worked for him, and really tightened those groups up. It was great to meet rawhide and foghorn918, too. Both showed great improvement and were getting awful close to that Expert score. Don't worry shooters -- we will be scheduling a lot more events. Eventually we will get lucky and land one on a weekend with nice weather. Grandfield on April 30 - May 1 has about as good of a chance as any of being nice. I still need to get Hobart and Tulsa on the schedule, and we will be having plenty more at Afton, which will soon have a 400 yard KD range! Just keep an eye on the schedule at [url]http://www.appleseedinfo.org/search-states.php?filter=OK&statename=Oklahoma[/url]. Thanks to all the OSA members who made this a great and successful event! I hope to see you all again soon on the firing line or elsewhere. henschman [/QUOTE]
