I am requesting a After Action Report (AAR) on the Appleseed Training.   I really would like to attend next year if I can manage.

I had a great time...met Rich B and jlficken, along with a bunch of other really good people.  I didn't make rifleman, but I think 5 out of the 14 attendees did.  My high score for the weekend was 200 out of 250, with 210 required to make rifleman.  My first score of the weekend was 165, so you can see I still improved a huge amount.  The instructors were great and very knowledgeable.  For me the best part was learning all the little bad habits I've developed over the years (dragging my trigger finger on the stock, gripping the forend too tightly, etc).

If someone is into service rifle shooting I would say this is a must-attend event, but I would recommend it for everyone.  Definitely worth the $70.
