I know its not about the patch but...I loved earning the patch!
I cant say enough how amazing this program is and how it WILL make you a better shooter the very first time you sign up for one. The techniques on breathing, stance, focus, etc. made me so much better with my rifle from the very first shot. You get so much better as the day progresses and it helps you unlearn bad habits acquired over the years. Also learned alot about the Revolutionary War and the events leading up to it, pretty fascinating, learned things I never knew about it.
16 degrees when we started, BTW. Everyone who braved it and stuck it out should be proud.
Special thanks to Rich, Nick, Scott and McSon and everyone else who helped put this together and made for a safe and fun day.
+1 million to Brian/evoempire for handing me his box of Mini-Mags after I got 3 FTF's after 10 rounds with my new (post recall) box of Winchester M-22's. Shame on you Winchester.
And another +1 million to McSon/McFly for telling me about Appleseed last summer and showing me how to properly sling the rifle and telling me what a great experience Applseed was for him. It sure is.
Looking forward to tomorrow - freezing rain and all...
