Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. We'll figure something out with the sling. Zip ties are amazing!

The after action report is up. Check it out here: Nashville, IN July 12-13, 2014
It was pretty hot and humid until it got really humid right at 4 Sunday afternoon when the heavens opened up and poured. It felt great!
Thanks to everyone for coming out, bringing friends and family or sending people to the event. We'll do it again several times this summer at various locations around the state and we are back in Nashville the first weekend in December for some late fall shooting festivities.

I hear my nephew backed out last minute and a younger nephew subbed into his spot. Sorry. If that hadn't have happened I think the family would have been there both days.
I also hear there was some trouble getting my sister's M&P AR15-22 sighted in. I'm having the same issue with mine. I've done some research and it sounds like accuracy isn't consistent on these. Some good, some not so good. Barrel nut torque, the free float barrel handguard ring, ammo sensitive, a bunch of other little factors. Is that pretty common with these rifles at Appleseeds?

I had a good time. Would have been a great time if not for the weather. I learned some good stuff about shooting better. Heard some good stories about our Founding Fathers fight for the Freedoms we enjoy today. Met some really nice people. And shot like crap. I have some work to do to figure out what works for me. And some work to do on my rifle. Thank you Rayne for the loaner magazine on Saturday. And all of you were right about the scope being to far back.
forgot to mention the enthusiasm from all involved, especially Uncle Davey. And the help from Kate.
And met Brown and Mrs. Brown, who was very friendly and supportive.

You may have "shot like crap" (likely not all that bad), but I'm guessing you are a better shooter than you were Saturday morning, which is really the name of the game.
Regarding people's generosity and enthusiasm, you won't find more of either one of those traits outside of an Appleseed shooting line. Your experience is not a unique one in this regard.
Keep at it, and get signed up for the next one!

Best AQT was shot Sunday morning. Heat, fatigue and lack of focus came along shortly thereafter. The more I tried to plow through the worse it got. Finally gave up and sat in the shade.

"Discretion is the better part of valor." I don't know what wise man said that originally but he was, indeed, very wise. It also takes a wise -- and strong -- man to admit that he's reached his limit and take a step back. DAK, my hat is off to you. It was good to meet you and spend time on the line with you. I hope you will make it out again soon.
