    Hope you guys had a good shoot today. I'm home with a sick Missus AND a little girl that's been sick since last night.

    Is there another shoot scheduled in Maryland anytime soon? I'd love to take my girlfriend and maybe even get a little better myself. Besides, I need an excuse to buy tech sights.

    You were missed today! I made rifleman as #101 and Pete was #102! Great time today regardless of the soggy conditions.

    Tony G. He is screen name Impact Data Books on here. He was the only to qualify on day 1 and then we qualified on the first course today. Lots of people were really close! I'm sure next time out they will make it.

    Congrats to all of the new Rifleman particulary #100! Great to see the impact that Brian and all of the other volunteers make with a great program.

    I got my Rifleman patch back in September and have been wanting to come back ever since. Unfortunately, a knee injury has kept me away. I stopped by on Sat to see the Appleseed while visiting the IDPA match. This made the hunger to attend even more. Hopefully Jan or Feb.....

    I you haven't made it to an Appleseed, find time! You won't regret it.

    AWESOME! Congratulations to both of you, I knew you'd both make it. Pete was the Asian guy?

    So who was the lucky #100?

    Tony G. He is screen name Impact Data Books on here. He was the only to qualify on day 1 and then we qualified on the first course today. Lots of people were really close! I'm sure next time out they will make it.

    I didn't realize he was on here. Tony is a really funny former Marine, pretty sure he used a bolt gun to do it.

    Yup, that was Pete! He did it with an AR style .22 that had a Nordic Components upper. Tony and I both did it with CZ 452's. His was a 452 American and mine was a 452 Lux model. All of the guys who were there from our group is on here I believe.

    Thanks for a great class and a great weekend. We all had fun and I know that alot of shooters learned alot about their gear and equipment as well as what to work on for the next class.

    Hats off to all the staff for a job well done!!

    Looking forward to the next one!

    As we end 2012

    As 2012 comes to a close, I want to take a minute to share a few things.

    I want to sincerely thank ALL the students, instructors, Anne Arundel Fish & Game, and the MD Shooters community and moderators for embracing Appleseed and making it a successful program in Maryland! Never in my wildest dreams did I think that every MD class would be selling out (excepting no shows) for 3 years and running!

    I want to acknowledge our 100th Rifleman again ..Tony G. Reaching our 100th Rifleman was a milestone, when you consider the success rate for earning the Rifleman designation in any given class in MD is about 20% +/-. The National average, BTW, is about 12%. That equates to over 500 folks on the line, 500 people who now have the skill-set needed to shoot to Rifleman standards, and 500+ people who been reminded of the tremendous sacrifices made to secure their Liberty. And that's what this is all about folks...

    Finally, I want to again ask (ok..plead!) that if you see a value in this program and belong to a gun club.. help us get in the door to get this going at YOUR club and other ranges in the State in 2013. The clocks ticking to save this country and we need your help to do it.

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All and I'll see YOU on the line in 2013!
    BeSwift
