Quick Prone Lesson Courtesy Of Appleseed

Things happen fast at Appleseed shoots, and it isn't always easy to get them on video. The wind was still during this lesson, and you can hear the instructor. The lesson I didn't get on video is raising and lowering your NPOA (Natural Point Of Aim) in prone. Your leg sticking out behind has a toe at the end of it. Dig that toe in to drag your leg back to raise your NPOA, or to push your leg forward, lowering your NPOA. Practice that a few times and it becomes second nature. You will be able to adjust your elevation quickly, easily, and reliably if you do this!

What A Difference Half A Day Makes

Tuesday evening on the left; Wednesday Morning on the right. Susan's poppies are so bright, every year it is like seeing them for the first time. Their numbers are decreasing a bit, so we have to scratch between the day lilies and iris this year and make sure seeds get back to the soil.

This Helen Kane classic came to our minds today, because we went to a wedding! It was a joyous occasion.

Get Those April e-Postal Targets In!

The Conservative UAW Guy has not posted the scores yet, so that means you probably can still sumbit targets. Note that in the rules for April there is a Class 8, where you can shoot anything you wish. I shot at 25' standing with a 10/22 on the first line, then at 25 yards, sitting, and prone, for the other two lines. Just go nuts, and have a good time. Don't delay. I bet the scores are being tabulated as I post this.

Weekend Steam: Factories The Way They Used To Be

I think we featured this video several years ago. I've at least watched it before, because I recognize the old dog. I wonder if his tail was shortened to keep him out of the gears, or maybe by some gears!
