Project Appleseed #5 (at our farm)...

Well, I promised you pictures of our outhouse, so here they are:  :) 

Andrew screwed in a large spring to help the door close, and attached a latch to the top of the door on the outside so we can lock it closed when it's not in use.

 Like the camo? 

 I think the shoot went very well.   I think I told you all that Andrew received permission on Friday from the head of Project Appleseed so he could be the acting Shoot Boss at this shoot because Alex was not able to make it.  Jacob was his assistant both days and they made a good team 99% of the time.  ;)

May, getting ready to shoot?

 Jacob, carding the sights for Paul H...  

 Paul used to do competition shooting and is a concealed carry class instructor, so it was great to have him come and share stories.  He said he really enjoyed the Appleseed and wants to come again.

The proper sitting position...

 It was great having my dad shoot with us this time!!!!   He's a good shot.  :)
 My mom shot on Sunday as well.  She's a good shot too.  In fact, they're both Sharp-shooters!  Next step:  Rifleman!

It got to be very hot on Sunday especially.

 Checking our targets...

 Still checking...

The green targets here were used to practice getting our NPOA (Natural Point Of Aim) and then having to shift our NPOA over to the other target...

 Dad and Paul H., talking obviously...

 Our line on Saturday...

My dad bought 2 sizes of pipes and made us several flag poles  to hang our Appleseed flags on.  The flags gave the range a very festive atmosphere...

 Lauretta joined us on Sunday---hooray!    It was just like old times--shooting beside her.  :)

 She's made Rifleman already, but it's always good to keep practicing...

Here is my mom, May, and another Paul, Paul F...

 Lauretta and I in "Prep"...

Pretty clouds...

My dad...

We're ready!

Standing is the least stable position to shoot in!

 Good chicken-wing, Mom!

 Our back-stop...

Jacob B...

Checking for progress...

Prone is my favorite position to shoot in...

 "FIRE"...

Jacob, adding up the points on somebody's target...

Late Sunday afternoon, the guys pulled the tarp back to the 100 yard line so we could practice shooting from back there.  Talk about a challenge!
 Our range, flags and all...

 100 yards is a long distance.  400 yards would be a very long distance!!

 Sunday evening, we shared a potluck meal and then some people helped with chores/cow checking and others just visited.  It sprinkled a bit, so we relaxed indoors. 

We thank the Lord for once again keeping everyone safe (outside of the scuffed elbows and sunburns, but that tends to come along with spending 2 days in the sun, shooting).   Project Appleseed teaches and enforces strict safety rules, but accidents can always happen, so we're grateful for His protection.

We may be hosting yet one more shoot sometime this Fall, so if you're interested and would like a say as to what dates would work well for you (also, should it be a Friday/Saturday shoot or a Saturday/Sunday shoot?), please let me/us know!  We've had several people say they'd like to come already, but need to know how serious everyone is.  ;)
