240 is a hell of a score!!! Congrats!View attachment 282147 So I did the Appleseed at Harvard Sportsmen’s Club this weekend. Once again had fun and again learned a lot and met some great people.
I’m think I’m a decent trigger puller having entered my first small bore competition over 50 years ago. However I was once again impressed how EXTREMELY good the instructors are at the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Learned a lot I did not know (again)
Starting this weekend my goal was to earn a rifleman patch again (210 of possible 250 points), and I did. ( my other goal was to not shoot on someone else’s target, I achieved that too) But with some tweaking by instructors my scores moved from two hundred teens to low 220’s. Then to mid and high 220’s. Then I broke 230! This morning I was consistent at 233 - 235 but stuck there. Then my last attempt of the morning after a “ happy trigger drill” and a reminder to not “drag wood” and a slight adjustment to my prone position resulted in the above 240.
I had not considered ever reaching 240. Now I am thinking about how to do it consistently and I have a few tips I was given that I haven’t tried yet that might get me there.
So Thanks to the volunteer instructors and the other participants. I had a great time.
NICE good work....its crazy how just a little instruction can help you dial in better scores. I see this often at the cmp clinics. Shooters with just enough experience to be safe posting a respectful score at the end!View attachment 282147 So I did the Appleseed at Harvard Sportsmen’s Club this weekend.

Just came back from another appleseed, running a 22 this time. Fun time, and fantastic weather.
