Another Class Review
On October 5-6, 2024, this author again attended an Appleseed. Goals were as follows: Shoot a score of 210+ on the AQT - again with an AR-15. Use the Magpul RLS sling in an entire Appleseed class. Shoot alongside a friend, and encourage him on. The shoot is in the books, and a good shoot it was. I fired less than 150 rounds and the entire shoot was less than 250 rounds total (For reasons that will be outlined below, I did not participate in every shooting drill).

Not surprising, again, no certificates were given out to the four individuals who shot Expert Rifleman
