Project Appleseed

It was a great shoot.  Thanks to everyone for overcoming the challenges from the heat.  Who would have thought you could have 75% humidity with 95 degrees temperature!

This was my first Appleseed event, and I am looking forward to doing more. Though I failed to earn my rifleman patch the excellent instruction inspired me to try again and laid out the path for me to accomplish do so.

This experience far exceeded my high expectations. I had first learned of The Appleseed Project more than a decade ago (2009-ish?) and I wish I had made more of an effort to attend one earlier. When I learned that our club would be hosting an Appleseed event it was a MUST DO for me.

Thank you to all who made that possible!



 

Very cool idea!

Sounds like a great event.  I am a huge fan of the home range!

What a fantastic event, I was glad to be back on the line with fellow patriots. A great event organized by Tar Heel! Lots of talented Orange Hats bringing their dedication to the range. Huzzah!

Good to hear from you! Glad all is well with you. We will have something in Hot Springs in Oct. Perhaps something in Jonesboro before the end of the year. Got an upcoming 25m event in Perryville next month. Hope to see you soon!
