Every Appleseed at the home range is a great Appleseed - some are just warmer than others. What a great group of Americans who came to the July 23-24 Ramseur Appleseed! With a 95 degree temperature and 68 percent humidity the 'feels-like' North Carolina temp was up around 120! Talk about a group of dedicated Americans, this was it.


This was a big group on the line for such a hot July weekend - 27 shooters started on Saturday morning, and almost all continued throughout the day on Sunday. Scores on the Redcoat targets showed steady improvement through the session. While our first Redcoat had several shooters hit the 100, 200 and 300 yard targets, and by the end of Saturday we had 3 hit the 400 and 2 completely cleared the target.


The grandfather - grandson team of Richard and Nathaniel both earned their Rifleman patches with scores of 214 and 219. Engineer Jim showed all of the instructors how to re-qualify with a score of 238. Richard accepted the Appleseed mission and took an Orange Hat. With his background and knowledge, Richard will become one of our finest instructors.


Much appreciation to this group of students for their enthusiasm, willingness to learn, safety, and good humor. Also many thanks to SpecialKay, RifleGal, cdavidhord, Kardiak Kid, Polonius, and Cousin Hart for volunteering their weekend to provide outstanding instruction, attention to detail, patient coaching and connection to our heritage during two hot days in July.
