In stark contrast to April 19, 1775, Saturday April 20 in Gaston, SC was rather hot; however, 11 patriots turned out to improve their marksmanship and hear about our heritage as rebels.

Unfortunately the heat and humidity (90 degree +) took its toll and some shooters had to leave early.

Sunday was more reminiscent of the British landing at Lechmere's point. It was cold and wet.

That being said:  Shooters persisted and marked improvement was noted on everyone's AQT's.  We had several people scoring close to Rifleman and are pleased to announce that one person was able to score a Rifleman score and be awarded the Rifleman patch.

We are also pleased to announce that another Rifleman utilized this event to requalify and accept an Orange Hat as an Instructor in Training.

Our Instructors for this weekend were Cleveland and Old Navy Doc from Tennessee. We were pleased to award Old Navy Doc his 75 event pin.
TAZdevil, macsr, TheIronMantis and DEH all from SC.

I would like to thank everyone involved including shooters and instructors for taking their time to further the cause of Liberty in South Carolina.

I would also like to thank Mid Carolina Rifle Club for continuing to host us for over 15 years.

As a Tennessee border jumper, I was delighted to work with this amazing group of instructors and students. They tolerated the heat, cold, rain, and wind with aplomb and were eager for more!
The club was a great location and I highly recommend this site for future Appleseed events.
I look forward to returning.

Congrats on the shoot and the green hat, DEH!!!  Kaia, I saw you shoot in Charlotte last year(ish).  I love the hair. :1luvu It's pretty awesome that you guys got to see your grandpa get his 75 event pin.
