All instructors were thankfull for the opportunity to instruct some great Americans on marksmanship and history. This after action report is a place for the participants to voice their thoughts on the shoot. As soon as I find my camera, I will be placing lots of photos on this page. We had 38 shooters on Saturday and 31 on Sunday including 6 youths! A new record for SC ;D We awarded 9! Rifleman Patches to some very deserving Riflemen. Please don't hesitate to add your thoughts here.
Dwayne,
A hearty thanks to you, the range crew, and Mid-Carolina Rifle Club. The instruction was top notch!! I have been a casual rifle shooter for many years and I learned more in two days than I thought possible. The history lessons were inspiring. The range discipline was excellent. I can't say enough good things about my 1st Appleseed. I'll be back. Now I have to finish cleaning my rifle and pass the word.
Thanks again,
Tom
PS: It was also a helluva lot of fun!!!!!!!
Here are the pics as promised

Hey! Do I see pictures of Karen and Larry being presented with Rifleman patches?
Is it a dream?

What a fantastic weekend!! Big Kudos to DwayneH on such a well-run weekend. I'm glad I could be a part of it.
Man it looks like ya'll had a grand ole time in SC. Nice looking range. I am sorry I missed it and missed seeing you guys again, but we were having our own party in Toccoa. ..:..
You know if Dwayne, Mike & Matt are all there it's gonna be a good time. ^:)^
Congrats & regards to my missed friends.

Hey Spanner - missed seeing you this time! Thanks to your great instruction in October along with Duane, Guy and the others, we practiced our techniques a bit during the winter months and headed over for our 2nd Appleseed. The weather was perfect. Duane, Matt and Karl were excellent instructors on our line (we actually used 2 ranges because of the increased numbers of attendees!) Larry & I both improved our groups and Larry achieved Rifleman scores TWICE on Saturday. O0
Well, I had my work cut out for me, so on Sunday - with perseverance, determination, concentration and much encouragement, I was able to clear a Red Coat and then score Rifleman on the 2nd AQT. Man, it's rewarding to see it all come together!!
We met a lot of great folks and really appreciate all the time and energy spent by the instructors to put together such a fantastic event. And Thanks to Mid-Carolina Rifle Club for the use of their incredible facility. We will keep spreading the word!!
Karen & Larry

Congrats to Larry and Karen and all the other Riflemen. Perfect weather, and getting off the couch with a great bunch of Americans what could be better!
It seems I need to apply some of the steady hold factors to my photography, these were the ones that came out OK. Sorry if I missed anybody.
