Title: Old Middlegate Station shoot
Post by: featherblue on June 02, 2010, 12:30:46 AM

We heard at the G'ville shoot this weekend that a shoot was scheduled at Old Middlegate Station (east of Fallon) the end of June. I cannot find this scheduled on the forum here. Susie (Mrs. featherblue) and I would like to go to a shoot at Old Middlegate if one was actually going to happen.

Can anyone confirm this shoot? As Fred says, to paraphrase, " . . . Middlegate is the resort place for Appleseed shoots . . . ".  Being Mrs. featherblue and I live off grid, Middlegate Station and their diesel generator that runs 24/7 is really like home.  ;D

Featherblue, I noticed the same thing. On the schedule the shoot is scheduled for July 26-27. On the flyer for that shoot it is listed as June 26-27. Not sure which it is. I hope for some clarification soon from one of the moderators maybe?????

KahrGuy,

The pre-register page does not show a shoot at Old Middlegate June 26-27. I don't want to make plans for an 'event' that doesn't happen. Kind of a long drive for Susie and I.  :-\

Thanks again for the .06 brass!! O0

I am in the same boat. Is the shoot on June 26-27 like the flyer, or July 26-27 like the schedule? I would like to register myself but until we get a clarification on the date I guess we'll have to wait. My pleasure on the brass. There's more coming in Fallon if the shoot happens.

I suspect it just got entered incorrectly as July 26-27, rather than June 26-27.

July 26-27 is not a weekend, but Monday & Tuesday.

I'll try to get it sorted out asap...

June 26-27, 2010 it is.

It looks like the only error is that "July" was mistakenly selected, rather than "June" on the "Current Appleseed Schedule" page at http://www.appleseedinfo.org/as_schedule2.php (http://www.appleseedinfo.org/as_schedule2.php).

The date is listed correctly, in the announcement post for Fallon, NV 2010 shoots, Instructor Scheduling, and most importantly, on the Eventbrite Registration link.
http://www.eventbrite.com/event/706124036 (http://www.eventbrite.com/event/706124036)

I think Arashi mentioned he'd be able to be there, & I'm working on arranging my schedule a bit so I can get over there too, which shouldn't be a problem.

Chris_H,

Thanks for clearing this up. I'll get our travel trailer ready and be there!

Susie and I thank you and the official RWVA people for the "RWVA Volunteer" hats. Although as Susie told me, pastel blue and pink doesn't jive with my . . . being! Nasty, harsh hues do however!  ;D

the error was made in posting on the public schedule. Typos happen.

Reno-Gazette Journal has the shoot on their calendar page too! http://calendar.rgj.com/search?c=1275&e=&t=appleseed&x=0&y=0.

Yikes! Only 2 people have preregistered for the shoot according to the data posted in the Appleseed Preregistration forum.

Don't worry, there will be a lot more than two people on the line! The place is an oasis and great shoot!!

    I do worry, because 9 out of ten who say they'll "be coming" will not show up.

    I worry, because however many show up, there'll be room for more on the line, and every blank space is one less rifleman.

    I worry, because we can never move this program fast enough, reach enough people fast enough, or save this nation fast enough.

    Do not slack on getting people to come - ever!

    PS: You are right about this location being an "oasis". Everyone should experience Middlegate Station once in their lives.

         And did you mention there'll be a full-distance AQT on Sunday? Right out to a paced 400 yards? That alone would make Middlegate a place to remember...

         People "in the know" should be signing up - racing to sign up - for this event. But there's too few
"people in the know". Everyone reading this can help change that.
