This was our inaugural event at Wears Valley Ranch in Sevierville, TN. What a great facility! The folks at the ranch really worked overtime to finish everything in the last two weeks before this event. Coke Guy, the BOTG at the ranch and Johnny Reb turned in their IIT1 PC and Red Niva (Morpehus' daughter) worked like a champ to earn her Red Hat! ^:)^
We had a great turn-out for a mid-week event! We had 15 shooters on the line Tuesday. Many of them were young/new shooters and everybody did really well. We didn't hand out any Rifleman patches, but we had some shooters who got really close. Will, one of our young shooters ended Wednesday with a 150, in spite of some equipment problems. Bob J. shot a 195 and there were a few others in the 175 range. Remember: a Rifleman persists! Everybody expressed a willingness to come to another event, so we look forward to seeing them again on the line!
If anyone has pictures, please post them.

I had the privilege of joining Hannah's dad, Morpheus, in awarding her the much deserved Red Hat.

Wears Valley Ranch sounds familiar. Did a gentleman from there attend our indoor Appleseed in Lexington, KY in January 2013?

He did indeed. He's now an orange hat forum name CokeGuy.
