Fellow North Carolinians: We have the honor of hosting a Rifleman's Boot Camp (https://appleseedinfo.org/rifle-bootcamp/) at the Appleseed home range in Ramseur October 19-24. An RBC is an unforgettable five days of rifle and pistol instruction, known distance shooting, history, and camaraderie! You can register for your tickets here (https://appleseedinfo.org/citizen/?registerlink=https://goappleseednow.org/?event=ramseur-nc-appleseed-august-2-3-2025). Onsite camping is included.
I had the pleasure of visiting Ramseur during the boot camp in April this year with my daughters. When they saw the families camping, cooking, shooting on two different ranges, and generally having a grand time one said to me, "It's like Coachella for Appleseed!"
Regular priced tickets for the entire week of awesomeness are just $165 for adults and $65 for kids under 18 years old. As if that wasn't enough of an incredible value, remember that RWVA members get a 35% discount on your Appleseed event ticket. If you invest in that membership it brings the adult ticket for the boot camp down to $107 and a youth ticket to $42. There are also discounts for active law enforcement and military active duty, reserves, and national guard.
If you can carve some time out of your schedule to join in, this is your push to do it! And please pass the word on about this event to someone in your life who would enjoy it. Send me a DM or email me at NC@appleseedinfo.org if you have any questions.

I am a Florida member and I am contemplating attending. Just a matter of shoe horning it into my schedule and obligations. I'll even postpone an obligation or two for the opportunity to participate. I hope to see you all there soon!
That's awesome! I hope it works out for you to join all the way from sunny Florida. Shoot boss Gunjunkie and a few other instructors for that boot camp are also Florida-based. If you have questions about any details, message Gunjunkie (or me) and we can get you pointed in the right direction. It will be great to have you!
Boot Camp at the Home Range is a must-do for every Appleseeder. Great venue and awesome people!
April was a blast! Who's Shoot Boss for this RBC? Is the same crew coming this time around?
gunjunkie is the shoot boss for rbc and R-Mack has the appleseed
Yes, gunjunkie will be shoot boss for the October RBC. There will be other familiar faces from the April event both from the NC and FL instructor cadres.
Looking forward to it!
Looking forward to it. I will be coming in late Sunday afternoon. I have some questions about progress check paperwork.
