Neither rain nor snow nor massive clouds of wind-blown pollen kept our intrepid Appleseeders from having a fine weekend in Charlotte. We welcomed eight shooters, including three under 18, and awarded three Rifleman patches (Rick, Pike and Simeon) in addition to gaining appreciation for the hearts and minds in which the American Revolution was won and for the the day the Revolutionary War started exactly 251 years ago. Congrats to IIT Doug who requalified with a Distinguished score.

-2Cor10:4-5. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, & bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

-Eph6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world forces of this moral darkness and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

We were trying to convince Neil to declare this a "pollen-seed" similar to a winterseed but he wasn't having it.
What a tremendous group but seeing clouds of pollen coming off the long needle pines was something different to be sure.
Great times though with a great group.
