Another weekend at Yanceyville with NO MUD.  Two in a row.  Hope I didn't just jinx the shoot next month. 

A great crew shared a weekend that could only have been improved with a little less wind.  Tim made rifleman on his first ever AQT and shot a 242 on Sunday.  Congratulations TIM.  There's one less cook in the family now.  (that's a hint to Natale)

Our shooters came from as far away as Birmingham AL and as close as Greensboro.  NeilR drove up from Charlotte to help as an IIT and stayed with some of the other shooters at the cabins located next to the range.  Our thanks also goes to Dana who supports Appleseed by providing her facility for our use and fixing a breakfast for thoes that stay.  What a deal. 

Hope some of the group can post photos.  Thanks to all who helped make this happen.

This event being my first Appleseed proved a fantastic outing with my daughter. I'm sure she will return to trade in her apron. BZ to Bulkhead and Neal for a great course of instruction and camaraderie. And for all the other guys in attendance, I can see how our like minds could form lifelong friendships.

Way to go Bulkhead. Yancyville is a range under construction for those that haven't been there. the facility are in place but the range is new.  Maybe the local fire department can hose it down for you. This photo is from the 01/2009 Appleseed, cold and mud.

Hello Bulkhead,

I was the shooter from Birmingham. Me and 4 other friends were thinking about a trip in April 2011 to 3rd degree tactical for an Apple Seed shoot but did not see it on the Apple Seed schedule. Is that location no longer an option? And if is not, which locations will you be teaching in that time frame? Thanks.

Hi, I was the IIT working that day.  Unfortunately, that location is no longer an option.  It is not on the schedule yet, but there will be an AS in Charlotte, NC the weekend of March 26-27.

Thanks Neil! My friend and I had a great time last year. We were the ones that stayed at the cabin at the range. I'll see if the guys want to go to the one in Charlotte that you mentioned.
