Charlotte, NC - Sept. 12-13

[ThePoet]

What a perfect weekend for an Appleseed!  We couldn't have had better weather.  Cloudy and unseasonably comfortable on Saturday with bright sunshine, low humidity, and temperatures in the mid-70s on Sunday.  This was our third event at the Action Shooting Facility (ASF) ranges at Charlotte Rifle & Pistol Club and the first where we needed to utilize two bays.  Thank you to our shooters for their patience on Saturday morning as we dealt with a crowded line.  With 25 shooters, it would have been a little tight and in the interest of safety and everyone's comfort, we moved a handful of shooters to the adjacent bay.  Congratulations to Aaron M. for re-qualifying with a 222 on the AQT.  Maura M. was able to re-qualify as well.  We are pleased that both Aaron and Maura took Orange hats as Instructors in Training.

We had a number of new shooters on the line and it was our pleasure to spend extra time working on fundamentals at a comfortable pace.  Mike M. shot several AQTs in the low 200s and ended the day on Sunday with a 208.  Very close to that Rifleman patch.  We hope you'll join us again in November.  Congratulations to Robby M. for shooting an impressive 236 and earning his Rifleman patch.  Robby, we hope you'll join us in November and take an Orange hat.

Many thanks to Thaddeus and Cousin Hart for traveling to help us out.  It was a pleasure to work with you both.

Our next event at CRPC will be November 7-8.  We hope to see all of you again!

What a great weekend at CRPC again! I am very lucky to be working with such a strong instructor corps.

We had a lot of brand new shooters and they all did great.
It just proves that if you come with a "teachable attitude" your level of experience doesn't matter.
Hope to see them all out again, I think we have a few more riflemen (and women) trying to break through!

I had a great time this weekend.  Weather was great and all the shooters were happy and excited.  We couldn't have asked for a better group of people to work with this weekend.

Congrats to Phil as a new Shoot Boss.

and Congrats to Aaron and Maura on getting their Orange hats!!!
Well done guys and gals!
