I'll be there but have a few experiments to conduct at the class III ranges. Will stop by to say hello.

Ned, I just checked the rulebook online, and the only prohibition I could find for the outdoor ranges was no exploding targets are allowed. Looks like tracers are OK.I picked up a boresnake at Blue Northern yesterday and they had some 5.56 tracers, I had to pick up a box, it won't be very dark at 5 but I figured they would be cool to try out. Assuming there is no problem using them at the range, I'll check the rulebook.
30 pre-registered so far.
Figure somewhere around 10 to 15 walk-ons, for a total of 40-45.
The pre-registered numbers are of this morning.

Is it OK if I stop by and say Hi?
Sure! Like Ned said, just sign the waiver. Or heck, bring a few bucks and sign up as a walkin. Should be some loaner rifles around if needed. (Or are you going to shoot 500 rounds of .500 Magnum out of that carbine? )Is it OK if I stop by and say Hi?
Right now Roger and I (and our respective spice, and my niece) are tentatively planning to show up at 7:30 or so... How accurate is that 15 minute setup time? Should we make it earlier?Just finished packing the Canopy into the truck (25 poles, 8 concrete footings, big box of fittings, and the MONSTER tarp...) Sure hope someone is there early to help/show me where to set it up. (^_^)

Not that anybody's going to read this in time, but here goes nothing.

RIFLEMAN!
LOC-TITE EVERYTHING!!!
I had a great time at the Appleseed this weekend. My highest score of the weekend was a 192. With what I know now, I'll definitely be knocking at the door of rifleman when I shoot the AQT again with fresh eyes. Big thanks to everyone who helped make this happen, especially Nickle, who ran the shoot and Jim, who ran the rimfire line most of the weekend. I made a lot of progress this weekend thanks to the top notch instruction. I highly recommend the appleseed program to anyone who wants to get some decent skill with a rifle.
