Shooter is a Tar Heel and F3 Churham Legend that I have had the honor of knowing for virtually my entire nearly two decades in Chapel Hill. The answer was a quick “YES”, when he approached YHC recently about succeeding him as the site Q for the Kenan (formerly Fetzer) AO. Shooter is a prolific author about Tar Heel Athletics, (Specifically Football) as well as the University at Large and the beautiful game of golf. Shooter is the relatively rare Sexagenarian in Churham, who still can bring it and crush all of the PAX in a work out. Shooter carried the (formerly Fetzer) #kenan Shovel Flag since 11/25/13 as the third AO in Chapel Hill – after Rameses and Bastille…
YHC had the privilege of being at the receiving end of a number of those workouts and had the Q for YHC’s first work out more than 5 years ago. Shooter loved a campus tour – (as much as a heavy metal circuit and a romp around his (our) beloved Kenan Stadium – so YHC was planning to lead the PAX on a Physically Distant Campus Tour and helping everyone get a good start to the next six week spring challenge.

Mosey to the Old Well for a partner relay….Two of the Pax instructed the remaining Pax to do an exercise while those two Pax ran to the front steps of the South Building for a Crawl Bear up and Bear Crawl down the steps. The Pax completed roughly 20 reps of the following:
LBCs

We had just enough time to head to “Shooter’s Hill” for a quick bear crawl down – 10 hand release merkins and 10 Plank Walk outs, then an “all ya got” sprint up the hill on back to the startex.
We finished up with a Shooter Classic – Freddie Mercury x 25 IC.
YHC expressed being overwhelmed with recent events and the continued violence that was sparked recently in our country recently with the murder of another unarmed black man in the hands of police. YHC put Stop Drop and Roll on the spot and asking for the insight he so articulately conveys and he was up to the task sharing insight about listening and focusing on your sphere’s of influence.
The 21 Day Challenge Subprime had shared with the group https://myersparkpres.org/project/better-when-were-back-together/

It was great to be back with the PAX and it’s an honor to serve an AO so special to YHC and Shooter. The Q Sheet is open!
Aye!
