So.  We're NOT doing our housework this weekend.  Nope.  But we decided to take care of the laundry the Appleseed way...

So here is the Appleseed Laundry Line:






And this is the way we do laundry at Appleseed:

What an awesome first day! Everyone came out wanting and willing to listen. All shooters improved a lot and I can't wait for tomorrow...well except for the nasty ticks! I believe there were 17 ticks on us by the end of the day.

Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."
---Robert Anson Heinlein

What a great day!    

The Range was BEAUTIFUL!  Surrounded by trees with a nice shelter area.  Thank you to the Hinckley Conservation Club for hosting this All-Women's Appleseed.

You can get some orange plastic tick pickers at a pet store. They work great.
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add "within the limits of the law" because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.  Thomas Jefferson

For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.  H. L. Mencken

I saw this thread last night and for whatever reason, didn't comment at the time.

My comment? Abso-freaking-lutely brilliant. Someone's a marketing genius.

Love it.

Blessings,

I don't mean to say I told you so. But..... ::)
Guess you're gonna set up the next All-Women's shoot, right?
Awesome!  Thanks! O0


After setting up, Saturday morning, I knew the ladies of Minnesota would be in for a treat.
It was with great pains that I peeled myself away.  Much harder than I anticipated.  :'(
Not that I felt they would be lacking my services, or that they needed anything else. 
And before someone makes a remark, NO, it wasn't that either!
I've never left an Appleseed of any kind, early.  Let alone an Appleseed so close to home.
But, alas, I was banned!  The shoot was in good hands anyway! Did the rain hold off?

Those T-Shirts look to be an excellent idea!  Hmmm....  I wonder what a TV target would look like on there....
Leave it to the ladies, they'll come up with something great!  (Then we change it a little, and claim it as our own! >:D)
Heck, that's better than posting targets arround town!

Well, I'll guess I should sit back and wait for the rest of the story!

All the juicy detals please.....

I was only able to make it for Sunday so I didn't know what to expect from the women -- AMAZING! Don't think I've ever seen a group of shooters so intent on finding their NPOA's before firing the first shot during slow fire! Every single shooter was open to instruction and there were some AWESOME groups!

Thank you to the Instructors for guiding these lovely ladies in the fine art of shooting.

Nothing is more beautiful than Dangerous Women!
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

- Col. Cooper, The Art of the Rifle

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
