    Folks, we got in both magazines this Sept!

    Look on P. 20 in the American Rifleman, where you'll find some fine seventh-stepping by Spartan, a member here, who simply sent an email to the editor complementing him for the "excellent articles" in the prior issue - and making sure to mention not only Appleseed, but the website address!

     A double  O0  O0!

     Then, about P. 8 of this month's American Hunter, I received the following:

QuoteHowdy Folks,
Jerry Hall here. I just received the American Hunter, Volume 38, Number 9, September 2010. On Page# 8 in the "Saysyou" section is a response on the article on rifle marksmanship ("How to Hit the Mark", July 2010) in which a "Rifleman", Ebben Raves from Germantown, Tenn, wrote " ...I was able to get some great instruction at an Appleseed Project weekend clinic (www.appleseedinfo.org).(AS info in red). I learned more in two days than the entire 10 years I was in the Army...".
I believe a great debt of gratitude goes out to Mr.Raves for hos excellent response and for placing a big bucket in our hands with which to bail. Now it's up to us to bail harder and faster!
Also a grateful Thanks to J. Scott Olmsted (Editor in Chief of American Rifleman) for including us in this reply.
Enthusiastically,
Jerry Hall

     Another great job! (Note again the website address.)

     What about it, do-nothings? You heard the man, jump on in...

I'll be damned!  That's the first 'letter to the editor' I ever had printed.

"I believe a great debt of gratitude goes out to Mr.Raves for hos excellent response and for placing a big bucket in our hands with which to bail." 

-You don't owe me anything, except maybe a shoot boss for Como in Sept.
Ignorance may be bliss, but it's not a virtue.

I just got my issue today, and noticed the letter immediately when I saw the Applesed web address in RED in the middle of the page.  Good for Mr. Raves and his sons.
