My apologies for the delay in this post, I spent the last several days in drug-induced la-la land due to my 4 herniated lumbar discs and multi-level spinal stenosis...  Hey, let's look at it from the positive side: I have one lumbar disc that is NOT herniated!!!  It could be worse!
What an awesome Appleseed event!!  Oversold and had to turn people away due to safety concerns...
Incredible weather and incredibly receptive students!  Jeff & Isaac, Andy and Mary Ann, Mary and Daniel, JR and Susan and Jacob, Andi and Chris, Jason and Anne and Tyler and Aaron!!!  Michele and Mike and Abby, Luke and Stacy, Ethan, Bennet and Adam and I'm sure I'm missing others....
Beautiful weather, enthusiastic students and a generous spread of instructors that compensated for the distractions of my screaming pain.  The comfort of knowing that many others are stepping up to take my place if I end up incapacitated by the injuries incurred by service to my country and by the ordinary stupid decisions of a teenager...
Please post your thoughts, observations, photos and random mumblings regarding this most blessed event!!!

Thank you to everyone who came to the Winona Sportsman's Club to practice our perishable marksmanship skills! Tell your friends about Project Appleseed and bring some friends to your next Appleseed weekend.
Let them know about the 6 steps to firing the shot.  Check out the Rochester MN, Holmen WI, and Chaseburg WI ranges at an Appleseed weekend.
