The event is in Melrose, Fl. near Gainesville, at the home of Christi and Glen Smoak. I will be extending the existing line and hope to be able to acomodate, at minimum 15 shooters. The house should be done by then and we should have beds available inside, but will still have space in the shop and in the woods for those who would prefer to rough it.
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.

No worries - about this time next year I predict that will no longer be an issue.  ^-^

OK, Sophia, Hannah and Madison - The gauntlet is throwed down. Which one of you fine young ladies will be first to make SB?  ^:)^

Count me in...wouldn't want to miss this truly historic event. Go Florida! Let's see about inspiring other states to do same. How is best way to invite other states to join us here?

Hernando is only shoot in Sept & that is 12 & 13 so let's do a different weekend allowing all Fl  lady instructors & IIT s to come. It would be awesome to have Young Red Niva from GA come as she would be super inspiration to our young IITs. I will pm Dr john to see about getting that ball rolling.

Hi Sly223 and RamboGrandma! Had a blast at NSB Appleseed with Grandma, she was such an inspiration and so much help, even when I got frustrated!  She and her wonderful other half and all the great instructors for the West Volusia Appleseed this last weekend were very appreciated! It was my first AS but won't be the last. My other half is so proud of his new Rifleman's patch!  Sly, please put me on the list for the September Ladyseed if you still have room, I am most interested in coming to the event. Not sure if there is any need, but willing to help cook, etc. as well if you need hands.

We may not be perfect, but we are still the best darn country in the world!

Have a blessed week -

Sounds like a date! Thanks for putting my name on the magic list, and I am thrilled to know Rambo Granny and her great other half are planning on attending. My other half is going to make me a custom rifle for the event...guess I must have improved enough last weekend thanks to RG and the others!

We have another ladies opportunity in dire need of, well, ladies.

On May 16th, Sat, Girls, Guns, & Rods is holding an event and would like us to have a table with rifles for show and tell along with promo materials. Great chance to get more ladies on the line of this Ladyseed. We just need some ladies well acquainted with our mission to talk to attendees and hand out promo materials.

Right now the only shoot we have in September is on the 12-13th in Hernando. I would propose any other weekend but that one. Late September "might" be cooler than earlier. Anyone want to boldly step out and set a date so we can get this on the books or can we just say September 26-27 and git 'er done?

Think the most important is to make sure it is most convenient to the shoot boss and the instructors. We can adapt with enough warning, like good riflemen :)

After an overwhelming outpouring of support for the SEPT. 26-27 date (well, both of you), we have unofficially selected that date as the time of the first Ladyseed in Florida. Until it actually appears on the national schedule it will be unofficial but mark your calendars now. If you are a lady instructor we need you to make this the best Ladyseed in the country. If you are a male instructor, you can come as a man slave/fixer/gopher/fetcher--or in drag. We hope to attract a real lady shoot boss to run this and an all female instructor staff. The location will be announced as soon as the host agreement is finalized and we should have this one on the books in the next week or so.

Folks,

I'll be there with my better half, who is much more charming than I. But I would love to get any available Appleseed women to stop by and help out. I've been asked by the organizers to do a seminar on choosing a gun and cleaning a gun, so we need other folks to man the booth. Besides,  we need GIRLS at an event for Girls & Guns.

Who can come?

The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

-- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003

I will commit to September 26-27 if it's official! I am super excited to attend Floridas first Ladyseed after experiencing Georgia's first. It will be a pleasure to work with and meet all who attend. I'll see if my mother, Gretchen, to come!

"From the desert has come a voice crying in the wilderness, and his name is John. Johnny Drake to be more precise. But ask his disciples and they will tell you his mission is no less defined than the mission of John the Baptist, who first introduced the Light from heaven to the world over two thousand years ago. The multitudes listened to John, who told them that Jesus of Nazareth was the Way to God. Then Herod toke John's head.
  Now the question begs us: Will the world listen to Johnny Drake? And who will take his head?"   Quote from the book, "Sinner" by Ted Dekker
