OK.
I have space for 15 shooters on the line.
I will get in touch with KrisAnne Hall to see if we can get her to attend.
I will also be attempting to feed the ladies. lunch both days, and, if I can get KrisAnne, supper saturday to give her a chance to speak with the ladies.
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.

I'm in for sure.  If you can get KrisAnne, that will be icing on the cake. 

Amy, Smoak's range is in Melrose, which is up near Gainesville.  I'm looking forward to meeting you!  This should be an exciting event!

The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation.  Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government. - Francis Grund 1837

I have discussed this event with my wife and she wants to attend.  ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^

She went to a regular Appleseed event with me a few years ago and did not really like it.  :(  I have tried to get her to go back to an event but had been unsuccessful. The Ladyseed is just what I needed to get her to go back to Appleseed. :)

Ok ladies, no more banter,
it is up,
get to TIPS and sign up lady instructors! ~~:)
Lady shooters that have read this thread spots are limited get on Even Brite ASAP to secure your spot on the line and be Part of History.
The First Annual All Ladies SMOAKINGUNSEED!
I am the Default Shoot Boss for this event Trisha has shown interest, She is a SR instructor and has much experience running Ladyseeds in other State's. So we are going to have a great oppourtunity to meet movers and shakers from all over a great chance to cross pollinate our program to ensure continuity from state to stae as all events should be run the same in principle.
But you also need innovative new ideas to keep things fresh and exciting with out changing the core principles.
That's why we are putting this together,to continually improve our program with out compromising the Spirit of Appleseed.
I am Honored just to be allowed at the event as I am sure it will be a solid learning experience.
I am getting excited and can't wait! ..:..
Maybe someone should invite FRED so you can show off for him!
In Liberty,

P.S. Ladies this is your event, I am simply keeping the Shoot Boss chair warm,If you want it to happen at this event mention it and make it happen don't sit around and wait or it may never get done.

Some things to consider when teaching a ladyseed...in no particular order...

Make sure to bring:
Extra toilet paper
Hand sanitizer
Baby wipes (if you don't have running water)
Dish soap (gets the greasy stuff off your hands)
Nail clippers (keep reading for why)

Before snacks / lunch explain proper hand / face washing.
For those who may not be aware.
1. Wash with cold water and soap.
2. Wash again with warm water and soap.
3. Rinse with cold water.
4. Wipe the inside of mouth and nose with cool water moistened paper towel.

Other (perhaps) helpful tips:
If possible when you post AQTs alternate gray and red. Helps cut down on cross fires.
First aid for broken nail. Clip short, wash and antiseptic ointment if bleeding (glove up first), put a bandaid on, wrap with vet wrap. This is if it breaks low enough that it gets to the nail bed...which does happen when shooting.
Try to keep shooters side conversation on topic. Otherwise you'll end up with 20 of the best sweet potato recipes (which is not a bad thing at all, but wastes time).

Evening Ya'll!  My other half reminded me I had to check in and get signed up, so fix in' to do so.  About Sly and Terry being man slaves....hhmmmm... did Amazons have carbines?

Sly still open to help cook, etc. or bring things. I will probably commute or go sleep on the cat (RG, yup, did it, bought a 50' cat and she is above St. Augustine).  COB wants to mount two on the corners for zombies...

Thanks for getting this together. Are we doing special t-shirts? Let me know if you need help on this, I found a great company just did reunion shirts with, just got back from Zion-Grand Canyon-Lake Powell-Glen Canyon-Bryce in 4 (yes, 4) days!

There are special ladyseed tshirts that the SB will bring to this AS.  ;D

The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
