O0 There are few better weekends than having 19 Young Marines at the range eager to learn marksmanship and American history!  Quite an amazing group.  It was great having every one of you out on the line and I'm hoping we'll see everyone back at a future Appleseed as you work towards the Rifleman patch. 

Well, at long last...  First, some pics of our two lines showing off their marksmanship! 











On Saturday, Appleseed Lunch Theater (tm) did not fail to disappoint with Hammer Forged bringing everyone into the story! 





The Concord Minutemen making ready to march off to meet the Redcoats!



A young "Isaac Davis" begins to learn of his fate... 



One more, just because muskets are cool! 


Speaking of muskets, our very own local Dangerous Old Man made an appearance Sunday to show just how a flintlock works and let some of our students try out getting lead on target the old fashioned way! 





I think about everyone would have taken a turn (or two) shooting the 'Bess, but there were AQT's still to be shot.  However... 



















We even found someone to join Morgans Men, using an actual smoothbore!  Huzzah!   ^:)^
