Agreed - very appreciative to everyone that helped us get to where we are (& I know we're not done yet  ~~:)).  I've got several friends planning on the March Waco shoot; I guess I have to be at the top of my game!

Congratulations to both of you Jason (AF5US) and Dan (TxRebel)! You all had mad skills during the IBC and it was evident that you were comfortable with the material and excellent instructors. Well done and Texas Appleseed is the better for it.

Congrats from your neighbours to the north!

Thanks Steck!

I think that we both prove that we can overcome unfortunate challenges in life, like originally hailing from a certain firearms-restrictive state  ;D

Congrats guys!  Well deserved! 

It was awesome working with you at the IBC, TxRebel, even though your PoIs put mine to shame :)

Mapleseed is rolling along.  We are looking at putting on 8 events this year, with people demanding more every day!

Thanks Kevin. I had a good time at the IBC with you. I'm excited to hear that maple seed is picking up monumentum. I met a guy in Arizona who was from Toronto yesterday and was telling him about maple seed. Anxious for updates as your guys program progresses
