When you get access to the MO Board, please let us know. Greybeard will give us marching orders soon. We had a great year in 2009, and this year we are really going to have to work to keep improving!
Let's go Missouri! We can't have those guys next door in IL making us look bad.
Also, if you can make it, plan on being online for the Appleseed Muster on Tuesday, Feb 2nd, 7pm. We will be discussing our 2010 plans and what we need to do this year.
See you then!
Greg
Greg,
I'm on the Mo state site.

I've been able to see the state boards. I'll probably do Williamstown, MO or Alton, IL on April 17-18.
Present and voting. I'll be on a plane on Tuesday night, so I won't be able to join in on the muster.

Doh... Didn't realize you were on the KS side of KC, which is why I added you. Yes, there should be a KS board as well, but I haven't gotten to that yet. That's ok, you are more than welcome here.
Greg
MamaBear present! GO MISSOURI ^:)^ O0
Okay, Greg, my 03A3 and I are here.
Howard
A enthusiastic not-yet-rifleman reporting. Is it spring yet?
Cookie Lady checking in. Time to get things going for 2010!
Here I is.

Not here exactly. Just across the Des Moines River though in Keokuk. Grew up 10 miles from Williamstown & intend to download/ distribute flyers for April AS. Had a great time there last year.
Checking in as requsted.
Will try and make the Muster.

New to the board but I'll be watching. I will try to be online on Tuesday night but I can't make any promises. Hoping to make the pilgrimage from STL to Osage beach in April or May. It will be my first Appleseed but I would love to contribute.

Welcome to the board and to Appleseed! Being in STL, the biggest contribution you could currently make to Appleseed and Missouri is to find us a range in the STL area that we can host an Appleseed. An actual range or private land doesn't matter, we just need 25m and a good backstop, and we will bring Appleseed to YOU!
STL is the largest population center in the state and it is a shame that we don't have a place to shoot in that area. By all means come to Osage as it is a fantastic place to shoot, and we will have lots of shoots there this year, but we desperately need someplace to shoot in STL. Most of us are on the KC side of the state, which has made it really difficult to find a place, so as a local you have a huge advantage.
Greg
Dug'in checking in, will be on Feb 2.
I will see what I can do. I do almost all of my shooting on state land or at the state run shooting ranges. I got yelled at a couple months ago for even attempting to hang an AQT target. I haven't been to either one of them, but you might want to try Benchrest out in Wright City or Arnold Rifle and Pistol Club. Both are within 45 minutes or so of the city. http://www.shootingstl.com/home.htm and http://www.arpc-idpa.com/index.htm.
I'm in. I should be on tomorrow night for the muster too.
Here's to arriving late for the party. ..:..
Haven't been shooting much lately. Have to renew membership at the Arnold Rifle & Pistol Club range.
As mentioned, it is a very nice range, developed and maintained by members and well known in the area.
It's also a very busy range; they host frequent Cowboy shoots in addition to other competitions---constantly. Parking will be a problem, just not enough room to get all that would conceivably attend an AS on range owned land--in addition to their club/dues paying member shooters and any competition shooters for a scheduled event. Yes, the range is that expansive!
Since it's adjacent to a busy state/county road I'm 'guessing' that parking along that road would present a real hazard. The city and county would not like that at all.
No hard facts, just a WAG.
If, we could find suitable parking, their BOD would likely consider a motion for an AS...again, a WAG. I think, there's room enough to host an AS along with another event...depends on event needs for range.
For my personal shooting preference, the Osage Beach range is perfect. A bit far from STL and requires a weekend commitment but it's such a beautiful setting and our hosts there are extremely gracious. Another upside to the Osage location is BBQ comin' and goin'!
Found my way here!
Kevyn....I can smoke up some pretty mean ribs and my 6 hour brisquet is to die for, so BBQ comin', goin' and while Appleseeding O0
Could a tummy ever be happier?
Howdy, it's Dean - aka deanomosquito --finally catching up after: Spending the MOST patriotic dollars in my life by attending the fine Appleseed at Pioneer back in November-2009 -- I was the Yugo SKS shooter and, yes Greg and incredible crew- I've now got my CMP H&R-A M1 Garand-- with a lot of 'character' in the wood--and parkerizing that's been cleaned and cleaned and cleaned off!! Got each of my sons one of the Springfield Specials-- GOOD LOOKIN' M1s!! brand new wood! with CMP proof marks and really good looking Springfield 5.6-million range s/n's set in the new wood!
Sorry I missed all the shooting and rain that Sunday-- my brother and I are pencilling in the April Appleseed - if we can pull it together- there will be seven of us with m1s on the line!
I also transferred to St. Louis area with my job- so I need to change my address information with y'all!!
Thanks again for a great-great event last November!
deanomosquito
M1, or FN-49???? which should I bring...
Wanted to let everyone know I'm still around and in StL, just been busy with work, grad school, and a 8 month old.
Dean/SpeakPlain,
SInce you are both in STL now, your mission is to find us a place to shoot near the STL metro. Currently, the closest shoot to you is probably Williamstown. I will be there for the April shoot, and we will have a great time! But in order to tap into that huge population center, we need a closer location.
I will also be at the April Pioneer Shoot (Bates City). Bring whatever you like. I love to have real rifles on the line, but they can get pricey to shoot the whole weekend.
Greg
I'm new to this forum and to Appleseed and already looking forward to attending my first event.
Welcome aboard Grandpa! Hope we see you on the line soon!
Greg
I'm here wishing I could make the Osage Beach and reunite with everyone but i'm living back in Minnesota and am Broke so no trip for me sorry :( but will keep updating and one day will make it back down.
No worries samj... MN has a good Appleseed program running up there, with some good folks keeping it going. Hook up with them and you will be fine.
Greg
Don't worry; she'll fall in line. ;)

Hello to MO Appleseeders!
Ozark Hiker here from Independence, MO
Planning on attending the Apr 3-4th Bates City shoot, first Appleseed, so am excited to participate. Look forward to meeting a few of you there.
Larry - Ozark Hiker
Ozark Hiker,
I grew up in Independence. 1st graduating class at Truman HS. Living in Lee's Summit now.
Is April 3 & 4 your first Appleseed? If so, you are going to have a blast. Take plenty of ammo and some elbow pads.
It will be my 3rd Appleseed shoot. Got a patch at the first one, but that was with a .22. Gotta do it with the 03A3 Springfield, before I put on an orange hat.
See you there.
Hector

Hector,
Good to see some more KCMO southsiders on the forum. Seems the rest of the instructor corp from the area is North of the river! Whereabouts are you in LS? I'm in Raintree off 150/291.

Near 3rd and 50 Hwy. I know where 150 and 291 are. I go through that intersection at least once a week on my way to my dad's house, in Greenwood.
BTW, did you change your avatar? Seems like it used to be a Swiss K-31. I have 3 of them, one of which may be the most accurate rifle I own.
Howard--a.k.a. HectorFuego
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but I'm seeing a lot of NATO ammo for sale with "mildly corroded cases" will this affect feeding and function in an m1a?
watch out all...little sister of ben1775 has arrived 8) aspiring rifleman and IIT! Can't wait to get my orange hat, and hopefully I'll get it this weekend at Osage!!! I will be attending the muster tonight and am very much looking forward to a great Appleseed season. My face will not be an unfamiliar one this year, Missouri. O0 Just be prepared for another Helmich in the instructor corps! :sos: bahaha
