Hi Everyone

A few Calgunners attended an Appleseed on the 19th and here is the thread discussing the event.
Enjoy the video's - I loved the Cadence drill that is some serious drilling  :)

The video's would be AWESOME for a Gun Show Booth we can bring out a large screen laptop and show the fun, are there any other videos out there?

Was this a video that you made?

I'd like to pass this onto the WL-X promotions team to see if we can use this nationally but first have to make sure that the person who made it gives the ok. I'm not yet sure what we will do with it but I'll get some marketing masterminds cracking on it ASAP!

Can you PM me so we can discuss it a little more?

Who was the LB?  I would like to drive up and do an AS and see this first hand.  Very enjoyable.

Oh, I asked the Calgunner and he is OK with the Appleseed using his video's

Just as an FYI, last year ATSN did an hour-long documentary of an Appleseed at Piru.  I've got a copy, Camljr. has a couple of copies.  It came out great.

Is Calgunner the person who shot the video, Is pictured shooting, or both? We could definitely use these or parts of these for promotions. Just want to make sure we are squared away with permission from the appropriate people.

Hi

Let me help.

Calguns = California based Gun/Shooting Community forum
Calgunner = describes a member of the Calguns forum
I, asked the owner of the video's yesterday what his feeling where on sharing the videos for Appleseed use.
He was OK.  I can send you his approval, or better yet, just create an acct on the Calguns forum and send the owner a PM, I can do the intro if you would like.
let me know

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."  one who has not qualified himself with the M-16 may not be considered to be a responsible citizen."

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in

well i attended my first appleseed shoot on feb 19 and 20.  well originally i was gonna shoot stone cobra carbine 2.5 but i had limited funds and i had to help my family move on 20th.  i decided to sign up for a 1 day appleseed.  after the first day, i said to myself "screw moving. i'm attending the second day."  best decision i've made on both accounts.

appleseed turned out to be one of the greatest classes i've been to.  i highly recommend to anybody interested in learning marksmanship and about american history.  all i can really say is, it's an experience.  i'm not really good at after-action reports, so here's some videos.  enjoy!!!
