So.  We're NOT doing our housework this weekend.  Nope.  But we decided to take care of the laundry the Appleseed way...

So here is the Appleseed Laundry Line:

And this is the way we do laundry at Appleseed:

What an awesome first day! Everyone came out wanting and willing to listen. All shooters improved a lot and I can't wait for tomorrow...well except for the nasty ticks! I believe there were 17 ticks on us by the end of the day.

What a great day!    

The Range was BEAUTIFUL!  Surrounded by trees with a nice shelter area.  Thank you to the Hinckley Conservation Club for hosting this All-Women's Appleseed.

You can get some orange plastic tick pickers at a pet store. They work great.

I saw this thread last night and for whatever reason, didn't comment at the time.

My comment? Abso-freaking-lutely brilliant. Someone's a marketing genius.

Love it.

Blessings,
Bill

I don't mean to say I told you so. But..... ::)
Guess you're gonna set up the next All-Women's shoot, right?
Awesome!  Thanks! O0


After setting up, Saturday morning, I knew the ladies of Minnesota would be in for a treat.
It was with great pains that I peeled myself away.  Much harder than I anticipated.  :'(
Not that I felt they would be lacking my services, or that they needed anything else. 
And before someone makes a remark, NO, it wasn't that either!
I've never left an Appleseed of any kind, early.  Let alone an Appleseed so close to home.
But, alas, I was banned!  The shoot was in good hands anyway! Did the rain hold off?

Those T-Shirts look to be an excellent idea!  Hmmm....  I wonder what a TV target would look like on there....
Leave it to the ladies, they'll come up with something great!  (Then we change it a little, and claim it as our own! >:D)
Heck, that's better than posting targets arround town!

Well, I'll guess I should sit back and wait for the rest of the story!

All the juicy detals please.....

I was only able to make it for Sunday so I didn't know what to expect from the women -- AMAZING! Don't think I've ever seen a group of shooters so intent on finding their NPOA's before firing the first shot during slow fire! Every single shooter was open to instruction and there were some AWESOME groups!

Thank you to the Instructors for guiding these lovely ladies in the fine art of shooting.

Nothing is more beautiful than Dangerous Women!
