Hey ARJIS,

Glad to meet you.  What shoots have you been to in GA?

Raymon

[Appalacious]

Hey yall.

Hey, I wanna hear more from Col Barrett about the boy scout troop that wants to host an appleseed.  i think we should jump on that.

[Don Pablo]

checked in     north ga

[TheEagleKeeper]

Hey Ramon,

I have not attended any shoots as of yet. I have been in Georgia just over a year now. Frank Tobia in WV turned me on to what you guys are up to and about. I am stoked about hooking up with ya'll

Hey ARJIS,

Glad to meet you.  What shoots have you been to in GA?

Raymon

[sanderman79]

I agree. I would like to help do that.  It would really have to be a mini though. the boy scout have different rules about rifles though.  We would have to check on that.

[Son of Martha]

ARJIS--keep watching the PMs here, I think you will have incoming from Flathead.  (Shoot Boss in Toccoa.)

What area GA are you?


Don Pablo--welcome.  What area are you in?

SoM

[Appalacious]

Sanderman, Why would it have to be a mini?

ARJIS, have you been to any Appleseeds elsewhere?

Don Pablo, how about you?

[sanderman79]

Hey ARJIS,

Well welcome come joins us whenever you can. We are gonna have at least 8 shoots this year and we are working on more.  Where are you in GA?

Raymon

[sanderman79]

Hey J,

It could be a full weekend, but might be easier for doing a mini for a day or a 2 day mini.  They could always come to a AS.  What do you think

Raymon

[Appalacious]

I'd be open to either I guess.  They'd probably ask us to help out at one of their summer camps down my way, actually.  I'd like that

I just think the BSA is a perfect fit for Appleseed.  They may require us to be NRA certified, though.  Do we have any?

[sanderman79]

As far as I know they are not NRA, my brother was a teacher at a summer camp.  I will ask him

[Appalacious]

Dude, Sanderman,  we gots to go over the COF for Hawk'ville.   and everytime you see the word "SoM" strike it out!!!!  That leaves alot of stuff to assign to people

Also, split up the 3 strikes?  or all at once?

[Son of Martha]

If they need it, we will get someone who has it.  There are many AS instructors who also are NRA cert'd.

Good to see y'all on.  Called Flathead, if he doesn't show up we need to give him a hard time....

SoM

[sanderman79]

that sounds good.  I would like to get NRA certs just to have it.  We can go over it, but have to see if anybody else signs up for SB.  We should work on it anyway.  I am going back and forth about the history I will think about it.  What do you think?

[Appalacious]

I think we should split it up, personally.   SoM can pull it off, but he's "special"

[TheEagleKeeper]

Hey All, Thanks, I am in Duluth Georgia..

[Troubleshooter]

Present, but only briefly due to workplace firewall. This site is restricted, have to check in on my break.

[Son of Martha]

Ya know, I had a good history session by accident at Toccoa, where I was gonna tell the entire story up front and ran too long up front.  I then split it after the second strike, and did the Paul Harvey "rest of the story" thing.  Worked out really well that evening.

There is still plenty of experimenting as to how to tell the story.  Just keep in mind the first objective of an Appleseed...

Welcome Troubleshooter.  Where are you?

SoM

[Appalacious]

ARJIS and Troubleshooter (cool name), Try to find the "So Where is Everyone" thread here in the GA section.  I can ping your town that way.

[franklinfarmer]

Hey, I'm sort of here.  I seem to have been unable to register for the radio thing...but I listened for a while.  There was Dinky on the speaker.

[Appalacious]

Signing off guys, (but will check in during LOST commercials )

[sanderman79]

glad to hear from you all.  So Ron what is Appleseed's first objective? I would say to wake up our fellow Americans, I don't mind being wrong though.

[Son of Martha]

That's it--to wake up the sleeping 'Murikens and encourage them to act like the Americans they should be.

Secondly is to make riflemen.

The purpose and reason for the whole program is to save the country.  That means many things to people, but all paths lead in the same general direction.

This is also why we don't get wrapped around the axle "iceberg spotting"--we need people bailing instead.  Or maybe a better analogy:  Politics is about the weather, Appleseed is about climate change.

C.S. Lewis wrote about the "Spirit of the Age".  We are doing a makeover for it...

SoM

[AndyCraig]

Checking in for a sec. Gotta run. I'll catch up on tonight's goings-ons later.

Blame that "Goose" character. He invited me. 

[sanderman79]

Welcome all.  I am so glad to hear from old friends and to meet new friends.

[Son of Martha]

AndyCraig--welcome.

Goose-Yup, met him a time or two.  Appleseed in action.  Go thou and do likewise.

We have a country to save, and it's FUN doing it!

SoM

[AndyCraig]

I bounced back onto the PC just for a sec because I had an idea- anybody interested in doing a meet-n-greet one of these days? I think I saw a map with a fair amount of folks not far from me in Roswell. Maybe get some eats and do some range time? I'm averaging range time about 1.5 times a year, which is pretty sad. Maybe Panell's in Woodstock or American Classic Marksman in Norcross? Idunno.

Of course my true love is the rifle. Maybe on a Saturday meet at a WMA range after meet-n-greet? My favorite is Wilson Shoals WMA shooting range above Gainesville.

This probably belongs in a new thread but I didn't see the option for me to post, only reply, so far. Admins- please feel free to move it as needed. Thanks!

Another thread I would start if I could- reloading. I just got started. Anybody want to swap war stories or pass along some sage advice? LOL!

OK. I really gotta go now...
