My name is Derek Parker, and I just attended my first Appleseed shoot in Osage Beach.
It was a week long Rifleman boot camp, and I absolutely loved it. In fact, I enjoyed it so much I decided to take an orange hat when the offer was made.
I am honored to be a part of this program, and am looking forward to meeting all the interesting people involved with this.
I'll be attending the shoot in Alton, Il in November. Hopefully I'll see some familiar faces, and make some new friends as well.
If anyone is in the St. Louis area, and would like to get together and shoot, let me know.
Welcome from down I55 a bit.
Welcome aboard Restless O0
Huzza! You made it onto the forum!
Don't be afraid to ask for help when you get lost in this labyrinth of knowledge.
It happens to the best of us!

Thanks!
Having some experience with the forums in the past, I was pretty surprised how extensive this one is!
Welcome! It was great to meet you and I look forward to working on the line with you soon.
Welcome aboard.
and Thanks for taking up the hat, we refuse no help that is cheerfully offered. O0

Careful Restless, you try to read it all your brain will explode and ooze out your ears :o
Welcome Restless!!! Congrats on the orange hat!! ^:)^ I believe you will wear it well!! O0
You were the epitomy of perseverence this past week at the RBC. You earned that Rifleman patch with great determination. (and a few sore muscles) O0
Are you signed up as an IIT at the Alton shoot??
Looking forward to seeing you "on the trail"!

Hey Derek,
It's good to see you on here and it was good to meet you at the RBC. Congratulations on joining the program.

Thank you all for the kind words.
I would love to sign up as an IIT for the Alton shoot!
Could someone point me in the right direction for making that happen on here?

P.M. instructor scheduling and the shoot boss, who I believe is The Guy at that shoot, requesting to work the shoot.

I'll be the SBIT at Alton, so copy me on that PM as well so I know I can count you in for the weekend. Looking forward to seeing you again Derek. O0

Glad you're on board, Restless. I watched how you persevered at Osage Beach until you achieved your Rifleman score.
Then to watch you take your orange hat after The Guy gave out the invitation, was inspirational.
I have to admit, I too, was a bit overwhelmed with emotion. You and the other orange hats and Riflemen who came out of the RBC are the epitomy of the true American Rifleman.
Welcome aboard to Appleseed and may you have a long, successful run with us.
See you on the trail!
