It is supposed to be a multipart article with a piece going online each day. It is also being played on NPR "All things considered" this week, I have not had a chance to listen but I will know when the podcasts are ready.

Nice I like it, Kate is my new Appleseed hero  O0 O0 O0 O0 O0

"That was something that Kate Bixler learned after she became involved in Project Appleseed, a national marksmanship organization that holds dozens of training events in Indiana every year.

Kate, 15, New Palestine, is an instructor with Appleseed. When she was younger, she used to go to firing ranges with her family.

"You know, looking back, I'm just like 'oh my goodness.'  Before Appleseed, I wasn't that safe. We'd just carry rifles on our shoulders all the time, and you know, have them loaded and everything else."

Kate doesn't hunt, but she has been shooting at targets since age 9. The first day she showed up at a Project Appleseed shoot, the instructors recognized her talent and recommended she become a trainer.

She says riflery teaches personal responsibility. "It's a sport, but unlike team sports, you're not relying on everyone else. It's solely yourself and your accomplishments," she said."


Well done Kate
