Short answer, no Appleseeds in Eureka KS.
Next shoot close to there, that I know of is Tusla, April 20,21.
Also, Pittsburg KS, April 20,21.

Ben Fox is not in Appleseed anymore.  Him and most of the old Kansas guys are doing USRA now.  I have no idea if USRA is doing anything at Eureka.  As far as I know, there hadn't even been an Appleseed there for years.  I love the place though -- it is where I cut my teeth as an orange hat back in '09.  You won't find a nicer guy than the man who owns the place.  He was in bad health back when I was there... I hope he is doing OK.  One time, he overheard me saying to someone in passing that I had always wanted to shoot a K31.  He hops in his jeep and drives up to the house, and next thing you know he is walking onto the firing line with a K31 and a battle pack of ammo!  What a guy!

Hi folks! Derek Rand is coordinating the Appleseed in Pittsburg April 20 & 21 but has had some kind of computer problem preventing him from accessing the forum. We look forward to having any and all comers in Pittsburg.
