I attended my very first Appleseed event just this last weekend, came home with a sore neck, a stiff back and aching bones, the experience is just phenomenal. I have learned (more like corrected by) the proper techniques in rifle shooting by a group of fantastic instructors. The history sessions made me more appreciative on what we have been enjoying today but been taking things for granted (by the way.. I grew up in a British colony myself :-))
Kudos to the Shoot Boss (Pat), the Instructors (Bill, Peter, Jeff, Andy, ... in no particular order... and some names that I have forgotten) for their uber patience and mastery teaching to us noobs. It was one heck of weekend well spent!
I do want to attend another Appleseed, will try to bring my wife and kids too. (btw, this is "Lew")
THANK YOU, APPLESEED!
Lew, it was truly a pleasure meeting and working with you this weekend. You took instruction extremely well, you payed attention, asked questions, and applied what you learned. I sincerely hope our paths cross again in the near future, hopefully with you having an orange hat on your head! Best,
-Peter
