Appleseed's fantastic relationship with the Jonesboro Shooting Sports Complex continues as they were the host to the 2024 Arkansas/West Tennessee IBC. Folks from both sides of "The River" came out to work on becoming more effective Appleseeders and to enjoy some camaraderie as we get started on the 2024 Appleseed season. Thank you to our hosts and all those who came out to help and participate.
Here's a group photo taken on Saturday. (click for full size/download, click again to shrink back)

This was such a great IBC. I learned a lot of excellent tips for telling history and got so much practice in for all the other things. The Jonesboro Shooting Sports Complex is such a nice facility. Thanks to Captain for a well run, challenging and fun IBC. It was well worth the drive from Memphis and its always great to see the Arkansas cadre.
I am looking forward to the next shoot and helping to reignite the spirit that made us an exceptional nation.
I had a great time as usual, and Captain, as always, demonstrated his talent for making things easy to understand. I saw a lot of growth in myself and the other participants, getting more comfortable presenting the POIs as well as the History and the Message, the MOST important part of Appleseed! We had a great discussion on 7th stepping and how to grow the program as well. I look forward to our shoots here in Arkansas, and I may even "cross the river" and go help out in Memphis now that I know they aren't three headed monsters over there lol!
Def. not three-headed monsters in Memphis. Cross the river; the Memphis cadre is a fun group :--- :~
