The 2024 Appleseed Patriot's weekend shoot at the Izaak Walton League in Lincoln is now in the history books.  And what a great shoot it was!!

We had a super group of 9 shooters that came without any ego and each brought a teachable attitude with them!  They also brought along an extra supply of perseverance!  The range is an amazing place to host an Appleseed.  Thanks to the Lincoln Ikes for allowing us to shoot there and for all they do to maintain that wonderful facility.

Thanks to all of our shooters for spending your weekend with us!  We were honored!

Each of you made great progress throughout the weekend!  Congratulations to Greg for qualifying Rifleman on Sunday – your hard work paid off!  And Congratulations to Gregg (two-g's Gregg) for requalifying rifleman!  We had several more knocking on the door, a little more practice with the toolkit we provided, and I am certain you will be earning your patch very soon!

Special thanks to our instructors: Jeff (Dodgepower74), Jeremy (NE Bull), & Abbie (ShootinShorty) - you all did an amazing job!!  I appreciate your awesome attitudes!!

I will try to get some photos posted here in the next couple days!

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
Great Range
Great Instructors
Great Shooters

Thanks to all 3 groups.  Jeff and Jeremy had the drive and perseverance to get things going in Nebraska again and Chris and Abbie generously came down from Iowa to help the program.

Hopefully your example will re-ignite the spirit in others in Nebraska!
Congratulations to you all.  Looking forward to photos.

Huzzah for stepping up and crossing state lines. That is a great range and has hosted many Appleseeds in the past.

It was a great experience. A good time, good company, some education, and some firearm practice.
Learned a ton. Now time to use it, practice it, and see if I can't improve!
Next up, passing the information on to the kids and getting them interested in more and excelling.
Thanks to you all for all your effort in organizing, orchestrating, and training. The story telling was great also.
