You can add me here too I escaped to VT in October 1997 after 12 years

Fine, I'll get off my *ss and do one for CT too. Poops.

Please add Eric Goodchild (Goodpiper) IIT1 BOTG for Leyden MA
Certified NRA Home Firearm Safety, Basic Rifle and Pistol, MA certified for Firearms instructor. O0

Done!

*ahem*. Might want to check the Leyden AAR for some promotions. For starters, Luv2BFree's name should be in red...

Congrats to Mike and Sprocket on their new, heavier hats!

We celebrated by proving the old orange ones were not bulletproof. >:D

Uh... I thought Todd's was passed on to Steve, our new Rifleman???

Correct - good Mojo in that hat, Steve will do well

Congrats to Matt and Mike, our newest red hats!  ^:)^

I look forward to passing on Dwarven1's orange hat.  It could probably use a wash first though...

*Ahem*

We have a new Shoot Boss - Luv2BFree!

It's time to welcome another to the IIT ranks, AmericaStandsStrong!

Also, Goodpiper has moved up in the world, and is now wearing a shiny new Red Hat!

^:)^

And AmericaStandsStrong is now an IIT2... moving up in the ranks!!

So, you guys who're still IIT0... when do we get to see you working a shoot and continuing your journey to Instructor?

Not to poach...well, yes, New Yorkers are shameless IBC hookers...
Dunham's Bay, Lake George, NY IBC 26-27 March, 2011.

As in 2010, potential exists for class "field trip" to the Saratoga Battlefield site (bundle up!).  Dunno if our fearless tour guide will
be available or not, since he may be preparing for his own Battle Road IBC the following weekend, but never hurts to ask...

Excelsior,
mad
PS  RHIs also get to use the Ruger and Henry Instructor Purchase Programs, @ appx 1/3 off factory msrp!  Need extra loaner 10.22s @ about $200 each?  Blackhawks?  Mini14s?  Vaqueros?  Henry Golden Boys or AR7s?

Help us set something up in Deerfield, MA?

There are shoots in Leyden, MA on May 21-22 and July 16-17. Close enough?

I suggest talking with the BOD of the club and seeing if they are open to the concept - perhaps a 1-day shoot, etc - you will be our boots on the ground there.  If they are interested, we can support your efforts to expand the program by bringing more shoots to MA.

I'll help out as best I can from here and will participate in any shoots you can set up out there, provided my work schedule has me home for the given time frame.

I fail to see how limiting our shoots to specific ranges expands the program...

Need moar ranges!

Leyden is less than 30 minutes north of Deerfield.

I'm still looking for a down side.

aim - PM inbound

I think what Ross is saying is that aim should come to Leyden and help get Greenfield.

According to the Project 2000 plan, our little state needs to figure out where to do 47 shoots this year.  @)  Need moar ranges!!

Got it in one. An Instructor needs to be ready to drive where he's needed. I've only gone to shoots up to 7 hours away but I know Crak has gone much farther than that, and I distinctly remember TheGuy mentioning a 19 hour drive to get to Hartford in '07.

Precisely. Leyden is wonderful and no further away from my house, Deerfield has cell phone reception, more is better, and I will talk to the board.

Please move me up to IIT4

IIT and new rifleman 6/19/11. Like son, like father!! ;D

Nice timing on father's day.   O0

In other news congrats to Voidoid on becoming a full instructor!

Congrats to Goodpiper on his shiny new hat!

Congratulations Crak, on your new position!  ^:)^

Please put me on the list as IIT 2. Thank you, Mr. Freedom.

Sir, when you have the time if you want to update the list with my new display name per my PM. Hopefully I will be ditching the IIT status in the near future as well.

If you don't mind listing 'aim' as instructor, aim will be grateful and pleased.

    ---aim

edit: aim is now pleasingly grateful. Thank you!

It's a Christmas miracle! You can update me as a IIT-3 when you get a chance! Thank you!

Hopefully everything is now squared away. Thanks for stepping up.

Please add MJ52 to the IIT0 list.

Ya gotta start somewhere.

Thank you, MJ52

Corrections/additions I am aware of as of July 15, 2012:

voidoid is voidoid without an uppercase v. The same applies to lupis42 and goodpiper. The forum seems to treat names as being case sensitive.

Ulysses is IIT2

mj52 is IIT1 (lower case)

Sir_Ludavic is IIT1

AmericaStandsStrong and MetalGodz are now both full Instructors. Congratulations!

hbennett and [Chris B. - no screen name yet] are both IIT0. Thank you for stepping forward!

Why are Instructors and IIT0s split into two sections? Is it because they are inactive? It may make sense to label the categories Inactive Senior Instructor, Inactive Instructor, Inactive IIT0 and remove the blank line in that section. Keeping them after the expats makes sense, then.

Bump To Top.

July 14 and 15th was a busy weekend at the Leyden range with additions and advancements. Celebrating Bastille day, perhaps?

My current list of additions/corrections is above: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=13353.msg229345#msg229345 .

Because they are inactive. If they decide to come back then it's easy to move their name.

Hmm. Thank you for the update. There is a small problem, however. The two new Red Hats have a ways to go before becoming SBs... Or is this "watch from promotions" thing that Fred mentioned in his email?

No, it was a Dwarf having problems with the updated forum software. A clearing of the cache on my Chrome browser and it's back to normal. Sorry about that, guys... you get to work your tails off to get those neato-keen new Shoot Boss hats with the musket & powder horn.

When ya get a chance you can show me as a red hat. thanks

aim => SB, when you get a chance...

Ulysses => IIT4 when you have a chance.

You can add me as a SB when you get a chance
-LT

Ulysses is an IIT4 and Lima Tango is a Shoot Boss.

Now... if we could only get a State Coordinator that could take over moderating this forum, we'd be all set...

Updated the list with the latest escapees from Marxachusetts. (http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a29/canthsrider/smilies/anim_snoopy.gif) (http://s8.photobucket.com/user/canthsrider/media/smilies/anim_snoopy.gif.html)

Just saw this. Whenever anybody feels like updating it, I'm an IIT0 (hopefully IIT1 when this coming weekend is out!). Thanks

Try sending a PM to Scuzzy and Crak; they're the only ones who can modify that post.

The roster has been updated. If you have any additions, subtractions (bon voyage!), or modifications, please post them here ( ^:)^) or PM the moderators.

Shooters, please feel free to contact any of the instructors with any questions or concerns; alternatively, please use ma@appleseedinfo.org. If we cannot answer you, we will forward it up the national chain until we get answers.

Post April 19th update. Thank you all for stepping up.

2016 update.

Mid-summer 2016 updates up.

I don't see Nuttree on here he is an IIT0 at the Leyden shoots

Late 2016 update. Congratulations to all the IITs who advanced and congratulations Rasmus, our (well... almost our) latest SB and SC!

Patriot's Day 2017 update

Mid-2018 update. New Instructors, new Shoot Bosses...
