Title: Manheim PA May 15-16 AAR
Post by: lprgcfrank on May 15, 2010, 10:37:17 PM
Great day on the Appleseed trail today - 24 shooters - all safe and 1 Rifleman already!

The Eltonsville club was a happening place today with a local politician having a fundraising sporting clays shoot (firearm friendly politician - gotta love that) and a kid friendly fishing competition that started before Appleseed - The spacious parking lot was very full and many folks standing in multiple lines when we arrived at 7:30 AM!   Side benefit of a great tasting full chicken dinner for lunch (and only $7.00) going to support the fishing program!

Photo's and details to follow!

Livefreeusa - it was pleasure meeting you and your family.  I look forward to seeing you again.  Remember, we have a nice, new shiny-orange hat in need of a new home. ;)

I have posted a few more photos below.  For those wondering why Livefreeusa is holding a Redcoat target in addition to his KD AQT target, it's because he cleaned it at the end of the day Sunday. :bow:

A welcoming host range, friendly shooters with open minds, a solid crew of instructors teaching Heritage and Marksmanship- Yes, it was a good Appleseed!  O0

Livefreeusa, your family really soaked up the instruction. Come back any time!

Maybe I'll take you up on that.....Only if we could get a gun club up here to have an appleseed shoot (I'm working on that too) But then again I could see coming down to Eltonsville to help you out now and then.

Also I would not have cleaned the red coat target w/o the help of all the instructors ^:)^

Chainsaw,
LivefreeUSA and TwoGuns (he shot Saturday at Manheim) are members at Palmerton Rod and Gun Club they are asking if either of us can make next months' meeting (June 21 @ 7:30 PM) to pitch Appleseed and get a shoot(s) scheduled there.  I think I can free up - but since you're closer if you want to cover - OK by me.
Frank
