I would like to get an idea of where everybody is in NM so we can see about the local help scene. If it isn't too much data collecting how about it. You don't need to put your name if you don't want I'd just like to get a feel for who all is out there. Rather than leaf back thru all the different posts to find someone it would be help to have this info in one post. Thanks
Taos, NM twh731 Tom twh731@taosnet.com
Tom,
You look lonely over here all by yourself.
My name is Phil Evans and I'm from northeast Oklahoma, PryorCreek area. Looks like you might need some help out at Raton, I'll see if I can get off work and come help out.
Thanks Phil. I do feel as though I'm floundering abit. I dropped off some flyers at Whittington Center for them to put out for us and also while I was there visited a couple of outdoors shops and left flyers. I have a couple of guys in the Alb. area who have put some flyers out down there as well. I am going to try to contact any of the local 4H clubs and shooting ranges .
As for help on the day of the event I think I will try to set up a 25 meter line very early as the first established line is at 100 yds. I am probably going to camp or get a cabin there Fri. night so I am there. Thanks and looking forward to meeting you. Tom
Hi tom
Sam Damewood from Alamogordo.
Barring AD&D I'll make the Whittington shoot, be there Friday and help you get going.
Sam
Thanks Sam, I look forward to seeing you there!
I'd post up through Durango, Trinidad and maybe even as far north as Pueblo/ Canon City area. I used to drive down from Lakewood for matches on a regular basis.
And TWC is truly a world-class range, with a dedicated HP range to 1000 yds, and room for 100 shooters on the line.
If it goes "Bang", there's a place for it at The Whittington Center.
You might try sending Franktown Kid a PM, he's the Colorado honcho, and he's not too far from you.

Hey Tom, Congrats on running a second successful NM AS in as many months...AND the patch too! You worked hard.
Ah what Appleseed to go to this past weekend? It was a hard choice between El Paso and Albuquerque, but we wanted to bring along some friends, so we chose to just drive over the hill. Transmountain Road has got to be the prettiest drive in El Paso, so it was pleasant to do for a couple of days. Half of the attendees were from Las Cruces anyway, so it looks like there is a market here. We also have our own smaller local range, about ten minutes west on I-10, so LC is really convenient and we usually have very mild winters.
It would be really nice to have an AS here!
Gillian, Rifleman, and former British subject.
BlueFeather, the Alb AS went pretty well but was under-attended if you look at the population in and around Alb. It was a pleasure meeting with the two Politicos who showed up. The weather held out beautifully for us, and yes, getting the cloth is a satisfying accomplishment. I am torn on which jacket to put it on, though. If only all of our decisions in life were this tough, huh! It sounds like you guys have a good thing going down there as there is an enormous interest in the AS Project. Not nearly as many citizens dozying on the couch in your area! Thanks for the invitation to stay at your digs. Your place looks magnificent and if I attend an IBC or AS in your area I just might take you and TaosGlock's offer to occupy a room. Are you guys going to be around for the Dec 27-28 AS? (if we have it) Tom

We will be around Tom! Come on down and leave that snow shovel...you won't need it. ;D
And BTW, all of you guys are welcome here.
I am in Albuquerque, and shot Saturday at the Alamogordo Appleseed this past weekend with my son who was home for Christmas from Arizona.
Is there the possibility of there ever being a Friday-Saturday shoot in NM or nearby? Due to the fact that I pastor a church it makes it difficult to do a full Saturday-Sunday Appleseed weekend. I wonder if the Friday-Saturday combination might also be better for some folks who might have to travel after a shoot in order to be back at work on Monday.
Just a thought.
Systema,
it was good to finally meet you.
We will work out something to get you more range time.
We need some access to a range up that direction.
Something other than the Abq city range.
No matter, the Appleseed trail does go through and around New Mexico O0
Sam
A pastor of a church?
Am I really the only one to see the possibilities here? (Can't be!)
Heck, bring the church with you, have a "sunrise" service, and then introduce them to a second day of "doing the Lord's work" - saving this country (can that ever be called "doing the Lord's work?").
"Where there's a will, there's a way..."
I need a new signature line: "Don't tell me how it can't be done; let's just do it - and you can tell me why not, after it's done." :)
PS: Welcome, padre! This program needs every American, for sure, but folks like you can bring in many others maybe a little easier than some.
So again, welcome! Two hundred-plus years ago, pastors were some of the most respected people in society. Dunno if that can be said about our modern 21st-century American culture, unless you are member of a rock band, or practice liberation theology - which you'll be doing, as part of Appleseed. O0
PS: I hope "padre" is still an acceptable form of address for a minister of the Gospel out west; if not, please accept my apologies, no ill-will or harm is (or was) intended.
He's a good man Fred.
Best we all remember that when those colonial militiamen met to decide on a course of action, a man of God was always with 'em, and usually on the march too.
QuoteOn the evening of April 18, 1775 John Adams and John Hancock met at the home of the local militia leader - and "coincidentally" Pastor of a Lexington, Mass. church - Jonas Clark. Unaware that at that very moment British Regulars were setting out to confiscate the arms of the Patriots, one of the visitors asked Rev. Clark if the people of Lexington would fight if necessary. The Rev. replied " I have trained them for this very hour!"
Fred, "Padre" is fine, I have been called worse!
As to the standing of ministers 200 years ago, this is an interesting link: http://members.cox.net/pc-usa/patriots.htm
I am a Baptist with Calvinistic leanings, and feel a special kinship with the "fighting Presbyterians" of the 18th century.
Sistema: From the url you cite, there's this
Quote(Muhlenberg) was a pastor of a church at Woodstock, Virginia, at the opening of hostilities. When the news of Bunker Hill reached Virginia, he reminded his congregation that there was a time to preach and a time to pray; as for him, the time to preach was past.
We live in times when we don't and won't have a Bunker Hill, when all we have is the sure knowledge that our country is sinking and at some point, if we don't want it to sink, we have to stir ourselves and do something about it.
That awakening is our "Bunker Hill".
Quote"It is now," he cried, "the time to fight"; and throwing off his vestments he stood forth in the garb of a Virginia colonel. His brother having remonstrated with him for his enlistment, he wrote:
"You may say that as a clergyman nothing can excuse my conduct. I am a clergyman, it is true, but I am a member of society as well as the poorest layman, and my liberty is as dear to me as any man. I am called by my country to its defence. The cause is just and noble. Were I a Bishop.....I should obey without hesitation; and as far am I from thinking that I am wrong, I am convinced it is my duty so to do - a duty I owe to my God and my Country."
In February, 1777, John Muhlenberg became a brigadier-general in the Continental Army; in September 1783, he was a breveted major-general. He took part in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, and Monmouth; at Yorktown he commanded the first brigade.
"It is now the time to fight" - only thanks to the founders, we understand that you can't fight if you don't have the "hearts and souls" of the American people - and if you have their hearts and souls, you don't need to fight - because we the people (thanks to the efforts of those same founders) control the government.
"The cause is just and noble...it is my duty so to do - a duty I owe to my God and my Country." Sweet words, indeed. Even after two centuries, they still sound sweet...
PS: that's a pretty "hot" site, there...
Hi all,
Me and my wife Jessi are here in Las Cruces, NM. There are several others we work with who have also attended. There are even more who are waiting on the next event. We would love to see an appleseed hosted on our Butterfield range just West of town.

Hi welcome Shelby and Jessi!
We are already planning two events at Butterfield. We want Feb 28-Mar1 and Mar 21-22. Parks & Rec say they should get back to me this week on the paperwork and then we will post the application link online.
BlueFeather
Welcome again Shelby and Jessi.
This time you both make rifleman and get a hat ;)

Shelby and Jessi,
Great working with you. Stick with it, persist! And stick with TaosGlock, Bluefeather, and Sam D! They WILL get you there.
Don't forget to include friends and family, they need to feel the fire, too!
Longshot
All,
Thanks for the warm welcome. Hope to see you all soon.
Shelby
Cool, looks like we are going to have a real strong Las Cruces contingent O0 I cant wait till the Las Cruces appleseed. I have some people in mind Who I'm sure will be interested.
So, ..... Uh,........ Buck,
I'm assuming from the tag line under your avatar that the top of your head has miraculously turned bright orange!!!
Congratulations, and Well Done!
OK, enough weepy back-patting, now put your shoulder to the timeline and get to work!!! LOL!
Welcome, and enjoy the next phase of your life....

Another New Mexican checking in. I live in Albuquerque and plan on attending the Raton AS.
Maybe we should include our chili preference? **)
Great to have you here. TaosGlock and I will be working at that event. Raton is a wonderful place, and probably the prettiest range anywhere. Tell your friends about this: we want a big contingent for April 19th!
Lookin' forward to seeing you April 19 in Raton Devnull! O0

Now that's non-committal ::)
Red here!
So anyone here from abq or know of "prone" friendly shooting ranges? The dorky benches at the city range seem to negate me practicing anything but standing unless I head outta town.
Can't think of anyplace s close.
I used to have a key to Diamondtail but that's gone now.
What do you think of a shoot in Socorro?
You might pass it among your friends and see what they think.
Sam
Hello all, thought I should check in as well. I am one of the folks Shelby referred to. I am in Las Cruces and was an attendee at the last shoot in New Mexico for 2008 in Alamogordo. I am looking forward to the upcoming shoots in LC.

hello everyoneMy name is michael my wife laurel and our son and daughter. I have not been into firearms for long but just recently bought a ruger 357 for me and a .22 rifle for the kids at the gun show in las cruces last weekend. I would like more info on the appleseed project if anyone could help point me in the right direction that would be appreciated. I am trying to do my best educating my kids on firearms but i dont know alot myself. anyway just thought i would intro myself
cougar, welcome aboard!
I assume you stopped by the Appleseed Project's table at the LC gun show right? ;)
If not, I will say this, we have two shoots coming up...one on Feb 28-Mar.1 and one on Mar. 21-22, Hope to see you there. O0
Since you are signed on here, just take the time to look around the forum. You will see what we are all about pretty quick!

Hi, I'm a new volunteer in Las Cruces, NM. I plan to attend/help at the Raton AS Apr 19. I also intend to bring my gloves and t-post driver Friday afternoon for the Cruces shoot 14Mar.
Welcome staplegund,
Glad to have you aboard.
See you Cruces Next week.
Sam
Sam,
I'd like to buy one of your slings, if you still have one to spare this weekend.

Hey staplegund! Welcome aboard!
Lookin' forward to this weekend!
I have some, a bit better than the last batch but still cheap.
Sam
I suppose I should introduce myself.
My name is David and I am located here in Albuquerque.
Now people are probably wondering, my board name is BobABQ and my real name is David.
I still haven't figured that one out. I keep on thinking, "Who is Bob? No, Bob is David." #) You're messing with us!

Hi,
I'm in ABQ for the time being. Going to be moving back to Socorro to finish my BSE in the fall.
I'm Nathan, and my first AS is going to be RR's on Dec 5.
Hi folks, O.L. here in Roswell, been to 2 AS's so far and hope to help out in Carlsbad in Feb. I've met some of you already and hope to meet the rest soon. Press on!...O.L.
Hello from the Wilkie family outside of Carlsbad!
Hey, we will be setting up at the gun show in Farmington Feb 12-14. There's room on our table for AS stuff!
Excellent. Do you know if any other AS folks will be there?
I got a bunch of AS stuff to put out on that table. :cool2:
SJWF just comitted to a shoot March 12th & 13th.
PM or call me (505)793-0063 and I'll give you the brochures.
Ken
PS...........Bloomfield, NM Appleseed new guy.
Oh, and Green.
Ranchroo,
We just finalized a shoot tonight with the folks putting on that show San Juan Wildlife Federation
2 members JeremyF and ballistic_ken live in the area. Between the bunch of you ought to be able to get some flyers out for the shoot there, ABQ Whittington and Roswell for April 19 too.

If you do not already have a bunch of flyers I can stop in Friday with some (assuming I have any left).
That would be great!
Quote from: ranchroo on February 05, 2010, 11:32:51 PM

Didn't run into you at the show, should have gotten a phone number...
Left a nice stack of flyers with Ken to deliver. ;)
You can call me @ 505.793.0063 and I'll get you some flyers tomorrow.
I am gonna try and get some up on a booth I am working on Sunday as well.
I want to thank the both of you for stepping up and promoting/spearheading this shoot. If you need anything please don't hesitate to ask.
I look forward to meeting the both of you at the shoot!
Chris/Devnull
Thanks.
I can't make this shoot, the only available weekend is one I have to be out of town. :wb:
I think this area could support a minimum of 2 shoots a year and our range can handle 800 yards. I really want to eventually shoot the entire course @ real distance with a centerfire rifle.
Once we get the first shoot done I'm hoping that other shoots will be easier to schedule. I look foreward to meeting everyone at some point. :cool2:
Quote2 shoots a year
Not even barely ballsitic_ken.
Try 15-16 by the end of 2011.
If you think my figure is too low, this a conversation I'll have with Fred in Jan 2012.
(me) "well Fred, beat my estimate, had 842 last year ??? "
(Fred) "how many people in San Juan county? " ::)
(me) "138,000" :'(
(Fred) "what happened to the rest of them? " ~~:)
You are thinking way too small.
2 shoots a year!
You're a regular comedian ;D
SJWF might think 2-3,
NMMI9100 went in thinking 5-6
I thought 6 maybe 8 in a pinch
Fred thinks 12 shoots a year @ 100 shooters a whack+April 19+ Constitution Day+ Independence Day, and " just what are you slackers........................?"
Sam ;)
The more the better. I was thinking of working up to 1 a month over a few years. I am totally willing to jump right in to the deep end as needed. :cool2:
I dropped a bunch of brochures at the Funshow today, didn't see any SJWF big wigs to nudge in the right direction. I'm working a booth tomorrow and will try again.
Depending on the first shoot I may be interesrted in the instructor program and helping organize SJC.
1 shoot a month would be awesome but the way SJWF operates its schedule would be difficult. They really don't like the idea of having shoots that limit regular range use (above what their favorites are).
If we can get a top dog into the organization it may work well for us. Waylan Moore is a huge fan of shooting 22's for benchrest and silhouette, and if he participates (I am trying!) It will be a walk in the park to get a shoot regularly scheduled.
One question, how are magazine changes handled with tube fed rifles?
Don't get me wrong Ken, but access to SJWF will NOT be a limiting factor for Appleseed in in NW New Mexico.
If they only have time and space for 2 that's fine, I'll find somewhere else as demand justifies. Slow me down maybe, stop me No.
There are other places and they will be contacted and used. Plenty of public and private land.
Locations are nice but an established range isn't necessary.
Sam
I'm in for a penny, in for a pound.
This whole San Juan County thing has come together rather quickly for me. I just barely joined here and this is proceeding pretty fast.
I'm willing to volunteer my time and energy to make this thing grow, it's just way faster than I ever dreamed.
If there's something you need me to do, or anything I'm missing, just let me know.
Ken,
Just wait till you get to your first Appleseed.
Ever had a drink from a firehose? ;D
Seriously, we plan big, and work hard. It is all part of what we call being a "Rifleman", which is way more an attitude towards life than it is an exercise in shooting ability. Like any human endeavor, there will be successes and failures.
"Devils and angels belong in the church.
You try for the best and you deal with the worst.
Just keep on plugging, you old nine to five,
For you are the heartbeat that keeps us alive."
We try for the best and deal with the worst and in the end the people never let us down. O0
Had my daughter help handing out Appleseed fliers at the gun show. She's a natural and handed out all the brochures we had. She'd pick people that blew by the booth too fast, track them down and give them a brochure. She did much better than I would have. She's fixing to be 11, and cute. I am over 40 and not so cute. She was great at approaching the kids and parents.
She also is turning 11 next month and is getting a Ruger 1/22 compact. She wants to do Appleseed.
I also have a line on a couple alternative ranges, just in case SJWF can't meet our needs. :cool2:
Oh, how do I get more of the brochures for Appleseed? :sos:

I'm station in Ft. Bliss and can be around for most if not all the events in southern new mexico, just have to see wat training is like. :---

West Texas really does belong to us anyway O0

Welcome Boomer, I look forward to meeting you! :)...O.L.
Was great working with you Boomer!
I'm down here in Alamogordo :wall: as little as I can. My wife is constantly ~~:), so I don't have a ton of free time. If I can help out somewhere that's not too far from here, send an :sos: and I'll try. Hopefully there'll be another event here in Alamogordo, or Cruces, again soon (I'm boycotting El Paso for Boycotting AZ).
Welcome aboard Jeff,
Glad to have you.
We will be scheduling some more shoots soon.
There are three of us here in Alamogordo
Give a yell if you want to hit the range.
Sam
Welcome JustJeff.
Our next Cruces shoot is in November 13-14 after the Dickerson Gun Show where we will promo that shoot.
I'm working on a Deming shoot again for October at New Deal Sports. There is also a gunshow there in Oct.9-10 so after that we will have the shoot..
Also gonna try and get 1 shoot per month at Raton NRAWC in 2011.
OK Folks.
The government, wisely, has decreed that Independence Day is a day of celebration. It also falls on Sunday this year. If you are in the Alamogordo area, come on out to the range in LaLuz at noon on Sunday (hit church early, plenty of time). We will have a celebration of Liberty, use the whole 360 yards available and enjoy some conversation with friends, and maybe make some more. For lack of better terminology, we'll call it a Mini.
Don't try to use your BBQ as an excuse not to show up, bring the grill and the people that were supposed to come to your place to the range and BBQ there. Leave the beer at home we won't need it anyway.
Sam
Jeff,
The secret to Appleseedin is to get your wife to shoot. Then she'll get her friends shooting and next thing you know you'll be able to watch your ball game ( or shop for ammo )in peace while they are at the range.
Heck ,Shorty goes to Appleseeds just to hear the three strikes story and the dangerous old women tales. Of course you will have to learn to sleep with one eye open. Those "old" women like the dangerous part.
Happy Birthday America!

Hey Captwa!
You got that right!
Hey Taos!
Did you mean the "peace " part or the sleep with "one eye" open part? Either way I found Sam's three strike story online so Shorty could get re- inspired again but she misses Blue-F's Gals with Grit tales. I might need to sleep with TWO eyes open if she hears more of them!
I've been reading up on some seventh step pertaining stuff and my head hurts. Time to head to BLM zone and shoot more. After this weekend when its safe out there, damn amateurs.
Y'all can PM me , same name on AOHell.

Be moving the range time back to 1300 if you are coming.
Going to spend a few minutes speaking with the Alamogordo A2ATF people at Alameda Park in Alamogordo.

LOL, I asked her to come out on Sunday. She'd love to shoot, and used to years ago, but she doesn't think her back or shoulders would take it anymore. I told her that a .22 shouldn't be a problem, but she said no. When she uses pain as an excuse, I believe her....
Jeff,
My wife and I are both out on disability. There are times we can not complete a course of fire at the appleseeds. It wont keep us from our quest for rifleman. It wont keep us from participation at whatever level we are capable on any given day. I've seen injured servicemen participate and folks worse off than us too. I take inspiration from them.
The instructors only ask you to do your best, whatever that is. They understand that everyone is different and adapt to each persons capabilities. It may be a youngster with attention problems, or an old poop like me who can't rotate to get a leg up. They adapt. Lots of them have physical restrictions and yet they teach. You can sit out sections of instruction and observe if needed. No pressure. They understand.
All you need to bring is an empty cup . Appleseed will fill it.
Wa
ps. My brain only can do one thing at a time. If I'm thinking front sight I cant think backbone.
Yeah, Capt, I understand that......however, I don't push my wife to do ANYTHING she doesn't feel comfortable doing, even for the right reasons (she has an ex who took it to the extreme sometimes). I know she CAN shoot if she has to, She's at least fired every gun I've put in her hands and is familiar with them. Sometimes just getting them downrange is all that is necessary. She's a Missoura gal..... it won't take a whole lot to get her on target once she starts shooting.
On another note, I had a good time with Sam and the others at the range Sunday; for the time that I was there, we put a lot of rounds downrange (those cans and targets didn't stand a chance). Prior to that, Sam spoke at the Alamogordo 2ATF (2nd Ammendment Task Force) bbq, and was very enlightening....he garnered a LOT of interest in the program after he spoke. The bbq in itself was a small gathering, however it was a gathering of folks who were members of multiple groups..... Appleseed, OathKeepers, Sons of Liberty Riders, and of course 2ATF.....all people with serious concerns for our Great Nation. We'll be having a joint meeting of OathKeepers and SOLR in Abq next Saturday if anyone is interested in details.
Jeff
Jeff,
I hear you on the let her do what she's comfortable doing! Shorty gets into things some times if it looks like I'm having too much fun. Some times enthusiasm requires a few days of pennance and the real danger of doing more damage. Not worth the pain? Who knows.
My uncles current wife is from Mizzorah and that old gal shoots gophers with a pistol from the front porch! Dont pic the vegtables from her patch! Sam and THE Garand work together like a well oiled machine, inspiring! I gotta practice a lot more!
I'm in Santa Fe most of the time and visit Alamogordo and NY mostly and some other places as required.
Sounds like you are a busy fella with those organizations. I'll clam up now and might see you on a range some where. My best to you all.

Yes! I had the privelege of watching him SHOOT that thing. He's an artist with it.
Welcome all you new folks and looking forward to meeting you on the trail. As for the physical limitations, yep, we've all got them in shape or form. My wife has many and fought like hell to get that first rifleman score, then shot like 5 in a row after the light bulb came on.
I had a lot of lower back issues for years and what we did and still do is throw a shooting matt on the living room floor with a target across the kitchen and down the hall. A few minuets each day get into the positions as best you can and do a few dry fires. You'll find they get easier and don't hurt as much. They even start to get comfortable. Those back issues I had for years?.....They went away and haven't returned! So besides AS making me a better person and better shot, it's improved my health. Maybe we need universal Appleseed instead of universal health care! ++) Again, welcome aboard and I salute you!...O.L.
And I might add that any of you guys are welcome to come to Raton and join BlueFether and I. :~ :---

UPDATE:....... Nancy and I will both be at the Aug 14&15 Mayhill shoot..... The camping and fishing convinced her. She's actually looking forward to sending a bunch of rounds downrange too, now.
