Them's that have been to the IDMR know what an incredible place it is and how the spirit of Isaac Davis seems to always watch over us and urge improvement to our marksmanship. Those who have been there also know what dedication and hard work Ken and Lori pour into this labor of love. At the most recent RBC one of our students (now a Rifleman and Orange Hat) suggested that a GoFundMe campaign to dig a water well would ease the burden of having to deliver water to the range. Brassass put it together, made the first donation, and got the ball rolling. You now have a golden opportunity to help out by kicking in some dollars and helping make the well a reality. With a source of water secured, perhaps flushing toilets and showers could be next. The mind boggles at the possibilities. Please help make the only Designated Appleseed Range in Florida even better.

Ken and Lori built it and we want to come! Those of you who have been to the IDMR know that a well would be sweet indeed. Those of you who have not yet had the chance to get up to Tallahassee for an event need to get up there this year for the experience. The IDMR embodies what it is to be truly invested in the program and our country. The least we can all do is give back and make an investment in it too. Tell your friends, family and neighbors! Shout out from the rooftops of the glory that awaits at the IDMR! After receiving that summertime sweaty glory it would be so much nicer to take a cool shower from mother earth's sweet nectar flowing from a freshly drilled well we all helped provide. A rifleman who just scored on the KD range then took a shower is a person who knows very well what they are all about!
I just donated! Feels good! Give what you can please, to this most worthy of causes. Engineershooting and Lucky Lori are the most prolific instructors in the history of the program - did you know that? In addition to buying property and building a range, they also work more events, year after year, than ANY Appleseeder in the entire history of the program.
May Liberty only expand. May her light cover the earth, forever eradicating darkness for all humans.

UPDATE: Wow! We are currently at $1,830 of the $2,500 goal. Thank you to all who have donated so far. Don't be a Pickering and wait until it's too late to contribute. If you love the IDMR, your country, KD shooting and showers please give what you can. Thanks!!!!
Do not stop contributing at $2500! Thats just the estimated cost to drill the well. How about associated equipment? Pump? That takes power. Sorry, no electricity! Solar panels? Battery bank? More bucks! $$$
