Hello all;

I wanted to stop in and thank the staff of the April 4-5th Cameron, MO Appleseed.  This was the my first Appleseed event - and truly my first formal rifle training.  Thanks to Greg, Eric, Chris, Dan and Ben; I learned just how much I didn't know about rifles and the history of our country.  I sincerely appreciate that you volunteered your weekend to teach me these things.

Thanks guys!

;D

Hey Nick1911,

You are no different than the rest of us.   Once we realized that there is solid mechanics to shooting a rifle accurately, and we can learn it.  And once we realized the true history of our Founding Generation, we could not help but share it with others.

Those names you posted, that you are thankful to?  All great folk!  Also, all normal, common Americans, working hard to preserve the American Traditions and Heritage......They could use some help.

Appleseed is not about coming to a weekend event and being taught and entertained, it is about passing what you learned on to others......who have yet to learn it.

There are people out there now, who are waiting for their moment to thank YOU for imparting Traditional rifle marksmanship skills and American Heritage to them and their children.

Appleseed is exploding across this nation, because good solid people like yourself understand and appreciate the importance of preserving our Traditions and Heritage.....

Appleseeding is for all Americans.....especially you.

I speak for all the instructors there when I say it was our pleasure and that our thanks goes out to you and all those who attended.

I'm glad to hear that you're happy with the marksmanship improvement you made and especially glad that we could bring you the history that you hadn't heard.

And as usually Funfaler is spot on:

I'd be proud to have you bail by my side. You're already out of the deck chair so go on and grab a bucket.

Nick,

It was great having you.  If you really want to thank us, come to the next shoot and bring 10 (or more) people with you!
