Project Appleseed

Thanks y'all. I love working with the crew up here. They are amazing, and truly inspire me to be a better person, and better American!

If you have never worked with Ian, Eric, or any of the crew up here, take a trip to Washington and see the PNW crew inspiring people.

Thanks for grabbing a bigger bucket! 

Is there a Mod in this thread, btw? For some reason I can't create a new thread in the "Skill Sets of Shooting" board! I can create a new thread in the Texas board, tho

Sounds like a great Pistolseed! Congratulations to the new Pistoleers!

What a fantastic weekend, but then again every Appleseed weekend is fantastic. We had 12 fine Americans join us for the inaugural pistolseed at Ramseur's newly constructed pistol range. The range is awesome, many thanks to all that put so much work into making this a first class facility.

The weather was perfect and the shooters all brought their A game. We started with some history and moved quickly through drills to determine each shooter's skill level. It was clear we had a great deal of experience on the line. While most were great shooters when they arrived we did help with the small things that make a huge difference in marksmanship.

At weekends close we discovered four new pistoleers. James shot a 215 on day one with a high score of 216, Raymond, from Alaska shot a 216 day one with a high score of 219, Misty shot a 210 on day one with a high score of 223 and Tucker shot the high score of the event with a 228. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and I think everyone learned a few things, I know I did.

I want to thank the instructors RilosRed, Bulldog14 and JustKim, they did a fantastic job keeping everything moving. It was a real honor being the shoot boss for this event and I can't wait to do it again.   

Well done, sir. 

Friends, it is my privilege to introduce our newest Washington Shoot Boss:  Mike AKA Bandaid.



Mike has been a fixture of this program for years, and has worked with just about every Shoot Boss that's ever run an event in Washington.  He has an incredible amount of experience turning Americans into Riflemen (and a particular talent for starving the Time Monkey).

This last weekend we got to see how he runs the show when it's his to run: effectively.  He inspires shooters and Instructors alike to be better.  I'm thrilled that he'll help us spread the spirit of Liberty even further (3 simultaneous WA shoots when?).

Please join me in congratulating Mike AKA Bandaid on his promotion to Shoot Boss!

I can't find how to start a new thread. So, two birds. On topic, I've ordered two more of these cases. I have a Winchester Wildcat Sporter on the way. I'll be ordering 5 extra mags so one will be full and a spare.

Off topic, "That's a nice hat!". I wear my Appleseed boonie hat everywhere. Makes my dermatologist happy. Got to the bank and the man at the next teller complimented my hat. Asked where I got it. Said 3 times before leaving "That's a nice hat!" It deserves its own thread but I've gone stupid(er) and can't figure it out this afternoon.

Quote from: deep.half482 on September 09, 2026, 12:18:55 PMI was planning on doing an appleseed sometime in the fourth quarter with my son and all of the events that fit our schedule are sold out already!  We would need two tickets.  If anyone has purchased tickets to the Orlando event Oct 3-4 or Dec 5-6 or Bunnell Dec 12-13 and cannot attend, message me or email me at deep.half482@proton.me I would be interested in purchasing them.  Or to other events other than those weekends it would be worth messaging me (we could probably make September 19-20 work, too) - usually the Orlando, Palm Bay, or Bunnell locations are most convenient to us, but we're pretty flexible. 

Sorry if this is not the correct way to go about this.  I was surprised some of the later 4Q events filled up so fast.

It looks like they just increased the number of shooters from 20 - 25 at the Bunnell cliniic Dec. 12-13, so 5 spots are open now.

Sounds like a great event!
