Project Appleseed

Appleseed Family,
 
I want to make you aware of an upcoming Instructor Boot Camp in Huntsville, AL on February 5-6, at the premiere indoor range, Bullet and Barrel. It is FREE to the Appleseed volunteer cadre, of course, and is designed to enable all of us to help work Appleseed events with even greater simplicity and precision.  Those who have not worked an event for a while may find it a fine refresher and for those who are seasoned instructors, it may be useful to review a bit.

While this event is scheduled for Alabama, border raiders are welcome to join us! 

Who can come?  It's for Instructors-in-Training, Instructors, Applecore, Shoot Bosses, and even crusty old Senior Instructors!  If you're thinking about becoming an instructor and want to know what it's all about - come on out. 


Stuff you need to know:
 
1.  The purpose of the IBC is to help our instructors grow and become better teachers, away from the pressure of being in front of students.  If you are an instructor, instructor in training, or interested in being a Project Appleseed Instructor - Sign up!
 
2.  The IBC is free to attend.  No cost. Sign up!
 
3.  Lodging.  There are a couple of hotels close by; see the event information page. 
 
4.  Don't let the name "Boot Camp" intimidate you.  This is a gentleman's course.  No push-ups, no hazing, no yelling.   Most of our IBC exercises will be in small groups.
 
5.  Attendance at this event will qualify you for your BOOT CAMP rocker.  Sign up!
 
6.  If you've not attended an IBC in the last 12 months, please sign up as a student.  Sign up!

7.  While we won't have a traditional breakfast at Waffle House, we will eat at a local restaurant, City Cafe Diner!

8.  This venue has to be seen to be believed ... upscale indoor range with 5 star NSSF rating.  Check them out B&B

9.  An IBC will jump start your teaching skills and may qualify you for accelerated promotions!

 
Please pass this along to anyone you think may be interested.  The IBC is the method we use to insure everyone is on the same page when we teach using the Appleseed way: SIMPLICITY and PRECISION.  Please join us and invite others. You are part of an elite group - the best rifle instructors in the country.  Come help us all improve as we spread the message of Liberty.
 
This is going to be a great event! Hope to see all of you there... so Sign up!

(Yes, I shamelessly stole the format from MO. It's hard to improve on this.  )

Thanks everybody!

Another big surprise came when SB Sticks told us that two of our shooters wanted to take an orange hat and join in the effort to pass on American marksmanship and, more importantly, help to spread the message of Liberty. I was very proud to be there and look forward to seeing both of these shooters on the line soon! They were also presented with the coveted Arkansas Cadre patch as both were helping as doing line duties on Sunday! One of our new volunteers is a visitor from El Paso, TX and will “officially” take his hat with the local cadre in Texas.

      

In addition to several instructors requalifying Distinguished, Papasi shot his first Distinguished score.
 


These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. - Thomas Paine

Whoop!  Whoop!
