Twelve Patriots joined our Cadre for our first event at Creeks Edge Farm outside Chattanooga, TN. Many thanks to our host! We are very grateful and look forward to many more events:


After the customary welcomes and registration, Maximum Effort becomes our newest IIT! Thanks for stepping up  O0


TallTimber introduces our shooters to the Hits Count (Redcoat) target:


Then the fun begins - coaching on the line and helping our shooters master the 6 Steps, steady hold factors, and NPOA:




Cleveland imparting words of wisdom to Maximum Effort:


Our firing line under the vigilant eyes of TallTimber:


Simon qualified with scores of 214, 219, and 227(!) with iron sights!


Axeman also qualified with scores of 215, 218, and 235. Axeman also stepped up and joined our ranks  O0


Some of us are more flexible than others:


Our shooters continued to persist as Riflemen do


Shannon persisted and joined the Rifleman ranks with a 210  ..:..


Which gave us an opportunity to demonstrate baptizing with the waters of the Concord North Bridge:




It's always wonderful to see youth shooters join us to hear the story of April 19th and hone their marksmanship skills! Tyler will surely earn Rifleman soon as he was ever so close with a 208.


Our thanks to our host range, our students for joining us on cold weekends mornings, and thanks to our dedicated cadre - we had a great event and credit goes to all involved.

The difference between a novice and a master: the novice does it until they get it right. The master does it until they can't get it wrong.

It's a beautiful range. I haven't been to one of these yet that I didn't learn something. The instructors are always a great group to be around and very helpful. I love seeing families. The grandma and grandson combo and cousins are firsts for me (hopefully followed by a lot more). They're sure to have lasting memories.

I'm learning how to add pictures. Can't do captions under them yet. Sorry
First is of the new shoot boss.
Second is the old shoot boss reestablishing the pecking order. Hmphhh
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

looks like a great event!
It's not about perfection -- it's about progress!!

I LOVE this stuff!

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again" Ronald Reagan

Thanks for stepping up Maximum Effort and Axeman!  We need you!
In giving us dominion over the animal kingdom, God has signified His will that we subdue the beast within ourselves.
John Lancaster Spalding

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1775

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."  George Washington 1790

"[T]o preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…"
- Richard Henry Lee, Declaration Signer

Practice every time you get a chance. - Bill Monroe

Hmmm... there's something about that guy.
Appleseed Math is simple:  Rack grade rifle + surplus ball ammo + rock solid fundamentals = hits on target out to 500 yards

We're in the Liberty business.  Stay on Mission & Stay on Message.

I will be driving up to help out at this much appreciated new range.
Delighted that the owners came down to GA to get some initial Appleseed experience!
