The gift of Appleseed

Recent events, basically daily life, including a fall have combined to clearly demonstrate an all day two days event with multiple up/down is no longer in my wheelhouse. I am signed up and paid up for the 25M clinic in Hempstead Oct. 24-25. Is this transferable? I'll give it to someone who is physically up for all that so it doesn't go to waste. If Houston local and they want to spring for Five Guys I won't get mad. :) Just wondering what I can do with it as I have come to know my limitations just recently.

Before you bail out...
Can you get yourself to the event?
Are you able to shoot from a bench?
We allow adaptive positions for physically challenged people. Your Shootboss could offer accommodations.
Even if you can't shoot you will acquire  significant insight into how the shoots operate. Don't forget the the history.
You've been anticipating your first Appleseed for a long time. It would be a shame to forgo it completely!

I could get there and I could shoot standing (probably not too accurately due to not being too steady due to no strength for holding the rifle weight) or on a bench. But kneeling questionable due to knees and after last week's fall not feeling prone any more. And equally questionable is lasting 2 full days outside. I'm a 5 mile radius guy any more, not 75 miles to Hempstead and I'm a 1-2 hours whatever and back home to my forums and books. But I'm still hoping/planning to try the pistol clinic as I believe it is one day and all shot standing up. It won't be pretty either as my MK IV weighs too much for one handed accurately, but I'll at least scare the target significantly. :)
