Reports have just come in from aboard the fast sloop Quero of a great battle fought between the brave and fearless Appleseeders and their dastardly Redcoat targets at Clinton County Farmers and Sportsman's Association in Wilmington, OH. Capt. Darcy informs us that the Redcoats attacked with abandon at first light on the 14th instant but were kept at bay by incessant and well directed fire until their final defeat before sunset on the 15th.

In all 2 companies of Redcoats were completely annihilated. The first by Joe in early hours of Sunday's battle and the second by Roy (both from the colony of Pennsylvania) in the battle's waning moments Sunday afternoon.

After the battle 4 Appleseeders were awarded the coveted Rifleman patch for outstanding marksmanship and uncommon persistence exhibited on the battlefield, known locally as Good Ole Bay 7, that day. The first was Joe with a 222 followed by Eric at 218 and Dave with 214. Roy ended the battle with a 217 on the final enemy charge and victory was declared.

All Appleseeders, now veterans, who took part in the battle displayed exceptional persistence, especially Ben who will have no trouble earning his patch hopefully in the near future. Others who were forced to retire early- Kent, Ed and, of course, Logan -all contributed to the cause and will be warmly welcomed back at any future shoot.

Thanks to all our shooters and instructors who, along with amazing August weather, made this Appleseed one to remember!
Do thou Great LIBERTY inspire our Souls- And make our Lives in thy Possession happy- Or, our Deaths glorious in thy just Defense.

"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword because the whole body of the people are armed"- Noah Webster A.D.1787

". . . They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons,
that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and
delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings
said: "Stick to the Devil you know."
"The Gods of the Copybook Headings,". Rudyard Kipling A.D.1919

Fantastic weekend with a great group of shooters! I can't thank you enough for taking the time to come out and hear a bit of history and improve your marksmanship skills.
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace.
We seek not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

"Posterity! You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good Use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it." - John Adams in a letter to Abigail, 26 April 1777
