Welcome All!

We're having a summer shoot in Donaldsonville, LA - at the world-famous Palo-Alto Rifle and Pistol Club!!

Friends, this is going to be some event! Our instructor crew, so far, includes Geeck, Mandy Monstar, dwylie and even Tennessee Beast!  All y'all ROCK!!! :bow:
We've got 8 shooters signed up so far, and 4 of them are new to Appleseed, so let's show them a great time!

As usual, we're running the standard 25M COF from the latest Instructors Manual. Standard COF is attached.
Should you need it, you can download the manual here: https://appleseedinfo.org/academy/manuals-and-resources/

Geeck will be testing to his Red Hat this weekend, so many of the POIs are going to be his. That said, we can/should advance everyone who can! Be prepared to test to your next level, and if you need History - this is a GREAT event to show us what you've got!

To that end, please volunteer for whatever you need (otherwise you might be voluntold what to do :) )

We'll meet up at the range at 7:30 - also, as a reminder, there is NO Concealed Carry at this range.

I would like to do second strike and slings...and any modeling except seated and transition to seated (still recovering from ankle injury/surgery).  On Sunday, sign me up for anything for review. 

What is the lodging situation like?  Send me a PM with ideas.

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
