Just wanted to let everyone know, we've arranged to start having events at USI in Concord! Thank you Chris L!

I was excited for a minute thinking it might be closer, both Sac and Concord are 2 hrs, 55 minutes from home LOL.

It it exciting to have more options though

I love it! I hope to see you both there!

He was making great progress, if he keeps with it I'm sure he will get there in no time.

Auugh! Why does it have to be Halloween weekend?

I bought Pinky a Windham Weaponry AR for her birthday (and she really wants to go to another Appleseed), but we have a large annual Halloween set up.

I hope that Concord is successful, because it's a LOT closer for us. Would love to attend both Sac and Concord next year.

Bummer about the schedule. Congrats on the new AR!

Looking forward to seeing you both next year!

Hay all,
Will there be any Appleseeds in concord in 2024?
I see there is a tentative date on the USI calendar but nothing on the Appleseed schedule.

Thanks

I mean, I've seen the dates on CalGuns, but can't put in for vacation until they are posted.

[FixBayonets]

I've added two dates for 2024 so far.
April 6 and Oct 5

[La Victoire Ailee (Timothy_D)]

Booked the October date.
Recommendations on a hotel?
The last one we went to was relatively close, but decidedly, "meh."

[Bill_B]

See you all on Oct. 5!

[La Victoire Ailee (Timothy_D)]

Yup yup!!
Looking forward to the weekend

(P.S. It's Pinky's birthday on Sunday)

[La Victoire Ailee (Timothy_D)]

Rifles and magazines cleaned and prepped for the weekend.
I read on CalGuns that it's sold out!I

Pinky is asking if it's rimfire only.

[Fulcrum]

I'm looking forward to seeing what we have on the calendar for 2025!

EDIT: These aren't listed on the Appleseed site yet, but I do see them on the USI calendar:

April 26-27
June 21-22
September 13-14
October 25-26
November 15-16

I don't know if there is anything official, or if these are just reserved spots in the USI calendar at this point, but 5 events this year would be great if it happens! I told some friends about how much I enjoyed last year's 2 events, and I have at least one interested in buying a rifle and joining a clinic. And there may be a few more I can pull in.

[Fulcrum]

Now I see those dates above on the official Appleseed calendar plus one in March. So it looks like:

March 29-30
April 26-27
June 21-22
September 13-14
October 25-26
November 15-16

Six dates! That's awesome. Thanks for stepping up the number at Concord, especially for the 250th Anniversary. I promise to bring at least one, probably more, new people.

Pinky and I were planning on attnding April 26, 27, but have had to table it for the moment. I'm interviewing for a new job, if I get it, there's a 7 week academy that starts in April.
That being said, we're both attending the Red Bluff boot camp, so we're looking forward to helping out this year as a blue hat and and orange hat (until she earns her Rifleman patch)

I'll miss you both at the April event in Concord. I'm planning on that one as well as a few of the other Concord dates.

What is the Red Bluff boot camp? I'm not seeing that on the Appleseed calendar or the Red Bluff range events calendar. When is it and what do they do there?

[La Victoire Ailee (Timothy_D)]

It's an instructor boot camp.
If you've made Rifleman, hit up FixBayonets or NorCal22Gal if you're interested in becoming an Orange Hat.

[Fulcrum]

Ok, it's an instructor boot camp. I'm not ready for that. I've heard of some week-long events held at a very few places around the country that I thought might be called "boot camp" as well, and I was hoping it might be something like that.

Have a good time at boot camp, and good luck with that new job prospect!
