Twelve Patriots from Georgia and Tennessee gathered at the Shaw-Woodward Training Center in Canton this past weekend to learn, re-learn, and hone their teaching skills for both Revolutionary War history and for rifle marksmanship. Many thanks to our State Coordinator, Roswell, for scheduling this IBC and for reserving the wonderful facilities to use.
In addition to the 4 IITs, we had a new Rifleman, Nathan, join us to take a "peek behind the curtain" of how the Project Appleseed cadre work to provide the best history and marksmanship teaching possible. He gave us high marks, and we hope that as he prays about it, he will choose to join the family.
It is always a great pleasure to work with such a dedicated group of instructors. Morpheous, Cleveland, Leadslinger, Roswell, and Gator, and TN Beast, you made the load light for the Shoot Boss. Thank you so much! The enthusiasm was constant throughout the two days. I know it will pay huge dividends as we continue to hold events for the rest of 2023. Thanks to Morpheus for again delivering with great passion Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death" speech.
Participants and instructors alike, ya'll made this SB very proud to be a part of the Appleseed family. I hope upacreek can post some pictures.

It was a good weekend. It's always good to get back in the groove, as well as seeing my Appleseed family again!

It was just what I needed.  Thanks to everyone involved.  I had the pleasure of working with Nathan on Day 1 and he is a fine young man that will make a great instructor if he chooses to do so.
In giving us dominion over the animal kingdom, God has signified His will that we subdue the beast within ourselves.

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
