I just want to say:

I am so thankful for the friends (really brothers and sisters) that I have gained in the last year.  I admire you all so much.

Some of you know how easily I choke up talking about some of this stuff.  It's like that now.  It's been a privilege to know and volunteer with each of you.  The words "thank you" are entirely inadequate.

James

If the measure of the average appleseeder is anything like those we met at our first shoot, I can't wait to meet more!

Hey all I just got home and in signing in for the V. muster. I am going to go back and read so of the previous posts.

Yeah,

Calguns has set up Chapters now in the different areas in Ca.

I have been in contact with the leader for this area. We may get a Calguns Members Appleseed going here soon. Gotta work on the details and the range. The guy in charge was talking about having it as an informal type of free thing. At an open range (glass factory). I have to talk to him more. It is too dangerous at those free for all ranges, there is no control, and the $75 is really not the cost that is prohibitive, it is the ammo cost. So I am working with them to set one up later this year so people can store up ammo and prepare.


There are now Calguns Chapters in all areas of California. This sort of shoot can be done all over Ca.

So as well as the fun stuff (805)! make sure we all checkout out the schedule and sign up and lets get more shooters and more ranges for 2010. 100 is the target.

Hi Everyone!!
I am home sick battling a head cold so I can't fly....decided to see what this muster thing was about. Wanted to let y'all know that I was thinking about you guys. Heck, I thought maybe with all that rain that MT Appleseed was going to get washed away!!! :'(
I will be heading out to CA (PIRU) in March. Savage Shooter will be running the IBC and I will be there for the sun!! 8)
Recruit some new instructors and bring them to the IBC. For the current instructors come on out for a refresher before the April 19th weekend.
Keep up the great work in Cali!
See y'all in March!

Hey All!

I saw some questions and comments about how to make things better in our state. One thing that is in the works is a coordination of all IITs and Instructors for California.

So, CA instructors over the next few weeks please expect a call/PM from me to update your contact and local range information. If you don't hear from me or would like to be preemptive please PM with your info.

I look forward to talking with you all.

I just nailed it down today! It will be at the Hogue Range!
If ye love wealth better than liberty,the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom,go home from us.We ask not your counsels or 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.

No worries there friend, my questions were answered by others here in the forum...

I am certain you are busy and just wanted to say thanks to you again for all your kindness, that was our first appleseed when we met you.

Well folks, I think the organizers want us to lock the topics now while they count the muster totals.... silly boys and their games... but what the heck, illinois is still posting, let them lock it if they dare, I doubt they have the courage... so I've unlocked it again. So flog me.

If anything crucial in here start another topic and continue.

Thanks to everyone both here and on the radio show. That was fun.

Right on LLP, I'm still working on my MBA and am very busy trying to make a living and go to school.

I bought a DPMS Dissipator upper and found that extending that fron sight out really helps me, my standing and sitting groups are all in the "Red", on a certain target.

Dry fire exercises and thinking follow through are paying off. Thanks for asking by the way.  :)

I'm looking forward to bringing Brielle again, I put a set of fancy sights for like seventy bucks on her 10/22 rifle, the 8 year old girl hit the 1x1 square on a Red coat target, twice.

Best Regards,

Russel

Cool deal, buddy! Keep racking 'em in there, you'll get it!

Sight radius can be a beautiful thing, I hear ya.....Dry fire can also be the push that will help you crest the top.....

I'm personally amazed at the stock sights on most "garden variety" rifles....how -anyone- can hit anything with them amazes me......but then I look at my old 1939 Remmie bolt tuber, and recall just how deadly accurate that silly thing is, and wonder....was it me, or the gun? And you know in yoru heart it's the gun, cuz it -sure- couldn't be you...... #) **) ++)

Be well, buddy, and cruise in more often......I've enjoyed "talking" w/ you.... O0
TTYS, & God bless.
