Thanks for stopping by to the Wisconsin Appleseed page.

Post a note when you are here so we know who is checking in.  Here is an opportunity to ask questions about anything!  Got a question about a shoot?  How about one of the new ranges in Wisconsin.  Post your question and hopefully we can get some great answers.

Here is a list of things to think about...........

1.  We NEED new range opportunities in the Wausau/Stevens Point/Tomahawk area.  If you know of any ranges, or if you have a friend in the area up there, please let us know.  We need to start 'seeding' the middle of the state!!!

2.  Look over the Wisconsin schedule and please send a PM to "Instructor Scheduling" and "Nickle".  Let them know what shoots you are available to instruct at.  If you are an IIT,  please make sure you are completing your P.C.'s for the upcoming shoots.

3.  Pay special attention to April 17/18th.  We have 4!!! shoots scheduled for that weekend.  This will be an "All hands on Deck" weekend.

4.  LBOTG  (local boots on the ground)  Please help out with promotions and get the word out on all the new Wisconsin shoots.  We have several new ranges this year and it will be VERY important to make sure we fill the lines so we make a great showing for the new ranges.

5.  Mark your schedules (I know they are busy) for Wednesday February 10th.  We are having a "Three Strikes 101" History Refreshers course.  This will be at the "Blue Spoon" Resturaunt located at 550 Water Street in Prairie du Sac, WI.  We have reserved the upstairs dining room so we will have dinner and work on the Three Strikes so we are all prepared for the upcoming Appleseed "season".  We already have 8 people signed up for this!

Hiya, Deacon,

I've been thinking about fun and interesting things to do up at Spooner.  I'll share my ideas with you a bit later, though, cause it looks like you're going to be busy here tonight.

Deacon

That sounds great Mogget.  After all, Colycat will be busy on the other side of the state, so we should be able to have some fun, especially on sunday with known distance!

Hello all. Great to meet with you again.

Mogs,  If you have ideas on how to have MORE fun, you have to share them with ALL of us.  And Deacon, I won't be that far away, sooo.........

Wow!  Shiocton 2009!  That was a GREAT Appleseed.   I was so impressed by the shooters.  No WIMPS with all the rain and cold weather.

We could use some help promoting SUAMICO, February 13-14, 2010.  You have some friends you can bring?

Where do I post these questions?

Can we offer the paid no-shows from Hubertus Jan 10 shoot a spot on the underpopulated line at Suamico? If so someone needs to email them.

What about the idea that if someone pays for 2 days he's got a pass for as many Appleseeds it takes to achieve rifleman?

Thanks,
JoeZ

JoeZ, why don't you ask those questions of Riflewoman up in the Virtual Muster Area?  I know she's got a live thread up there and she's pumping out answers to those kinds of weapons. questions.  Geez.  What am I thinking?

Uh.... if you are the Shoot Boss I'd think that you can do what ever it takes to take care of the students.....  Nuff said?   After all we are WISCONSIN!!!!

Riflewoman takes care of refunds.  The two day idea is Guys,  and I don't think it went anywhere.  Yet!!

Hello from Greenville,
How is every one ? I'm hoping to shoot a couple appleseeds this year , Shiocton (home range) and maybe Suamico but thats more of a drive
but I guess I did drive to MN for one last Sep. LOL !!   **)
O and I think I'm going to try to shoot Rifleman left handed this year !!


mikes

RE: Shiocton- I was real impressed with all the people that stayed on Sat and then came back for Sun. I think I was the first Rifleman at Shiocton- 216. I was impressed. Would like to shoot in Feb at Suamico but want to sign up for the April shoot. Been unemployed too long and funds are really getting tight. Trying to get a couple of takers but no commitment. Will be getting some flyers up though.

colycat

Domingo and Mikes,

Can you guys get together with Fe and get some promotion going for Suamico?  I think only one is signed up.  Also we should get someone to take care of getting the line materials for this range.

What do you think???

Left Handed?  Wow!  I have heard shooters want to go from scope to iron sights,  .22lr to centerfire,  but right to left handed!  Come over to Spooner, I would like to be there!

Welcome CGinWI.  

For those of you who can help hang and hand out some flyers for Suamico, they are located at the bottom of the information page here.

Download, print and hang.   :--- :---

It's going to be a fun event; just as the winterseed at Hubertus in January!
