This is for Appleseed workers and other range personnel .I am having a range work day on the 22nd of May Starting about 08:00. We need to do some painting, clean , and move some things around to make the Home Range look better. I will provide the paint and brushes ect... In the afternoon we can set up some pop ups and shoot long range if you want. If I get enough folks then I will provide lunch, hot dogs and hamburgers. Please let me know if you can help out with a PM. Hawkeye  (Steve H )

    It's possible that by then we will have one or more "huts" available for anyone who wants to make a weekend of it and would like a place to stay, indoors - you'll need to bring an air mattress and bedding, but the shelter will be there.

We had a very productive work day,10 hard working folks showed up ready to paint. We painted the range house and range 2 then took  a break for lunch with Matt as the cook. After cleaning up the trash from painting making some plans for next clean up day pop up targets were set up and we spent the rest of the afternoon shooting , talking about shooting and gathering data about new builds. Thank You to all that came to help. Steve

OK, time for another productive Range Work Day July 10th. The new bunk sheds will be there this time so it's time for some more painting and maybe a little clean up. Same deal as before start at 0800 and work till 1400 then shoot until you get tired,run out of ammo or the wife calls you home. Better yet bring the wife if she can paint or wants to shoot a little. Same food as before please PM me so I know about how many to prepare for. Thanks for your help on the home Range.  Steve

    Two huts are in place - the good news, Steve, is they have not been wired, so you can work your magic without having to deal with all that cheap pre-wiring. >:D

     It's possible the third hut - the one to be used for showers - will be in place before the work day - can't promise, but it is likely to happen.

Huts??  With wiring for lights, electric hot plates, coffee pots, (dare I mention) air conditioners, .....

This truly has become a kinder, gentler RWVA. >:D

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
