Ladies,

This is the one you have been waiting for. The FIRST all female Appleseed in California. It will be held at the West End Gun Club. Here is a link to the range website. www.wegc.org

The date is June 26 & 27, 2010. Be there by 8:30 AM to check in.

If you don't have a rifle of your own, make a note in the sign up comments, & we will try our best to arrange a loaner rifle for you. Be sure, bring 400 to 500 rounds of .22lr ammo and you should be set.

We shoot at 25m (82 ft) at a reduced size Army Qualification Target, scaled for 100, 200, 300, & 400 yd shooting. We do not require the use of specialized gear, it really is a "run what you brung" shoot. We suggest the use of between .22 - 8mm rifles. Iron sights, Tech-Sights, scopes, semi auto, bolt action, lever action, pump action, if you have it, & want to learn how to shoot it better, bring it!!

Plan on shooting about 250 rounds of ammo, per rifle, per day. The range is our classroom, & we very much believe in teaching, & shooting.
           
There will be no charge for this Appleseed as ladies shoot for free. There will, however, be a range fee that we will be paying to the range. The Range Fee is as follows $10/day/adult, $5/day under 18. WEGC members and affiliated family members with WEGC ID cards do not pay range fees.

We gather at lunch on site to explain the importance of April 19, 1775, and the beginnings of our Nation, & our Heritage. There are a few tables at the range and some bench type seating areas. For more comfort bring a chair. Plan to bring a bag lunch both days. Either way, I guarantee you will not want to miss this portion of the event. Come learn about the choices made by the men and women of Colonial America, and their final response to an oppressive Government. See if you can see any comparisons that might be drawn between then & now. Consider what your own choices are.
Answer the question, What would you have done?

We recommend you bring: Rifle; Ammunition; Sling; shooting jacket; elbow pads; shooting mat (or carpet remnant); water/drink bottles; most importantly a teachable attitude. For more information on what to bring go to www.appleseedinfo.org click on the link below the picture of the Eagle.

We have 25 spaces available, so make sure you register online as soon as possibles so you do not miss out on this opportunity!!
