A bit dry. but factual.

I wish they could have made it more exciting, more depth and longer.

What is it about NOT providing a link ?  Seems to be a common theme nowadays.  Yes, I know people can google.  But still.

Back to the grindstone.

Marrandy,

How about being the first one to make a comment on the article and include a link.

Too bad the headline was "Appleseed Teaching History with Guns" instead of "Appleseed Teaching History with RIFLES!"

It just aired on Fox News at 10:25. I don't know if it will repeat at :25 past next hour, or in two hours according to Fred's original post.

Hopefully this will lead to other things like radio interviews on some of the big firearms related shows.   Things like Guntalk, the NRA News show, or Armed American Radio.

It is 11:10 in Wyoming as I write this. The fox news commentator just showed a short scene of appleseed, and said the story is coming up.

The print article was better.  Too much edited out of the TV one.

Still a pretty fair portrayal, much better than NYT (who had MUCH more opportunity to get it right...).

I wish they had called them rifles, but all in all pretty good. Still hoping to be on tv so I can say I was on fox and cops.

I posted a comment to this story with the link to the Appleseed web site. It took over 1 1/2 hrs from the time I submitted it to the time my comment finally got put up. Hopefully people reading that story will read the comments that all have posted and check Appleseed out! I've also posted the story's link on my Facebook page as well. Free advertising!  O0

Thanks for letting us know about the news story!

Marksmanship can be taught and learned,
but the motivation has to be inspired for the
people to become involved.
How many have you inspired that became involved?

     Looks like we are in our second day of nationwide exposure on Fox News. At about 7:10 Eastern this morning, "Fox and Friends" aired a 2-minute segment pointing out how we use the marksmanship as a "hook" to get people to hear the heritage.

    And there's a report this morning from Texas that Fox radio news had a segment at about the 5 AM time period (hmmm, that would be 7 AM Eastern - or 6?).

    Hope some of you can catch and record - check the "ten past the hour" time slot for the next few hours... O0
