Hoorah for Iowa!
Two more events for the state, April 30-May 1 and Sept 17-18

Chase the Adventure (between Calmar and Decorah) is primarily a bird hunting club, but they've got a pistol range and a 100yd range as well.
There is a hunting lodge on site with great accommodations which should fill up fast!  If the rooms are all booked, there's primitive camping available too!

Spent the weekend criss-crossing NE Iowa putting up flyers and trifolds and talking to anyone that did not escape fast enough concerning the Inaugural AS event near Decorah at the end of this month.  Positive responses in Eitzen MN, Waukon IA, Monona IA and Decorah itself!  The manager of the gun department of the busiest sporting goods store in Decorah is a very enthusiastic Winona, MN Appleseed veteran that took all of my remaining flyers and trifolds and promised to fill the lines through his own personal contacts.  "Rusty" specifically asked if any of the "young instructors" from Winona would be coming down, and expressed great enthusiasm about meeting them again, achieving his Rifleman score and ABOUT BECOMING AN INSTRUCTOR HIMSELF ( he is an NRA instructor already).

Great venue, great hunting lodge to stay at and a potential major breakthrough for the growth of Project Appleseed in NE Iowa!

Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois and Wisconsin participants (shooters and instructors) are invited and highly encouraged!

As a bonus, hear the Second Strike from one of Acton's own Minutemen, and several other special presentations! 

HUZZAH!

At the Decorah shoot last weekend, we got a contact  for that, and will be following it up.  Border raids will intensify  until the marksmanship improves!

Better watch what you wish for Kosciusko. It may not be long before things are changed around. Who knows, the Winona Appleseed may become the Great Northern Iowa Appleseed  ;D

All kidding aside thanks to all that showed up for this weekend. It was a great group of shooters and Instructors.
