"Unhappy it is, though, to reflect that a brother's sword has been sheathed in a brother's breast and that the once-happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by a race of slaves.  Sad alternative!  But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?" - George Washington - from a letter to a close friend after the events of April 19, 1775

"There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our (the United States) overthrow.  Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter.  From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger.  I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing." - Daniel Webster, June 1, 1837

Reddot

Thanks Bill,
I'm penciling both of these in on my calendar; I think I can twist Scuzzy's arm into coming as well O0
Give my best to John.

There was some discussion about this, and we certainly could accommodate one, but it's not going to happen this year.

Shot a HP match across the course (200, 300, & 600 yards) with my M14 in Pecos today and won the match - DID ANYONE EVER TELL YOU THAT THE SAME SKILLS LEARNED AT AN APPLESEED MARKSMANSHIP CLINIC APPLY AT THE FULL DISTANCE?

The first Midland Appleseed event for 2012 is about three weeks out.  Y'all take advantage of the extraordinary marksmanship training and exceptional history as taught by some of the best instructors I have had the privilege to work with in about six years of being involved with this program.

Will be there. Me and Chuck will be there Thursday evening so we can have a full day of shooting on Friday. I dang sure can use the practice. Last AQT I shot was a 200! Didn't help with doublefeed on state 2 but that's just making excuses. Did get 86 on stage 4 but that didn't pull my rear out of the dirt. So yeah, I need a day at the range.

Hope to see you Friday out at the range too.

Online pre-registration has ended, but don't worry... you can still pay at the range in the morning and shoot all day.  O0

Don't miss out on this opportunity.  Take advantage of the excellent marksmanship instruction, detailed historical stories told in a way that you've probably never heard before, and honor the sacrifices for liberty made on our behalf.

See how you can become part of the solution going forward.
