Similar to the "Waterman 300", Appleseed has been offered a great opportunity to partner with the State of Illinois, Department of Natural Resources World Shooting and Recreational Complex in Sparta, Illinois as they host their SCTP Nationals Competition.

This is the Scholastic Clay Target Program which will be for youth aged 10-18.  In addition to the elimination trials and championships with the clays, WSRC wants to offer additional shooting sports opportunities to keep the participants involved over the course of the week.

Appleseed has been offered the opportunity to have three days of availability to run mini-youth Appleseed courses over the three days of July 17-21.

So, be thinking about this and see if you can fit in some "during-the-week" instruction time.  I'll be posting more as we get the logistical details established over the next week.

Here is a real good opportunity for us to break into new markets.  We will need many instructors so try to be a part of this.   O0

Thanks!

I have signed up to instruct @ the July 14 - 15 Sparta, IL Appleseed Shoot and will be able to participate at least two of the days (July 17 - 21).

I don't suppose there might be a way to "pre-introduce" SCTP Parents/Sponsors to Appleseed through the weekend shoot? That might encourage them to guide their children for our History/Instruction.

Sparta is working on getting sponsors to donate the rifles for us to use.   O0

More information to come as the details get finalized.

Uhhhh, PG, could you explain the three days of 17-21 a little better so people might have a better idea of exactly what they are signing up for?  :-\    ;)

OOPs. I forgot I was on IP when I made that last post about the 3 days.  #)
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add "within the limits of the law" because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.  Thomas Jefferson

I have the Illinois 300 Spartan logo patch I did two years ago. We can redo it as the 400 if you would be interested.

Aut viam inveniam aut faciam- will find a way or I will make one".
"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."  one who has not qualified himself with the M-16 may not be considered to be a responsible citizen."

—Jeff Cooper, The Art of the Rifle

"Terrorism is the best political weapon, for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death."
-- Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) German Nazi Dictator
 

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in

Castle Mountain - redoing the Sparta 300 patch sounds like a great idea.  Wait a week or so until we get the number firmed up.

Mutti, the EIP will be launched very soon.  Still waiting on a few more details from the Sports Complex director.

Stay tuned!!

Update info. We're planning to run the first 400 kids who sign up, relay style through classroom, preshoot education, then shooting.  The POI is yet to be done based on the schedule.  The Il Dept. of Natl. Resources director will be having a meeting next Wed.  We will know more after that.   O0

Is this going to show up on the I.S.?  Or is it not an 'official' AS event?
