When I was at the Winterset shoot in September there was rumor of a winterseed for Iowa. Does anyone have any details on a time or place yet?

I don't believe anything has come of trying for an Iowa Winterseed yet.

Realistically I think the best/most likely/lowest calorie option is Shenandoah.  Don has the only DAR in Iowa at the moment.  All of the other active ranges would require approval by a board and it's getting a bit late in the year for that sort of thing. 

Fearful but resolute.

I believe that Mike is getting us set up for a  Winterseed event in Winterset the second weekend in January.

If you can't wait; we've got one next weekend in Rochester, MN - It's almost Iowa....   At least for me.

Plan for now just Saturday.

Bryce has promised to wear flip flops and shorts. Not sure how he is going to attatch flip flops to his winter pac boots. Putting on shorts over the Carhardts is easy enough though.

This should be on the schedule soon. 
Normal daily fee. 
I think there is a range fee of $5 too.
It is open anyone who thinks to they are hardy enough.

Just be sure to be prepared for the weather.
Get your gear and warm clothes ready.
My last January shoot was blustery... see my avatar.

It should be fun!!

Gonna have to keep this in mind.
Hopefully it'll be -12°F with 25+ mph wind, and snowing.  ^:)^

I just checked with the Madison county sportsmans club, the range is reserved for the winterseed event and it should kick off at 8 A.M.

Not sure if it will be officially posted on the national board, so it might be a cash only deal, pay the day of the event, which is $50+5 range fee(?).

Hi all,

The Winterset Winterseed looks like it is still on.  Due to unfortunate circumstances our state coordinator was not able to post this.  He gave me permission to work on this and I am checking on the details.

Please post if you plan to attend.

Further details to follow.

So keep the faith.

Ok I know I started this thread and I know I already said that I wanted to attend, but...

That was before I learned there was going to be a rally for the Second Amendment at the state Capitol building on the same day.
January 19th, 2013 at Noon.

The entire purpose of project appleseed is to tell the story of the patriots that founded this nation and what they did to secure the blessings of liberty we enjoy today. Its mission is also
to encourage people to get involved to maintain those liberties. This is how I am going to get off the couch next Saturday.

We have a shootboss and we have the range.
The registration link is still pending.  We plan to
have this shoot!

Sounds like there are two places to be Saturday.
Hope you all are at one or the other.

Dang, of course both events are the same day... :wb:

Well, I already registered for the shoot, so I guess that's where I'll be.

See you in Winterset.
