Welcome Derek. If you would like to try Hibbing Rifle and Pistol club or Itasca Gun Club (Grand Rapids) and see about hosting an Appleseed. They might be receptive to a local talking to them. PM me if you would need any information regarding this.

I've already posted a couple of other places, but here's my official MN check-in.

My 13-year-old son and I attended Hinckley Nov 27-28. It was cold, but went well. We are both planning to come back in the spring and hopefully get our rifleman patches after practicing dry firing over the winter.

I've ordered the Paul Revere's Ride book. Is there an Appleseed manual available with all the info in it? It would be nice to have a spiral-bound reference.

Thanks for all of your dedication and hard work in putting these Appleseeds on! I will do what I can to get more people involved. I will try to get some of my friends to join us either in the spring or summer next year.

The hardest thing is to get people to understand it's not a militia. The overall cultural social conditioning has been very anti-gun for a long time, and then talking about the American Revolution makes people wonder...but once you go to an Appleseed, then you see it's a very positive organization. I would sum it up as promoting an awareness of the uniqueness of American freedom, what it cost our ancestors to get us that freedom, and doing "real" stuff like shooting well, getting off the couch, and participating in the political process is much better than being an apathetic zombie TV watcher and couch potato. Would you say that's accurate?

Not sure what state me and Dicey (fka Joyce) belong to as we have spent more Appleseed time with you fine Minnesotans (sp?) than our fellow Wisconsinites and I do make an occasional forray into our former home state of Illinois so hi everybody, glad to be here. Look forward to seeing the west side of Hwy 35 again soon.

Precisely!

Blue Five finally checking in over here...I'm a native Wisconsinite over here in La Crosse, but I'm considering some of the Winona Appleseeds in 2011.

I might be able to get some other Wisconsinites to come to that one too

Good to hear...I'll assemble a raiding party for some of those Winona shoots...just like you Minnesotans did this last WinterSeed in La Crosse

I am already looking forward to the Appleseeds in 2011

Bringing this thread back from the dead.

pite0007 checking in. Native Wisconsinite and die-hard Green Bay Packers fan now transplanted in Rochester, MN. Earned my first Rifleman patch at the April 2012 shoot in Rochester. Planning on doing at least one more Appleseed shoot in Rochester this year, either the September or December (Icicleseed?) shoot. Nice to meet everyone!

AFTERMATH · « **Reply #100 on:** July 09, 2012, 11:08:11 PM »

Why not both?

IcicleSeed!!!!!

Don't worry about being from WI, originally... In fact, that could be a useful trait for one of our boarder raids!

JOEMORGAN · « **Reply #101 on:** July 14, 2012, 10:16:56 PM »

Welcome to the Minnesota forum!
It may not carry the prestige of making the "top-ten" activity list, yet, but I'm hoping we push WI aside and take strait to the top!

New to the program, haven't been to a shoot yet, hope to make one soon, even if it's in subzero weather. About me: I've lived in MN most of my life, am an avid trapper, hunter, fisherman and shooter. Been attending a lot of CMP shoots in the last few years, hope to pick up some pointers on shooting, sharpen my skills, get in some more trigger time and hopefully make a difference.

Also, to anybody in the Monticello area, I'm a member at Monti Rod and gun and can bring guests to the line if anybody's up for some winter practice. I was recently voted in as an active member and am gaining clout in the club. We have an active group interested in this kind of shooting. I hope to approach membership about hosting a shoot this summer. Looking forward to meeting some fine folks.

Hello all,
I live in Bloomington MN and support the efforts of the RWVA. Have recommended this excellent program to all of my shooting friends. It is difficult to get better training and the price cannot be beaten.
As much as the marksmanship training, I really enjoy the history lessons. I think this is an excellent way to promote and preserve our legacy of liberty.
Just finished an excellent Appleseed in Superior Wi. Ably led by Aftermath with the help of Mario and Dominic. Beautiful weather at a very nice range. This is my second Appleseed, the first being in Rochester in May. I managed to qualify as a Rifleman for the second time this weekend, but my skills had gotten rusty already in just a couple months. I really wish I could find a range here in the Twin Cities where I could lay out my mat and practice.
Thanks again for your help and support this weekend.

Good ranges are hard to find!

Thanks for checking in with the kind words. I've been too busy to play around online in the past couple weeks, but I did start the AAR - http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=41948.0
Hopefully, Privateer will check in with some pics!

I'm a transplant from WI to Madison, MN. I had been very involved in the past, but due to health problems I had to cut back. Mostly recovered now, and found a group of guys wanting to do Appleseed. We have a new young gunsmith in our town, which everyone is excited about.

Welcome old friend! Good to hear you're doing well.

Now I've gotta go figure out where Madison is...

Howdy all,

I've been reading up on the site and it looked like a good group to get involved in. I'm hoping to both get to shoot myself and also to get my kids involved. One item that looks promising is that I'm only an hour from both St. Cloud and Alexandria. I'm guessing thing will start to stir once spring comes on, but I look forward to learning.
