Wilmore, KY, AAR - Sept. 28-29, 2013

[Unbridled Liberty]

What an outstanding weekend to spend with liberty-minded Americans!  We had 16 shooters turn out on Saturday, and 9 on Sunday at the beautiful Bluegrass Sportsman's League property near Wilmore, KY.

A special note of thanks to the parents who took good care of their children this weekend; Keith brought his daughters Callie and Ava, David brought his son Wesley, Eric and Lydia brought Sarah and Aaron, and Rick and Donna brought Katie.  I hope I didn't miss anyone.  I always like to see parents and children experiencing Project Appleseed together.

BTW, Keith is the owner of Accurate Armory in LEXINGTON, Kentucky, home of "The New Kentucky Rifle" http://www.accuratearmory.com/Home.aspx  HUZZAH!

Congratulations to our two new Riflemen!  Sofjon, from LEXINGTON, Kentucky, scored a 210 on Sunday afternoon and was appropriately doused with symbolic North Bridge water.  Brad, from Indiana, scored a 219 and avoided the moisture.  This was Sofjan's and Brad's first Appleseed event!  Well done, and I hope we see you again (with relatives and friends) very soon.

Barry, Karen and Carter; it was very nice meeting you.  I hope to see you at another event soon.  Mike; it was good seeing you again.  Don't make yourself so scarce my friend! 

To our outstanding Instructors from Indiana; Mudcat, Slow2Speak and Barbie;  THANK YOU for driving all the way down here to help the struggling Kentucky cadre.  It is an honor to serve with you. 

An RWVA Instructor would be happy to come and speak to your club or group and present the Three Strikes.  We call these non-shooting events "Libertyseeds".  Here is the website for more information: www.libertyseed.org. You may use the site to request a Libertyseed event, join the RWVA or make a donation.

An Rx for all attendees:

Get a GI web sling here: http://www.appleseedstore.flyingcart.com/?p=detail&pid=10&cat_id=
Lots of dry fire practice, by the numbers, making sure to first go through your Steady Hold Factors.
Practice finding, shifting and verifying your NPOA.
Practice Inches Minutes and Clicks.
Please attend another Appleseed clinic and bring at least two new people with you.  If every 2013 Kentucky attendee returned and brought only two new people, and each of those new people brought only two more, and so on, by the 2016 election we will have had over 20,000 NEW people who have attended a Project Appleseed event in Kentucky!  Here is the 2013 Kentucky schedule:

Help Project Appleseed:
Promote Project Appleseed on your Facebook page.  Kentucky's page is: https://www.facebook.com/KentuckyRifleman 
If you have shot a Rifleman score (210 points or greater on the AQT test), become an RWVA Instructor in Training (aka Orange Hat).  If you have not yet shot a Rifleman score, join Applecore (aka Blue Hats) and help at shoots with check in, range safety and other duties, or help behind the scenes with promotional efforts.  We will find a place for you if you volunteer!

A few ideas on how to help your community, state and nation:
First, start at home: Be a good spouse and parent. "Take good care of the children".  Make sure your household is prepared for natural disasters.
Then, get involved in your community: Be a good neighbor and watch out for each other. Become a block captain for your neighborhood. Organize a neighboorhood watch program.   Build wheelchair ramps for the disabled, and meet other special needs in your community.  Attend school board and town council meetings, or better yet, run for a position!  Get involved in your local Community Emergency Response Team

Write letters and make phone calls about issues that concern you.  I have been informed by people in the know in Frankfort that when the the capitol switchboard gets 1 telephone call for or against a certain issue, they multiply that by 14,000!  That's about the same as the number of militia that turned out by April 20, 1775!  And this is for the little ol' state of Kentucky.  Imagine what multiplier they use when you call Washington, DC!  You can be an army of one simply by voicing your concerns and opinions to your lawmakers!

It is every American's birthright to own a .30 caliber battle rifle: Here is the CMP Garand sales page:

It was nice to get back to the Blue Grass for the weekend. What better way to do it then working an Appleseed line with so many fine patriots. Lots of families and friends on the line. I got a few pictures but one did not come out must have been my finger over the lens  Good thing we retook Rifleman pictures in front of Issac Davis.
An attentive group at the Saturday am briefing.

Listen to what those targets are saying they will not lie to you.

Sofjan shoots a 210 and gets a dose of North Bridge water.

The young ones always touch my heart at a shoot. Huzzah!


Sorry Brad it was your picture that  my finger was blocking.

I hope to see you all on the line again soon.
