What a great shoot!  Thanks for coming out to spend the weekend learning about Marksmanship and Heritage.  Hope to see everyone again.

Used to ride a Kawasaki Mean Streak motorcycle.  I'm not an angry, naked runner.  :)

And I got here from the IAAR, and was promptly disappointed by not much of note here, yet.

Maybe I would have given the shooter with the squib a little more praise here, or something. That it happened is good to know and how you handled it.  Thanks for hitting the Appleseed trail.

... to catch the fire in another American for sharing the skills and our heritage to our posterity. Maybe my perfect shots will be made by those I met along the trials and trails of Appleseed. I know that America is a nation of Riflemen.

It was a pleasure meeting everyone last weekend.  Thank you for coming out.

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.

Help Project Appleseed:
Promote Project Appleseed on your Facebook page.  Ohio's page is: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ohio-Appleseed-Project/130486700324325 Like and Share.

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 neighborhood 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!

For Liberty, each Freeman Strives
As its a Gift of God
And for it willing yield their Lives
And Seal it with their Blood

Thrice happy they who thus resign
Into the peacefull Grave
Much better there, in Death Confin'd
Than a Surviving Slave

This Motto may adorn their Tombs,
(Let tyrants come and view)
"We rather seek these silent Rooms
Than live as Slaves to You"

Lemuel Haynes, 1775

I want to thank MeanStreaker, Unbridled Liberty, Kevin and Del who got me understand the essentials needed to obtain the Rifleman patch.  Every one of the Instructors got down in the dirt to help every shooter both days in the hot Ohio sun. 

Using their instructions and tips, I was able to score high enough to obtain the Rifleman Patch. 

The history lessons were given with great detail and kept the attention of us shooters during the breaks.   I had a wonderful time sweating, shooting and learning about start of the American Revolution. 

Thanks,
Delmus -RetiredSFC
