"Adaptive?"

I have a question concerning "Adaptive Appleseed."

A close friend was scheduled to attend this past AS in Ramseur, but medical conditions precluded his attending (he is currently being worked up for possible MS).

He asked me today what the possibility was of attending AS anyway, paying the full ticket price, even if simply for the instruction and lessons in history. He states he would not wish to endanger anyone, and would likely not pursue the Rifleman's patch, as he is now using a walker and some positions (as well as time constraints) would be problematic.

I told him I would immediately get this posted to see if there is anything we can do for him.

Thanks!

Adaptive means that we will make every reasonable and SAFE adjustment needed to accommodate a person. This includes modified positions, benches, rests.... As long as it is SAFE in the eyes of the Shoot Boss we can accommodate your friend.

I have had people in wheel chairs firing off bags on a bench as well as a young man with muscle control issues firing a rifle tied down to prevent accidental sweeps.

Come. You will be taken care of.

Please contact the Shootboss ahead of time.  They will be better prepared and things will run much smoother.

Your friend will have a memorable and positive experience.
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery
