What an amazing weekend, The fine Folks at D&J put on another private Appleseed for their group , that make 5 total  ^:)^ :F
Instructors traveled from Melrose to lakeland, and just down the street to work with this great crew.
Saturday Promised rain so the pace was fast, The fire hose was wide open and shooters drank in the knowledge of marksmanship and heritage.
We fit in 3 AQT's before the Heavens opened up.  :2t The inaugural Kentucky derby target was a hoot.  2 shooters pulled it off and then Mario, will just leave it at he did things to that backer.  :~



After the Dust settled on the weekend we had
3 new Riflemen, KAREN  :birthday: AARON and MATT
2 Re-qualified Riflemen SHELLY and BRAD
And 1 new Orange Hat , way to step up SHELLY.
A Cleared redcoat from a 1st time applseed'er and MILK???


Special Thanks, to my Fellow Instructors Smoak, Tom and Steve. Extra Special Thanks to Our Blue Hay Christy. (Blue Hats Rock)

To Brad and Jan For organizing the event and all the set up, I cant thank you enough.

Mario and Shelly. Your generosity of time and resources is staggering I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

Janet and I wished we could have been there! Well done, everyone!
The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation.  Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government. - Francis Grund 1837

Having seen Shelly, Instructing, New Shooters Twice. I do believe. That Appleseed Has a New Orange hat, that will be a GREAT asset to the Program. She Well knows What She is about.

I see a Red hat in the making. Ladyseeds will be greatly aided By Her Instructions.

But only time will tell. Me thinks a short time.
" The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms. €�  - Alexander Hamilton
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."    -- Thomas Jefferson

" The Beauty of The Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it"
Thomas Jefferson

Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.

Thomas Paine

I truly enjoyed watching the smiles on the students faces and by Sunday, smiles overruled exhaustion. As a blue hat I truly appreciate the instructors, you make it look easy, when we all know it's not. I am always encouraged when I see the students humbly learning and I can see the fires burning from the strikes that were spoken. Special thanks to Cableguy and his lovely wife Erica for providing us a bed, shower and their home. Thank you also to Mario & Shelly with D&J for treating all of the appleseed volunteers like family.
