Where was the first Appleseed in each state?
« on: April 24, 2019, 11:48:08 PM »
I'm calling on some of you RWVA historians to help me track down where (and possibly even when) the first event happened in each state. Please chime in below:

In the course of being nosy, I saw that the TIPS page might show you that. Go to TIPS --> Sign Ups --> PreRegs/Instructors.
Select a state and along the top there are all the years listed. For TN (my state), it goes back to 2012. I have a feeling that in the earliest days, the shoots were not recorded in this manner but it could be a jumping off point.

Wyoming was in Worland in 2006. IIRC it was also the first traveling AS outside of NC. Fred was present. I have been corrected, this event was in 2005. Thanks TB

Thanks for that input. We have data going even farther back than 2012, but we weren't quite as organized in the beginning, so the early days of the program pre-date most of our info. There aren't even many of the original instructors still active which is why I'm hoping we can preserve this info for the sake of posterity.

From the info I have the first Appleseed in New York was at Calverton Range on Long Island. This was 2006/7ish.
Fred was there and I have the photos of the event. I’ll get them posted later today or tomorrow.

Florida would be Davenport on the east coast in January 2007. Believer was a brand new SB. RIflewoman did admin and Fred hisself told the entire story on Saturday at lunch. 43 signed up (myself included) - 112 showed up. It took a front end loader and a lot of scrambling on the part of the staff. Shooters were used as models. I have no idear how they had enough targets, but I never noticed anything amiss. I never once saw them sweat. My avatar is me in prone with JuniorBirdman instructing me. Epic.

The second event was at Myakka in Feb 2008 as I recall and JB's sweetie was the SB. She saw my enthusiasm and asked "Trey, have you ever considered instructing". I said yes. That was at once, the most expensive contract I have ever entered and also the best damn deal I ever made.  O0

For Texas the first one I recall was Mingus, TX at the Tac Pro range. October 2006.

That was my first Appleseed. I recently found the receipt from my hotel stay there. Over 90 people showed up.

Others have said that there was an earlier Texas Appleseed, but man I watched for shoots in Shotgun News like a hawk back then. Mingus is the first Texas shoot I recall.

Can't swear to it, but the first Washington shoot, that I'm aware of, was April of 09 in Wenatchee. However, pretty sure at that shoot, a previous shoot was mentioned. Fred was SB.

 It was stated that Fred hisself ran it.

07. Fred did, indeed, run it, ably assisted by The Guy and Crak. And Nickle was tapped to help run one of the lines. Fred made him a Rifleman and Instructor on sight after talking to him and hearing his experience and military qualification scores. I shot an M-1 Garand at that shoot and learned how good a rifleman I was NOT.

The Guy's history was THE main reason I took an orange hat a year later at the first MA shoot at Harvard Sportsman's Club in Harvard MA - April 08. Where I shot a 210 and got doused with water that had flowed under the old North Bridge. After which I took a picture of my Rifleman patch and made this motivator:

Are there any video or audio recordings of Guy in action? I've read many stories about him, but he passed away long before I became a part of Appleseed.

Wow. Good question. I would be a bit surprised if there was; in 2007 we didn't have the humongous memories and memory cards that cell phones have today. I also don't remember many people whipping out cameras to record things like that. Certainly nowhere near the way folks do it today.

Unhappy it is ... to reflect that a brother's sword has been sheathed in a brother's breast, and that the once happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by slaves. Sad alternative! But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?
