AAR Monticello MN, June 29-30, 2019

[Trig]

Another great Appleseed weekend at Monticello Sportsman Club. Thank you to our gracious hosts and and a full line of attendees!

Lots of enthusiasm and teachable attitude on the line as well as a MN Senator! The road to rifleman started with 90+ heat and humidity on Saturday, a 2 hour torrential downpour on Sunday, with  high winds off and on the whole weekend, but Riflemen persevere!! Congratulations to our newest Riflemen Luke, Robert, Mike, Scott AND RifleWOman/MN's newest Orange hat Sophie!

Thank you from myself and all the instructors for being such a fine group of students.

Thanks to Schweaty and Ah Shoot! for all you did this weekend to make this another successful and safe Appleseed.

My personal expression of gratitude goes out to my mentor Colycat who came out this weekend all the way from Wisconsin to help all of us (especially ME) knock off the rust and reignite our own flames of Liberty.

Thanks to all you folks in Minnesota for making us wisco boys feel at home. Great group of shooters at a great gun club. Congrats to the riflemen and our new orange hat. I'll see you all on the Appleseed trail I'm sure.

I will treasure this day and one of those pictures for as long as I am able.

Perhaps we can top it one day, maybe tech sights and lose the big scopes eh Ah Shoot? 

You guys put on a great shoot, and maintained an extremely safe firing line.  The Board will hear a rave review on the lessons of Heritage and Marksmanship imparted to participants, especially the youth who are the future. Several of us look to grow more Appleseeds in Monticello.

Maybe Raw Bert... I will have to think on that.  Roberts68 for now.

Thank you to the Project Appleseed Instructors and coordinators behind the scene for a great event.  Thank you for giving up family time, personal time, etc. to come out and share the heritage and shooting fundamentals with us.  Congrats to the five qualifiers.  I look forward to future events with the Appleseed organization and Monticello Sportsmen Club.

This was my first Appleseed and will certainly not be my last. I can't believe I got rifleman! I brought my 8 year old son and 11 year old daughter; my daughter is eager to do another too!

Thanks to the folks who helped instruct: Trig, Ahhshoot, Schweddy B and Colycat.  You kept the line safe, really helped our marksmanship and it was obvious that you very genuinely cared about the message Project Appleseed is trying to spread. Thanks Schweddy for the loner rifles!

You guys were great with my kids. You were so calm and patient, always willing to jump in and give a hand. They both enjoyed it, but I think you made a really big impact on my 11 year old daughter. She wants to buy her own .22, wear her Appleseed shirt whenever she goes out and buy some books on the revolution.

Glad to hear from you all!

The first chapter is a lot of stage setting and "who's who?" But after that, the story is really well narrated.  Lots of the facts we use were gathered by his work in this book and recovered from diaries of the family's that lived it!

[A-lister]

Wow that's a lot of shooters on the line! Well done and keep up the good work!

A finer group of Americans would never be found than the shooters we had for this event.  It was special,  and believe me when I say that as  I have been at a few Appleseeds.

Come to another and bring 2 or 12 friends.  Lets keep this going in MN.

I had a blast and really enjoyed spending time with all of you.

Libery and Freedom for all
