It was a genuine honor and pleasure to bring Project Appleseed back to Hinckley, MN.

We had a wonderful group of students who made steady marksmanship progress over the weekend and were totally absorbed by the History/Heritage.

Congratulations to our new Rifleman Chris who scored a 210 despite losing some hits on that target due to some "help" from his linemates aka his sons Cor, Simeon and Christopher. What a group! Chris is home on leave from an active duty deployment in the Middle East and chose to spend his weekend at an Appleseed with his boys! Chris' fourth son couldn't make it due to a football practice injury on Friday. Thank you Chris for your service and your dedication to raising future generations of outstanding citizens.

The rest of the line showed outstanding progress throughout the weekend. The trigger control displayed by the left side of the line on stage four of our last AQT was awesome as evidenced by Mike's 200. Travis, Sophie, Bethany, Hyun-Soo, Soo-Young, Will, Alan and Mike...persist and that Rifleman patch will be yours. Just hope I'm there with you to share the experience.

Thank you BugginOut and CJCB for another weekend of great instruction. Without you guys this event would have not be able to happen.

Thank you Hinckley Conservation Club for having us back at your range...looking forward to next year.

Taylor did a fantastic job making the events of April 19,1775 come alive!
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice, â€" is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. "

(20 May 1806 - 8 May 1873) English philosopher and political economist
