Four great Americans chose to spend their Saturday learning marksmanship and the amazing story of April 19, 1775 at the Hobbs Island Shooting Range.  All were attending their first Appleseed.

We had a good mix throughout the day of instruction, practice, coaching, and history.  Everyone had a positive attitude and were eager to learn.  As each drill was completed, the improvement was clearly seen at the target line.  The event flowed smoothly and we were able to shoot three AQTs!  Persist, and that rifleman patch will be yours!

It was a very successful Appleseed.  On behalf of the instructors, I want to thank all of you for spending your time with us.  It was an honor to serve you.  Be sure to tell your friends and family about your Appleseed weekend and how our Founding Generation preserved Liberty for us.  We want to see you (and your friends and family) at another Appleseed soon!

I appreciate the work the instructors did this weekend.  You all certainly made my job a lot easier.

Lastly, a big thanks to the Hobbs Island Shooting Range for graciously hosting this event.

Thank you Eddie for organizing, and the shooters for hanging with us.  There's no better way to spend a Saturday.  I hope to see y'all again soon!

Just wondering about the picture of Caleb and Mark; was the one youngster left eye dominant and trying to shoot right handed, just moving around, getting into position, or something else?  He's sure in an awkward position...
When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them,  and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

He was not right eye dominant. Not sure why he chose to be in that position. We got him down flat and his shooting improved tremendously when all of that muscle tension went away. But he kept coming back to it and had to be reminded to get flat. When asked if he was having problems getting a good site picture flat he said no, but maybe that wasn't the case and that's why he kept doing "the worm".

It looks like a good time was had to all...hate I missed it.
In giving us dominion over the animal kingdom, God has signified His will that we subdue the beast within ourselves.
John Lancaster Spalding

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1775

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."  George Washington 1790

"[T]o preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…"
- Richard Henry Lee, Declaration Signer

Practice every time you get a chance. - Bill Monroe
