Thank you Blue Hills Sportsmen's Club for being a great host for another Appleseed event at your First Class facility! And thank you also for feeding us delicious lunches Sat and Sun!

We had a great group of students who were in tune with both the marksmanship instruction and the history of the founding of our Republic.

Thank you all for being a member of our Appleseed family!

Steve requalified with a 219 with iron sights this time. Congratulations Steve!

Brad's best was a 186 after two days of steady progress.

Dan, Joshua, Jaxon (who came THIS close to clearing the final Redcoat target), Jaime, Jeff and Marie all persisted over both Saturday and Sunday. You all have the Rifleman DNA in you. Persist and you'll earn your patch. I'm hoping that I will be fortunate enough to shake your hand and award it to you.

Don't to forget to 7th step and come back soon to an upcoming event!

My personal thanks go out to my fellow instructors BugginOut, Firestick, MN Ward and Panzer! Without each of your individual contributions to the overall effort we would have not had the success that this Appleseed was! See you on the trail again...sooner the better.

Also forgot to mention, would love to see some Appleseed Pistol Clinic clinics in Wisconsin, I would definitely sign up for what it's worth!

Steve - not sure where you are at in the state, but Leadlined and JoeZ are recently pistol certified shoot bosses.  I believe both are towards the Madison/Milwaukee areas and were discussing adding some pistol clinics.  In Minnesota, we have two scheduled for this month, but will be adding more as we go as we find ranges willing to host us.

If you have a range or area that you'd like, please let us know and we'll try to work with them.
