Memphis, TN Ladyseed AAR - Oct 14-15, 2023

Our annual Ladyseed event was a big hit and a mighty good time! I wondered how many sign ups we would have at first, but when it sold out I switched to wondering how many Instructors I would have lol. The group was a high energy bunch that ran the gamut from Riflewoman to never fired a firearm of any kind before.  The weather was perfect and the ladies soaked up the instruction like sponges. They were very attentive to the Strikes and 901 Gun threw in some Dangerous Dames stories on Sunday. One of the youngest shooters was yelling out the correct answers to the MOA questions on long range. They were really engaged all weekend. We had several first time Appleseeders in the hunt with scores in the low 200's. Most of the youth shooters had either never fired a firearm before or had only one time. They couldn't prep a mag on Saturday morning but by Sunday afternoon were old hands. They were very happy with themselves and all want their own rifle now. This was a very fun event and the group was all smiles all weekend


Our brand new orange hat handles safety rules


The ladies make some noise at the Saturday morning Redcoat


The results show we have some work to do although one of them with no experience did very well!

A beautiful sight. How do we get that line so straight!

Here's something you don't see every day. Grandma, Mom, and Daughter all patch at the same event. Dangerous Dames indeed


This guy hung around in the impact zone for 2 days. Was never hit. I almost dispatched him since he is a viper but didn't


A great group of Instructors who did a fantastic job at this event

As always thanks to the Mid South Riflemen for helping set up and take down. They are a huge help and big asset to Appleseed. Going to be hard to top this Ladyseed next year

This was great event. Ladyseeds are always fun and even better when they are sold out. Loved seeing ladies of all ages excited about shooting rifles and learning history. It was fantastic to see 3 generations patch. I enjoyed working with these instructors.
