Bunker Hill Day at Piru, CA Appleseed June 20-21, 2009

[bob 210]

   The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775 and to commemorate the valiant efforts of our Founding Fathers, we will tell you the

events of that day at Mt. Appleseed. The next Appleseed Clinic will be held at our Designated Appleseed Range (DAR) out at Wes Thompson's Piru

Rifle Range in Piru, CA on June 20-21, 2009. This is also Father's Day weekend and what better way to thank your Father than take him to an

Appleseed! You can even camp at the range. Sounds like an excellent Father/Son or Father/Daughter weekend to me!

Don't miss this opportunity to test your skills against the AQT (army qualification target) and learn what it takes to move from

being an American rifle owner to becoming an American Rifleman!

Bring your friends, your family, your co-workers and immerse yourself in the heritage that is Rifle Marksmanship in America!!!!

Ladies shoot FREE, under 21's shoot FREE, active military and guard with ID shoot FREE in 2009!

Hone those shooting skills, make new friends, and get back in touch with our Rifleman Heritage.

Get in those pre-reg's for the upcoming June 20-21, 2009 Piru, CA Appleseed. This gives us an idea of how many instructors to have available to

be able to properly cover the line, let alone get an accurate count of targets, t-shirts, hand-outs, etc.

So who is coming to the Piru, CA Appleseed June 20-21, 2009, and have you pre-reg'ed yet? Remember....it costs $45 for one day and $70 for

two days if you pre-reg and it now costs $50 for one day and $80 for two days if you don't pre-reg.
