It's Summertime and that means APPLESEED time. I'd like to urge all of you freedom lovers to work on improving your shooting. We've had lots of people come to our range and shoot Rifleman level and come back the next year and they're not even close. That's because shooting well, like anything else, takes practice.
If you are interested in learning more about the Appleseed program, check out their website: www.appleseedinfo.org. Click on your state and find when and where Appleseed shoots will be held near you.
As you ponder investing this much time into your shooting skills, here is a good page to check out from the website. https://appleseedinfo.org/faq/
All I can say is that we've been hosting shoots here at our farm for 9 years. Each one has been exciting and informative. You also make powerful friendships when you're shooting on the firing line for 2 days with other lovers of freedom. It is exilerating when the line boss yells, "FIRE" and all the way up and down the line shots ring out!!
You haven't really lived until you've experienced an Appleseed shoot. I'm not exaggerating either. You WILL be a better person, not just a better shot, for attending an Appleseed. It comes from learning how much others gave for our freedom. It comes from learning what great shots they were back then. It comes from hearing how they all pulled together against tyranny. It's an American tradition!!!
I urge you to get off the couch and get down to the range this weekend!!! Better yet, attend an Appleseed. You'll be glad you did.

PS Here's a photo from one of our recent shoots. Below is a quote from the Appleseed website to inspire you to attend an Appleseed shoot near you.
Skilled Marksmanship: An American Tradition
You can’t write the story of America without including several chapters about the skill and bravery of our forefathers. On April 19, 1775, at Lexington and Concord, American colonists stood with muskets in hand and faced down the British forces that were trying to seize their arms. The colonists did it with grit, determination, and superior marksmanship. They were real marksmen: nobly and ably putting their skills on the line in pursuit of liberty.
We are the descendants of those fearless men and women who earned our freedom on the battlefield. We honor their pursuit of liberty by passing along the skills and knowledge that aided them in securing it. Today’s Rifleman understands that owning and mastering a rifle is part of his/her American heritage. Whether you’re a new shooter or a seasoned marksman, Project Appleseed can help transform you from a person with a rifle into a principled and skilled Rifleman.
