New Gun Owners and Appleseed

[CenTex]

With the many new gun owners around the country, I feel that they need to be made aware of this excellent training program. PLEAE FEEL FREE TO FORWARD THIS TO ANYONE THAT MIGHT HAVE AN INTEREST OR NEEDS TO BE MADE AWARE OF THE PROGRAM…

This is a 501 3c NON-POLITICAL group and not a militia recruitment organization!!!!

As we approach what I think will be a rather significant portion of America's history, I would encourage a review of the actions of the Patriots that gave us 'our used to be' freedoms.

I attended an 'Appleseed' event near Davila, in Milam County, a couple of years ago and was most impressed with the day; I did not follow up on it due to some physical limitations I have due to old bones and joints. I am going to attempt the program again I hope under their 'adaptive program' I might qualify for the 'Marksmanship' patch. This is a nationwide program!!!!

The two day Appleseed includes one day of intensive marksmanship shooting, intended for new shooters and good training review for more experienced shooters and the second day is for further refinement of shooting skills. I have not attended the second day event yet but the first day includes strong gun safety sessions and three sessions on the Lexington/Concord events that ignited the first Revolutionary War. I have since followed up on an intensive reading program on the Revolution War period, especially the actions in the South that eventually led to the victory at Yorktown.

I have attached two URLs that will give a little background on the program and of The Revolutionary War Veterans Association (RWVA) organization. The first is a YouTube presentation on April 19, 1775 and the second is the Appleseed site.

I've beem trying to get my 13 year old daughter to go to one.

Soon I'm going to pull the "because I'm the dad" card and just make her do it.
Once that happens I'm sure she'll be hooked. She wants to shoot in the worst way.
But just wants me to ell her how to point and shoot. I will not do that. No class, no range time.
That's dad's law.

Good luck, I sincerely hope this works out for all of you.

I have been planning to make it to one of these this year hopefully. Just saw the schedule and noticed that DFW is lined up for them at Quail Creek. Not real keen on spending any money at that range. Looks like a trip to Amarillo might be in order.

FYI the Appleseed program is done at the Progressive Defensive range. While on the same property it is not Quail Creek.
