New Gun Owners and Appleseed

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.

********************* THIS PROGRAM ENDS ON DECEMBER 31 AT CLOSE OF THE BUSINESS DAY ***********************************

There is a gift certificate program available that lets you purchase admission to the two day event for $50.00 for male members over 18. Females are discriminated against with a much cheaper rate and under 18's can attend free with an adult paid admission. Some Military and LEO's are admitted free. On January 1st the admission will increase to $80.00. for more information and ordering, visit:

Our kids and grand kids will find the Gift Certificates in their stockings.

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. :smash:

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.
