We have an Appleseeds shoot coming up in Florida!
Project Appleseeds is a non-profit, 501c3 organization that teaches rifle marksmanship and American History - specifically the events of April 19th, 1775 - the day of "The shot heard 'round the world", in two-day weekend clinics.
We are committed to maintaining the traditions of the Founders - Rifle marksmanship and the value of Liberty.
The Hernando Sportsman's Club has agreed to host an event on October 4th and 5th. http://www.hernandosportsmansclub.com/
So saddle up and get the word out. http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=3152.0
This is an awesome range located on the west coast of Florida, just south of the town of Homasassa, right off U.S. 19 in the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area. Plenty of great camping and hotels in close proximity. It boasts 160 feet of COVERED firing line on a 200 yard range with berms on all three sides. The club is second to none and the staff top notch.
We may be restricted to 40 shooters, so keep an eye out for this one on EventBright so you can register early. Go to www.rwva.org and click on "Appleseeds" for more info and to register.
If you honor us with your presence and a teachable attitude, we will send you home with something that money cannot buy - smaller groups (along with the tools to make them really small) and a greater understanding of the sacrifices made long ago to secure the Freedoms that allowed you to buy a week's worth of marksmanship training for only $70.00!
Lady Liberty will not beg you to attend.
You could spend that weekend "puttering" or "vegging out" on the couch. Or, you could wake up Monday morning and look in the mirror at someone that made the "Lady" proud.
Life is about choices.
On April 19th, 1775 your ancestors made a hard choice between submission or fighting. They chose to fight the most powerful military the world had ever known and purchased in our stead, at a cost of blood and sacrifice beyond our comprehension, a third option - to work within the system of government that they created to maintain the Freedoms that we all take for granted every day of our spoiled lives.
Will you honor their sacrifice by coming out and having fun? Is that too much to ask?
Talk is cheap - only actions count.
Your Forefathers believed in Liberty and the marksmanship required to maintain it. What do you believe in?
