Appleseed April 17-18: Be a Part of History!
The Appleseed Project will be holding 100 shoots nation wide next month on April 17-18 to commemorate April 19, 1775. Indiana will be holding five of those events throughout the state: Cloverdale, Evansville, Ft. Wayne, Nashville, and Wabash.
For those of you who have never been to an Appleseed Event, we put on two day Heritage and marksmanship clinics that both teach the traditional skills of American marksmanship and also teach the history behind it; particularly the people and events of April 19, 1775.
For a reference point, check out these articles about others in the industry think of Appleseed after attending our events:

For those who have been to an Appleseed, know that these Patriot's Weekend events are everything an Appleseed weekend normally is and more. At some locations there will be special history done by outside groups, and at others we will be working on longer distance shooting. At all events we will pause simultaneously to fire a memory volley for each of the Colonist Militiamen who died in the battles of April 19, 1775 and do so as the largest combined line of shooters in American history.
These weekends are limited in class size. If you are coming, please sign up asap as they are already filling. Many of these events will have other INGO people there so it is a great chance to meet, learn & practice fundamentals, exercise your freedoms as a gun owner, and listen to the vital history and heritage behind it all.
Here is a quick run down of the events:
Cloverdale: West of Indy, this range is known to many as the host of our monthly mini's. DaveD will be shoot boss and will have the honor of having the Indiana Society Sons of the American Revolution come and present during the day. (This is a special honor and more info is here).
Evansville: At the southern part of the state Redbrush is an amazing range. For anyone unable to be at this weekend's Appleseed event, or anyone wanting to return, this range and their training crew is quite the experience. Of all of our ranges, Redbrush has the longest distance capabilities.
Ft. Wayne: WRWIII and the northern Indiana crew will be at the Fort Wayne Rifle and Revolver Club doing their event. This is a very experienced crew that even includes two generations of instructors. On sunday they plan to break out the centerfires and go to 300 yards, conditions permitting.
Nashville: I will be running the event in Brown County at the Hoosier Hills Rifle and Pistol Club just outside of Nashville & Gnawbone. This is a first time for this range and a first time for the Bloomington/Nashville/Columbus area. It will be a superb time at a very nice range. If you are from the area, or attending at IU, come on out. I am expecting to see my fair share of INGO hats at this one!
Wabash: This is one of our bedrock ranges and has been holding shoots since the beginning of Appleseed. They know how to run an event and run it well. If you are from the northern part of the state, check it out.
Each of these events will be special, just like the other 95 that will be running at the same time nationwide. Take the time to come, learn, experience, and be a part of Patriots weekend in a way that our founders would recognize and understand.

Now, for any of you who cannot attend the April 17-18 weekend, do not despair. The following weekend we will have an extra 6th event at Riley on April 24-25. Riley is my home range and one that many of you have done pistol and rifle matches at. It is a great facility, has onsite camping, is always a great host and will be well worth your time if you cannot attend the April 17-18 events.
