UPDATE: We've decide to put this event on the calendar and open it up for registration. Please see the Maryland page at the Project Appleseed web site.
I'm looking to see if there would be any interest in a weekday Project Appleseed event at Berwyn Rod and Gun Club in Bowie, MD. This would be a one-day event on Wednesday, April 4, 2018, during the PG County School's Spring Break.
Centerfire rifles would be permitted at this event. A semi-automatic rifle with a detachable magazine is recommended. If you don't have one, just let us know beforehand and we'll be glad to set you up with a loaner rimfire rifle to use for the event.
Project Appleseed's heritage program vividly portrays the Battles of Lexington and Concord with the kind of care and immediacy that is absent from most formal schooling. Modern listeners are confronted with the danger, the fear, and the heartbreaking separations that arose out of the choices made on April 19th, 1775. They are also reminded of the marksmanship skills and masterful organization that ultimately helped set the colonists on the path to success. Those who attend gain a better understanding of the fundamental choices faced by our ancestors as they began to set the stage for the nation we now enjoy.
The Project Appleseed rifle marksmanship program complements that history and heritage. The focus is on teaching the traditional American marksmanship skills for three-position shooting. There are, however, several aspects of the marksmanship program that deserve special mention. Project Appleseed is particularly proud of their younger attendees. In accordance with applicable local laws, young people with sufficient maturity are welcome to the Appleseed line and can, with parental permission, join the cadre. The RWVA recognizes the importance of introducing a wide cross section of Americans to their marksmanship heritage.
I'm hoping to move forward on this over the coming week. If you are interested in such an event, please let me know either by responding to this thread or by emailing me at PublicEvents@berwyn.org.
Thanks,
Mike.
