Phil Wylie alerted me to a way cool event coming up soon in his home state, Illinois.<br \/>\nThe organization is hoping to get its biggest turnout ever, three hundred participants on the firing line simultaneously, at an Appleseed scheduled for September 11-12 at the Aurora Sportsman\u2019s Club in Waterman, Illinois.  What better date to make a personal commitment to patriotism and the heritage of the American spirit?<br \/>\nThe Appleseed folks expect to have sixty firearms instructors on the line, the best and the brightest of their nationwide cadre of skilled shooting coaches and history lecturers. Maximum cost will be $70, and the event will be FREE for kids, women, military personnel, and graduates of previous Appleseed programs.  You can be part of the history of a worthy organization at its largest event to date, and meet a great many like-minded people.<br \/>\nInformation is available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.appleseedinfo.org\/300.html\" target=\"_blank\">www.appleseedinfo.org\/300html<\/a>, and you can make reservations through Illinois state coordinator Dan Hendrickson at <a href=\"mailto:mailto:IL@appleseedinfo.org\" target=\"_blank\">IL@appleseedinfo.org<\/a>. I\u2019d be there if a long-standing training schedule didn\u2019t preclude it, and I think everyone who does manage to get there will have a great experience they\u2019ll remember for a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The Backwoods Home cover for the &#8220;Appleseed issue&#8221;&#8230;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/MassadAyoob\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/cover123.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-964\" title=\"cover123\" src=\"http:\/\/backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/MassadAyoob\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/cover123.jpg\" alt=\"Appleseed Cover\" width=\"310\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/MassadAyoob\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/cover123.jpg 310w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/MassadAyoob\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/cover123-230x300.jpg 230w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8230;and, thanks to Annie and the headquarters crew in Gold Beach, the poster for the upcoming Appleseed mega-shoot.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/MassadAyoob\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/revised_appleseed_poster_sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-966\" title=\"revised_appleseed_poster_sm\" src=\"http:\/\/backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/MassadAyoob\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/revised_appleseed_poster_sm.jpg\" alt=\"Appleseed Poster\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/MassadAyoob\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/revised_appleseed_poster_sm.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/MassadAyoob\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/revised_appleseed_poster_sm-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve read here, and in the pages of Backwoods Home Magazine, about the Appleseed Project, a great combination of American Revolution history lecture and strong, basic rifle marksmanship and safety training.
