Mister Rawles,
My husband and I have two editions of "Patriots",
both heavily highlighted. I shudder to think that your books sounds all too
prophetic
about
now.
I've seen you reference The
Appleseed Program [of rifle matches and clinics]
on your web site, but I can't determine if you have ever been to one of our
events.
If you haven't,
it is
truly worth
the time, since we are about more than just marksmanship. That is just the
hook
to get people to come.
We teach the history of the beginning of the Revolutionary War and the mindset
of the people involved. Somehow Appleseed changes people. It gets people off
their rears to come and it gets prompts many to take up the call to spread
the word of involvement. It gets people thinking. Appleseed has given me hope
that there are good committed people out there and that with them, not all
of America is lost. It has also proven to be an excellent way to meet like
minded people. If the worst comes to pass, I have the marksmanship skills to
survive and I now know many others who do as well.
My husband and I are new instructors, as we have taken up the call. We are
involved in teaching in the Southwest, but there are classes around the country,
so everyone should be able to find one relatively close by. The training is
highly effective and I have yet to see anyone, even experts, leave without
some new skills.
Sincerely Yours, - G.F.in New

Hello Jim,
A little follow up to MJM's article on basic marksmanship. He is 100% spot
on. The fundamentals and basics of marksmanship are the foundation that all
shooting is built on. I would recommend seeking out NRA high
power competition to improve their rifle shooting skills. High power shooters
are
always looking
for new people and welcome them with open arms and are willing to teach.
Plus the matches are just plain fun and gives you goals to strive for and
measure your progress against. Also don't forget Fred's Appleseed program
as well. Take care, - Jeff in Ohio
