I’m thinking about going. I read a NYT article on it in July. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/01/magazine/01Appleseed-t.html If I had heard about the apple seed project in the spring, I would have signed up with my son.
It’s a whole lot of fun. It is great to hear the history of our country, and I couldn’t believe how much better my marksmanship improved over the two days. It’s a very family friendly event. You should definitely take your son. Women, anyone under 21, and Active Duty Military, Guard, or Reserve shoot free.

We went this weekend (Actually due to work load I was only able to go Saturday, but everyone else followed up on Sunday). We learned a lot (7 yo, 9 yo, 13 yo) all improved in Safety, positioning, aiming, NPOA, sling usage, History etc.
The Instructors were professional and caring.
Don’t miss an Appleseed in your area - you will not regret attending.
