E185: Project Appleseed Reloaded Sep 05, 2016

Show notes

In this episode, we go deep into the ITRH vault to hear a classic not available in the public feed, episode 38. You'll hear from the late great Scout, head of the Texas chapter of Project Appleseed. And I'm joined by co-host Jonathan who helped found ITRH. We all discuss what I still consider the best traditional rifle marksmanship program.

Whether you are a new shooter, a seasoned hunter, or tactically trained, Appleseed will teach you something and improve your rifle skills. However, Project Appleseed's rifle marksmanship instruction is only a piece of the lessons learned. Attendees also learn about early American History, what a true rifleman (or woman) is, and meet some amazing quality people along the way.

Project Appleseed attendees come from all walks of life and political backgrounds. It's a place for learning and community building.

Topics:

* What Project Appleseed is. * What Project Appleseed is NOT. * Who can attend and what it costs. * Does Project Appleseed have any political affiliations? * The rifle marksmanship taught by Project Appleseed. * The history taught by Project Appleseed. * Patriotic Duties * Personal Responsibility
