Man, that old Johnny Appleseed was a real patriot. He planted apples trees everywhere so Americans could have inexpensive hard cider and he set up shooting ranges so they could protect their freedom to drink it.
Wait….
So I was doing something before the hipsters heard of it?
So does that make me cool?
In all seriousness though…
At one of the last AS shoots I worked we had two guys and a young woman that could be described as hipsters. And they were pretty good students. Took the instruction well, asked good questions, and all three showed pretty good improvement by Sunday afternoon. If they’re willing to show up, listen, and learn I’m thrilled to have ’em.
You don’t know how bad your shooting form is until you did your first appleseed. Amazed that it’s legal in NYC, probably was infiltrated as a terrorist training camp by NYPD.

“…probably was infiltrated as a terrorist training camp by NYPD.”
Hopefully they picked up some marksmanship pointers while they were there.

I wish I had the aloe vera contract for NYPD, cause they just got severely burned.

As a matter of fact, I have heard of it.

Yeah, this is my dad’s old lightsaber. It’s vintage.

Never heard of AS.
I sure heard of NRA rifle education, safety, and marksmanship, that was part of my summer camp experience, at 10 years old.
By who, and why, was the NRA founded?
I guess politics were um…different then.
