Burlington Flats Appleseed Shoot, July 17-18

[thelight]

So Laditek and I had a great time at the Appleseed shoot last year (see review here) and have been itching to go to another one. Low and behold! Another one! It would be great to have a few other ZS folks along. Camping could be arranged at my cabin, which is about an hour away.

So, anyone interested besides us?

Cool, Edmeston is about 25 minutes from me.
There are a number of state forests even closer, and I'm very familiar with the area.
I'll have to see what I can arrange for the weekend.

Marlin 795 has been ordered. Count me in at this point. As I said in Mike's thread, I'd like to incorporate something (perhaps cooking) or somesuch into the trip as well.

Ok so other folks want to go! Awesome! Please go and register now. These things tend to fill up fast, so registering early is important.
I'll do so now as well.
Anyone else who wants to join up with us, just register at the Appleseed link above! The more the merrier!

As for logistics, I'm good with camping at the site or back at the cabin. The site will probably have the appleseed instructors hanging around and could have some fun stories associated with it. The one problem with the cabin is the hour commute. This means being up and out by about 6:30. Anyone have any preferences?

[Rush2112]

I'm easy.

[thelight]

Gah! Nooo! They're Sold Out!
Crap. Ok, I'll look for another one. There was one in August and one in September if I recall... I'll get the dates and post more info here later.

[Rush2112]

The hell, you say! I bought a gun specifically for this trip!

Wait, why am I angry? I have a new gun!

[MikeM]

We could always go to one of the red neck ranges on the state land around there, and put on our own "Peach Pit Shoot"
