Project Appleseed
- 1999 started from a series of ads appearing in Shotgun News
by Jack Dailey under a pseudonym “Fred” - 2017 those ads ceased
- April 2006 in Ramseur, North Carolina
- 2006 instructors began a national tour to attract instructors who could maintain and develop local programs
- 2018 over 120,000 individuals have attended an Appleseed marksmanship and history clinic in all 50 states
a non-partisan group of men and women (known as the Revolutionary War Veterans Association) who are committed to upholding the values and principles of America’s founding fathers. We use rifle marksmanship instruction as a gateway to help bring our nation’s history to life and to show that many of the values that our forefathers relied on to win our independence are still very much in demand today.
Through clinics and events, we teach rifle marksmanship and early American heritage to introduce individuals of all skill levels to the knowledge that was so crucial to the success of our nation’s founders. Aside from the fun and camaraderie of these events, the designed takeaway is a renewed sense of civic responsibility that each attendee can then implement in his or her own community. If we can reconnect enough people with the selfless civic virtue of our forefathers, we as a nation will all be better off.
Our goal is to create a nation of Riflemen
