The Survival Podcast Forum is now a READ-ONLY ARCHIVE
What the RWVA (Revolutionary War Veterans Association) is all about:History and HeritageProject Appleseed is an activity of The Revolutionary War Veterans Association, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, dedicated to teaching every American our shared heritage and history as well as traditional rifle marksmanship skills. Our volunteer instructors travel across the country teaching those who attend about the difficult choices, the heroic actions, and the sacrifices that the Founders made on behalf of modern Americans, all of whom are their posterity.Our heritage program vividly portrays the Battles of Lexington and Concord with the kind of care and immediacy that is absent from most formal schooling. Modern listeners are confronted with the danger, the fear, and the heartbreaking separations that arose out of the choices made on April 19th, 1775. They are also reminded of the marksmanship skills and masterful organization that ultimately helped set the colonists on the path to success. Those who attend gain a better understanding of the fundamental choices faced by our ancestors as they began to set the stage for the nation we now enjoy.

Angus, a couple of years ago there was an Appleseed held at Woolmarket (just north of Biloxi), jpbearit (he's sorta still around) and I both shot at that one. There's also a new range/school just getting open near Picayune. Something more central, maybe up near Hattiesburg would pull in more MS people though. Will keep digging around.
We have a group of about a dozen friends going to the one in Manchester TN this weekend. Why I even managed to get my wife to participate in it since it's close to the April 19, 1775 anniversary and she loves American history. They have scheduled some period dressed actors with black powder rifles to participate and educate as well.
