Yep that link says the 26th & 27th and so does my calendar.... So it all looks official now. But you knew that about 2-3 weeks ago. :spank:

[dmo8361]

Registered this morning and printed my ticket.

I did know that, but now it's official:woohoo1:

[Hawkhavn]

I handed out two of those new patches in Kentucky yesterday, it wasn't easy but they persisted. I may have to schedule a road trip in February...

[Superheat]

Last call!
Only two spots left as of today. Don't miss out on a great opportunity to spend a weekend learning marksmanship and heritage. The shoot will be outdoors with a building to warm up in (if needed).
How will your equipment work in the winter?
How will you react to the winter weather?
This will be Michigan's FIRST winterseed and probably the only chance to get the NEW winterseed patch this year. BTW, who will be the first person to earn the Winterseed patch on Michigan soil? Sounds to me like bragging rites for some time to come.
Get off that couch and just do it! You won't regret it.
Superheat.

[gidaeon]

Think I just took the last two tickets. I'm going both days, my wife just Sun.
Appleseeds are addictive!

[Mouse08]

that a second line may be opening up for Lapeer. So, if you want to get registered keep checking and when there are openings sign up fast!

Hee Hee Hee, I heard something too.

[intheburbs]

We still are waiting on permission from the club to use the second line. Nothing definite yet.

Correct.

That will be Decided at the Board Meeting on Jan 26th.

I would take Mouse08's advise Tho.....:lipseal:

[gidaeon]

Any chance on the 200yd. range for part of Sun. this time?

[Roundballer]

Any chance on the 200yd. range for part of Sun. this time?
No. There are other things going on at the Club that preclude the use of the rifle range for anything on Sunday.

It is reserved for the October Appleseed though.

OK, we have six more slots opened up for this event. Sign up now!

As always - feel free to PM me with any questions.

[Superheat]

DON'T HESITATE, THERE ARE ONLY FOUR SPOTS LEFT for the first Michigan Winterseed.
How will you react when required to put shots on target in cold conditions? Learn how your equipment will react in cold weather.
BTW, we have a really nice building to warm up in. (don't tell the guys in Illinois)
You won't regret it. Sign up today.
If you have any questions feel free to P.M. me.

All right guys I am signed up for the winterseed on Saturday. What distance are we shooting at. Are we using the rifle or pistol range and what targets are we using?
Thanks

[gidaeon]

(disclaimer) I'm just a participant.. but I think you will find this helpful:

http://appleseedshoot.blogspot.com/2008/03/real-scoop-on-what-to-bring.html

Targets should be setup for 25m. Much of Sat. will likely be spent on 1 squares on a grid. Expect time on some history, and watching demonstration of sling use, positioning, NPOA, ect,. Sunday is primarily AQT's in the afternoon. Each appleseed takes a somewhat unique personality and the wonderful IITs and shoot-boss will adjust as such.

(disclaimer) I'm not a participant.... I am just a club member that knows what is going on at the club. The PISTOL RANGES are reserved for this event, There are conflicting events going on that preclude the use of the rifle range for that weekend.

If you look on the LCSC Calendar (http://www.lapeersportsmens.org/cal/feb.htm), you can see that the pistol ranges are "closed" for this event. That "closed" notation means that the facility is in use for that event.

[tenthumbs]

Looks like Gidaeon covered everything except which Range. It will be at the Pistol Building.

Starrjamr [sp] has my Phone # call me if I can Help.

I also have 4 Game Dinner Tickets for You Guys.

[hemmingsenm]

Thanks guys I now know what to expect. Tenthumbs already told us to be prepared to be humiliated as it not as easy as what it seems. By the way thanks for the tickets to the wild game dinner I am planning on going to the pin shoot on Sat so if you are there we will square up on the tickets.

[Superheat]

Less than two weeks now. Don't miss the chance for Michigan's first and only winterseed.

[Trackman]

Oh I am Set. New Shooting Mat, extra mag, & InTheBurbs is Brining me a GI sling. Lets go get a new Patch. Wow I hope I get it now that I have spent all this money. Bring on the Cold. If the Frozen Chozin can do what they did and all the Other Service men and women that have endured treaturous Conditions surely I can do it for 2 Days. Don't tell everyone we have a Heated outdoor Range.

[intheburbs]

Who wants one? Come get them! Don't forget we have another shoot scheduled at Lapeer - 3/26-3/27!

[Superheat]

Well, you missed out on preregistration which would guarantee you a spot on the line.... If your kicking yourself and still want to shoot the FIRST WINTERSEED in Michigan you might get in by showing up on saturday at 8:30. I can NOT guarantee it but there might be room for TWO more.
There is a $10 penalty for not registering. If you show up we will do everything we can to get you in.

I know you guys are super busy right now, but is there any talk of a winterseed for 2012 yet?:hoppinhappy: I really want to get one of those winter rifleman patches!:phaser:

[Trackman]

I will Let Superheat and intheburbs answer Officially but I was under the impression that LCSC would be the Goto place for Winterseeds in Michigan. Not to say that there won't be any anywhere else but how many have a Heated OUTDOOR Firing Line. We also have a Building with heat and Restrooms Right at the Firing Line.
Oh yeah and its a Blast (No pun intended).
Due to Weather we actually ended up having 2 Winterseeds last year even though only 1 was scheduled. Check out the Pics.

[Superheat]

With the Michigan weather lately (90's)... having a WINTERSEED SOUND AWESOME !!! LETS DO IT say next week, oh Yeah were going to Bellevue first. Alright after Bellevue then Winterseed!!
Well put Trackman. I do believe that is the plan to have another one...two or MORE winterseeds at Lapeer.
:uzi:

Stay tuned for 2012 schedule. Meantime, Get to a "normal" appleseed ASAP!
Have some fun and learn a lot.

Superheat.
