    Well, Swamp Thing & InTheBurbs and I gave it our best shot, but it isn't going to happen in Ada. They have an ordinance with the city that the rifle range has a "no blue sky" policy and shooters must shoot from the benches.

    From this month's newsletter: "Additional information was received on the Appleseed Project and it was determined that the structure of the program
    would not fit within the Club’s safety policy and will thus be not
    be approved."

    Oh, sorry.

    The “No Blue Sky” concept relies on range rules that require the shooter not to chamber a round until he is an approved position such that when he chambers he can not see blue sky. Shooting must occur beneath the low roof, thus preventing errant shots.

    I'm totally new to this and very excited to try and get an Appleseed going in West Michigan somewhere.

    Does it have to be a range? Could someone host this event on their farmland?

    I think that I have read that they can do it anywhere that it can be safely and legally done.

    If you have a place in mind, contact Swamp Thing, I believe that he is currently doing the "range development" for Appleseed.

    I think that the closest to the west side they have right now is Eaton Rapids. There are also more a little further north.

    Here is the current available events.....

    ETA:
    This is a slightly older thread, but the you can get the gist of things: http://www.migunowners.org/forum/sho...d.php?t=154253
    Just reach out and contact one of the Appleseed guys/gals in this thread, intheburbs, Garymac, Superheat, Mouse08, Pitmaster (not sure if I ever met him) or Swamp Thing, They will work with you, great bunch of guys/gals.

    The answer is YES, ABSOLUTELY! We can bring to program to anywhere we can safely shoot.
