Regular Appleseeds are done by RWVA, and we have our own insurance. The shooters also sign liability waivers.

As a matter of fact...
PM incoming.
where are you? maybe there's one closer?
Dadio,
Welcome! Come on down. The first run at this will be Wednesday at 6pm.
I should warn everyone I won't be as organised as I'd like for the first go 'round. Life got in the way over the weekend so I didn't get down to the range to do a dry run as planned.
Tonight I'll dry fire the course of fire in my living room to check the timing and make sure we can complete it in 1.5 hours.
If you can, zero your rifle at 25m (82feet) before Wednesday.

I'll be calling Match Shot this afternoon to see if they have a sling and some mounts for my Marlin Model 60. If so, I'll see what I can do to get there tomorrow night.
Should I pull my cheapie Sears scope off it?

5/25 Update:
FYI:
I received tacit approval from the club today (well, actually from the bartender - that may sound strange, but it is the way the place runs), she was supportive and suggested the club president would be as well. I left my name and number for him to call me. I'm not expecting a problem. When we talk I'll see what I can do to get the club to officially sponsor it, not just block range time, so that membership in the club can be waived (insurance reasons).
There was some question as to whether this was officially "Appleseed" or not. I said no, but that we were following the format and that some kind souls that are actual Appleseed instructors may come out to help us out. I need to check with the Appleseed org to see what I need to do to make it "official" or if there is such a thing for the mini-shoots.
Next scheduled shoot (unofficial for now): June 4th (June 5th Rain date)

What you are doing is a "Mini" Appleseed, and therefore not an official Appleseed.
Covering much of the same material, though not always by an RWVA Instructor.
Mini's usually end up being teasers to show you what Appleseed is all about, and it's a good idea to attend a Mini if you have ANY reservations about going to the real deal.
They're also good to brush up on the basics before coming to a full Appleseed, as when you know some of it, the rest is easier to absorb, and therefore, you will get more out of it. Besides, shooting is always fun.

Hi all,
We're on for this Wednesday the 4th. Who's gonna make it? I'll be set up at 6pm.
I spoke with the club president tonight on the phone. He's real happy about this happening and it will be a club sponsered event going forward. I'll be presenting to the BOD tomorrow night for an offical stamp of approval. This means:
1) No need to be a club member to attend these shoots! Open to the public.
2) We'll collect a small fee ($2) per attendee but will follow the appleseed guidlines (free to under 18 and active service members).
My pack from Fred supposedly shipped on Thursday, so hopefully I'll have it in time for Wednesday and we'll have some redcoats and other targets.
