To clarify, is this just from BA's few complaints about Appleseed, or are there other comments that triggered this? I'm a piss-poor rifle shooter, but his complaints don't sound totally specious to me. There's a big difference between pointing out areas of disagreement and claiming to be a high-speed-low-drag operator in a goofy way; is this due to the former or the latter?
so, where do these Appleseeds take place??
I'm an average shot at best, but I'd like to go shoot this Appleseed (if it happens.) Maybe I'll bring my 10 year old daughter - she'd give BA a run for his money.
He made some comments denigrating an Appleseed Instructor's CORRECT shooting technique, which made him look like a fool.To clarify, is this just from BA's few complaints about Appleseed, or are there other comments that triggered this?

I will mention, however, that you shoot for free. Ladies, active duty military, anyone under 21, elected officials and Rev War reenactors (if they come in period garb!) all shoot for free.
Tentative pending BOD approval:
Appleseed event September 18 and 19 at Mansfield Fish and Game..... (It is a coincidence that this is in Bostonasphalt's neighborhood)
Details to follow after the June 30 Doard of Directors meeting if approved.
Like I stated earlier, I'm waiting to hear the excuses.
This thread is full of win. The challenge itself is worth the price of admission, however the other members stepping up and giving money to GOAL or other generous offers really shows how great of a group we having going here.
I need to buy a rifle and start practicing already ... Wish they weren't so damn expensive (the nice ones)
Guard and Reserves as well, correct?
10/22 is what? $130 bucks? bang away all day with lunch money, and go get your Rifleman patch.
He already looks silly after his little tirade. If he doesn't show, Derek should change his username to bostonasshat.
Hmmm.... what if we make this a match between BA and Abby Oakley, our resident young lady sharp shooter?
BA... every been beaten by a girl???
He claims to live within walking distance of MF&G.
He bitched about money to attend an NES Shoot at MF&G. Fred offered to pay his range fee, loan him a rifle and give him the ammo. BA was still a "no show" with excuses. It's just his style . . . Tom Rush (folk singer from 1960s) has a Mid-West term for it "All hat, no cattle!" . . . fits here perfectly.
Well, expect to hear either crickets or a number of lame excuses.

I quite frankly don't care what you think. Look at the other pictures of him shooti

Somehow I don't see him attending.
worst case?.... loses a bit of worthless "internet cred".
Motion seconded !
Abby'd kick his ass with a pink Hello Kitty 10/22 ! My money's on the little girl.
So this isn't the first time he's been called out on this ?
<--- My shocked face.
Well he's found the thread;

There is no reason he shouldn't. From his perspective, worst case? He's a bad rifle shot and loses a bit of worthless
"internet cred". GOAL gets paid, and he probably gains some respect for at least showing up.
