MEET ● MINGLE ● MOVE

Register Here!

Whether you're already a Free State Project participant, simply
considering it, or want to have a good time with fellow pro-liberty
activists, PorcFest is the place to be this summer! This four day
event is intended to showcase New Hampshire and the Free State Project
community in a relaxed, social, and fun atmosphere.

Meet, Mingle, Move!

During Porcfest on Thursday and Friday, June 24-25, in nearby Dalton,
NH, the Appleseed Project will be having a two-day rifle marksmanship
clinic. Learn the correct firing positions, the proper use of a sling,
the “Six Steps to Firing the Shot,” Natural Point of Aim (NPOA), the
Rifleman’s Cadence, and how to adjust your sights. Along the way we’ll
teach you little-known secrets of Revolutionary War history and about
our unique heritage as Americans.  Learn how our forefathers risked
everything--their lives, homes, families, wealth, and limbs for us, so
that we would be free. Important Appleseed Event Information is here.
Preregister here (recommended). This year Alicia Lekas will be
Appleseed's Shoot Boss, along with Tony and John Barnes as
Instructors. Be sure to download the "What to Bring" checklist from
www.AppleseedInfo.org.  Long pants and long sleeve shirts are
recommended especially if it is sunny and hot. Contact John Barnes
(NH at AppleseedInfo.org or 888-221-8628) if you need more information.
