A couple of years ago, I was reading an unrelated topic online when I came across Project Appleseed. Fast forward to last month when I took my oath as an American, my first few acts as a citizen were to register to vote, apply for a passport... and buy a Ruger 10/22.

I’m now registered for an Appleseed next month. This forum looked like a good source of info so I joined.

Nice! Most Americans have at least a dozen 10/22s (at least here lol) but it's a good start. @nortatoga is in your neck of the woods and is the Appleseed guy. Welcome to forum.

Welcome!

You have made a lot of good choice's! The big one is becoming a U.S. citizen!!!!!

Then buying a 10/22! ( I have 3 of them!) And then going to an Appleseed is a very good idea.

Thank you for the welcome! Next step step is to find a good local range, wish me luck.

Now as far as a Club my Club will be opening membership in the fall SaraSpa Rod and Gun Club - Home We are located about 6 miles north of Saratoga Springs if that would work for you? Til then there are events on the Calendar that are open to non-members ( Our Friday night fun shoots from 5 to 8 for 22lr's shooting some steel and a BBQ every other week. next one is this Fri 7/5 ) We were also one of the first Clubs to host a Appleseed shoot going back about 10 years now. We are looking to have one in Oct. but it is not posted yet.

Again Welcome!!

It's an hour away from me, but it wouldn't be a problem. The only thing is I work the 2nd shift and I don't get off until late at night (thus my posting this at midnight).

Thank you, nonetheless..I will treat this as an invite and will find a Friday off after the Appleseed next month.

The up coming dates for the Fun Shoots are 7/5, 7/19, 8/2 and 8/16 cost is $5.00 includes BBQ.

Then on 8/24 at 1:00 pm we are having a CMP Rimfire Sporter Practice Match which you could put to use what you learned at the Appleseed. That cost I believe is $8.00 for a non-member, covers the cost of the targets.

First, welcome aboard

Second, congrats on becoming a lawful American citizen. That's a huge accomplishment. I'm glad to see you are now enjoying the full benefits of living in the most free country in the history of the world. Never forget the power and freedom we have as citizens. Tell your children and grandchildren as well. It's on all of us to safeguard our freedoms.


Congrats and welcome.

Thank you and thank you. I treated living here as a privilege and acted as a guest. I'm still starting to grasp how to act as a responsible American in MY country.

It's still surreal to say it (even just typing it), MY country.

Welcome and congrats on your citizenship!
