This four day event is intended to showcase New Hampshire and the Free State Project community in a relaxed, social, and fun atmosphere.

Appleseed! 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.
