VOICED: The crack of rifle fire

Project Appleseed is a program that combines rifle marksmanship with American Revolutionary War history to educate participants about their heritage. Founded by Jack Daly, it aims to engage Americans in learning about their past through shooting events. The program has attracted nearly 30,000 participants since 2006. While it emphasizes the importance of being prepared, it distances itself from political discussions and militias. The arrival of a pro-gun control president has heightened awareness of the right to bear arms, which is central to the program's philosophy.
