this was a great weekend, i went to one last april. the instructors are volunteers who do it because they believe in a nation of rifleman. presently, there's not a date scheduled for the 2009 colorado event, but check their schedule site for updates: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=4469.0. you can't beat the value of the instruction - $70 for a full weekend of class is a great bargain.
Since ssf467 posted this, I will not go. He is to be doubted at every turn.

trust, but verify.there were a couple brief AARs from people who attended the CO one this year.

regardless of ssf (re)posting it and anyone's opinion of him, i still think appleseed is a worthwhile and affordable beginner course. you're not going to learn to compensate for bullet drop or windage for long shots, but you'll get the basics of how to take the shot (sight alignment, sight picture, breathing, npoa, follow through, etc).
Regardless of who posted this, it is a legitimate thing.
I have not gone to one, but hear great things about them.
And I hear its a cheap one day class if you need a refresher. And everyone could use some refreshers on the basics. I don't see a current one on the schedule.
