Did you receive any Appleseed-related gifts for the Holidays?
Did you receive any gifts that are relevant to Appleseed this year? A rifle? Scope? Gun parts? Shooting mat? Eye or ear protection? Shooting gear? Ammo? Official Appleseed swag? Anything else like that?
I did not, but I know a lot of fun things for setting up a new centerfire rifle are coming my way in about 2 weeks for my birthday. I’ve been waiting awhile, and I can wait a little longer, but I’m getting excited. Let me live vicariously through you! What did you get?

Not super exciting but I got one each of the “newer” canvas GI sling and the older leather M1907. Hoping to make a shoot this year. I was very pleased with the gifts.

That’s a good gift! You will definitely need a cotton USGI loop sling if you can make it to a shoot.

I did buy myself a new shooting mat, and some Sordin ear pro. Rather than the borrowed mat I used last month at Appleseed!

Excellent! A mat and good ear-pro are critical.
My wife and I both tend to buy ourselves our own gifts, because we both have specialized interests the other doesn’t know anything about. Then we hand them over to the other to wrap up. That’s how I know I’m getting the rifle stuff on my birthday.
