Appleseed Project Shoot

[NYDeer]

Anyone participate in one?

If you never heard of it, it's a rifleman training & shooting session to teach skills of the Rifleman the revolutionary war soldiers had-- the ability to place 3 'head shots' at 250 yards.. http://www.appleseedinfo.org/

I'm trying to go to one, provided I get off from work, and my butt to the range to get ready..

This was an awesome weekend, better than what I had expected.

You will learn 3 std shooting positions, rapid loading/mag prep, proper use of the sling, and why manksmanship IS a truly American thing, especially for the 1770's. They weave the Amercian revolution events & explain them as the early americans understood what was happening at the time..

If you go, bring sunblock, and lots of ammo.. All the sand at the range charbroiled by left eartop not hugging the stock to the point of scabbing over 3 days later. Ammo, I shot off 450 7.62X39 from my modded SKS, then a few hundred .22 from an instructors 1022  loaner rifle. Some shooters went though 800 rounds over 2 days.. All Riflemen made that day used scoped .22 semi autos. I didnt make the Rifleman grade, but fuzzy animals, watch out under 200 yards..
