Appleseed type shoots

[Sprocket]

I see the first event is scheduled for April - I'm looking for something a bit sooner than that to practice and learn. My plans for the winter include tuning up my 10/22 in prep for a shoot.

Are there any informal shoots planned before April?

You don't say where, but since Crak and I both belong to Harvard Sportsman's Assoc in Harvard, MA, it's very likely that we'll run some "Mini" Appleseed shoots. Problem with that is that you're going to be doing a lot of prone shooting... on a concrete pad in a New England winter.

But if you're up for it, we can try to work something out. Stay tuned.

The dwarf beat me to it !

 

[Sprocket]

I hunt ducks - does that give you an idea of what the conditions in which I'm used to shooting?

I'll keep an eye out - thanks Gents

Screw concrete pad. Crak and I were talking the other day about shooting in the snow.

Little bit of fleece and Goretex, and you don't even know there's snow.

Y'all are NUTS. I'll be standing up; YOU can lie in the snow.

Don't dwarfs come with antiquate padding and insulation?

I'm a skier, I've spent some time laying on the snow.

I'd be in for this. I was talking with some of the Vermont guys on the Appleseed forum at the shoots up there and they say they shoot their best groups in the snow.

Like this?

I love shooting in foul weather. I shot my best AQT to date at full distance in the pouring rain at Jericho this year.

Can't say the same about Shortey, though...

If you can hit the 300yd and 400yd targets standing up, more power to you.

Andy: That looks like fun.

I think the biathlon would be much more fun if it was downhill skiing and subguns.

Like a Bond flick!

I envision a cross between snowboarding supercross and IDPA!

This sounds like a freakin good time; and i'd love to get some practice in before the next Appleseeds. I'll be keeping an eye out for some "mini"-type events.

That's funny, right there!

 

[Nickle]

Hey, my Guard unit CO is having us shoot our M4's in January. Emphasis is going to be on sitting, standing and "crouching".

Considering the range is in Jericho (don't see all of how he's going to do it), there'll be plenty of snow.

 

[dwarven1]

Won't be trying; I'll be the guy in the red hat running the line - teaching you guys how to hit those targets while lying in the snow!

 

[Chris]

So long as it is cold enough not to be melting, snow is fine. It's the snow turning to slush that isn't much fun. (^_^)

Besides, if you keep us shooting enough, that nice warm gun will be great.

Sign me up.

I would be in for a mini-Appleseed this winter....
I've been practicing since Winchendon and am determined to make rifleman my next time out.

What are the differences between a MINI Appleseed and a regular one? If a mini is a one day event I would be interested in a winter session.

Yup. Mini's are pratice for the real thing. I don't know if shooting a Rifleman score at a mini would qualify you for a patch, Dwarven1 would know.

Hopefully I'll be a NH resident in a few weeks but I could set up either a Mini or a full two day Appleseed out at Woodsman R&P in Athol.

We've allways got lots of snow there in winter !

 

[HangEmHigh]

Ive been shooting Appleseed-style at Harvard indoors. Its usually empty in the evenings. Its only 50' but a little math can calculate group sizes needed for 4moa. Would be nice to have some company. Let me know if anyone is interested some night next week.

 

[crak]

You qualify for a patch if you're shooting in your backyard with bunny slippers on as long as you can show us the target.

Twigg: Can you get us a non-Valentine February date for a full weekend at Athol?

 

[06LemansC6]

I'd be interested in something like this......What are the thoughts about newbies trying this out? I don't know my way around a rifle all that well. I just picked up a AR-15 last week. I wasn't even sure I'd ever fire it, but figured I get it while the gettin is good.

 

[CooperS7777]

Id definatly be interested in an event like this as well. Hopefully I can have my 10/22 put together before the next close one!

Newbies most welcome ! Centerfire at Woodsman is not an issue, BUT expect a round count of 500 to 700 rounds for a two day shoot. (Yeah, seriously.)

Consider it done. Bunny slippers optional.

Going through 500-700 rounds doesn't bother me. Well the cost could be better, but if you want to play......

My concern is that I have one of the new evil AR that can not be brought into MA. So I'm limited to areas I can shoot.

 

[Jedhed]

I'd be very interested in a winter mini-apple. I'm a noob, I was planning on starting to get involved with some of these shoots in 2009 and would love to get a head start.

Got my 10/22, next I'm picking up the TSR200 sights and sling for it. A couple extra mags. Anything else I should consider?

What if they are kitten slippers?
