Don't know about the schedule this year (moving, opening a gun shop, getting re-married... all take their toll on time. But next year we hope to be back at Jericho VT at the Ethan Allen Firing Range again.Where is the nearest Appleseed held which goes out to an actual 600 yards?
There's been a lot of discussion about this point. Some of us do want to see a "Appleseed 2.0" weekend.I would like to see a "post-graduate" appleseed with it's main focus on the AR platform.
I know four guys who earned one before they existed. https://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=5688.msg53419#msg53419Does anyone have a Winterseed patch?
Some clubs (e.g. Leyden) have the facilities to shoot at 1-200 yards, where a .22 will teach you a lot about drop and wind, and the Leyden shoots always include shooting KD for anyone who's grouping acceptably (<8 MOA) at 25M. Harvard's longer-ranges are restricted to qualified club members.
Leyden is a great place to go for an AS - for starters, you can try to see if you'd get into Morgan's Rifles - hit an 8" target (pumpkins in season, IIRC) with your FIRST shot at 250 yards. I know that it CAN be done with a Lee-Enfield.
If there are a bunch of people interested, let me know and I'll see if I can put something together. There are enough AS instructors around who know their way around ARs, and there's probably enough material to adapt into a practical 1-Day.
Let Alix & I know - Nickle, too - we'd be interested in helping out.
