Will HSC members be allowed to walk-on?
Anybody can walk on if there's room. I don't suggest it, since more people signing up ahead of time means more instructors we will get to run the thing.

Will HSC members be allowed to walk-on?
I have a truck full of orange hats now.
I thought that you needed a 400yd range to qualify for a Rifleman's patch... and HSC only has a 200yd range. Am I mistaken? I had been planning on waiting for the next one at the Jericho range.

It is done at 25 meters with simulated full distance targets to so you can use rim fire rifles.
So, how do these Appleseed shoot work? what type of skills/equipment does one need to have?
A rifle capable of shooting around 1000 rounds in a weekend (in good working shape).
it is ok for people to come and watch? id love to see this but im not ready equipment/training wise yet
It also needs to be magazine-fed with at least a five-round capacity, yes? (i.e., no single-loaders.)
I have seen guys with bolt 22's smoke guys running 10/22's, I was one of them. Removable magazines make it easier, but not an absolute requirement.
back to my question...can someone just watch?
I currently have a Savage MarkII heavy barrel/ accu triiger and a Marlin model 60. Would these be ok? I'm thinking about picking up a Rem 597 with the Target barrel and thunbhole stock just for the purpose of a Appleseed shoot. Scopes are ok?
Both of them barfed their extractors all over the ground. I've yet to see a 10/22 do that.
As far as the 597... I'd get the 10/22 instead. Why? Because I've seen two 597s on the line at Appleseed Shoots... and neither one made it through the 800-1200 rounds we go through in a weekend. Both of them barfed their extractors all over the ground. I've yet to see a 10/22 do that.
ok, thanks for the advice. Picked up a 10/22 today. Now time for upgrades!
The extractor of my 10/22 is buried in the snow at Monadnock as of about 11am on Saturday unfortunately. Guess I have a reason to upgrade now.
My girlfriend brought her scoped MKII (heavy barrel, no accu-trigger) and shot better than I did. It'll be fine.
