Hello, fellow shooting enthusiasts,
Are you passionate about firearms and our nation's history? Project Appleseed might have the perfect opportunity for you! We're on the lookout for dedicated individuals to join our team of volunteer instructors, and we believe that the rewards of this role are truly unparalleled.
Becoming a Project Appleseed instructor is no walk in the park, but the journey is incredibly fulfilling. It's not just about teaching shooting skills; it's about connecting students with the rich history that shaped our country and preserving the ideals we hold dear. If you're up for the challenge, here's how you can become an instructor:
1. Attend at least two Appleseed events.
2. Achieve a score of 210 or better on the Appleseed Qualification Test (AQT) from multiple positions.
Our instructors play a crucial role in making Project Appleseed the success it is. The training and hands-on experience they provide create an unparalleled learning environment. But to earn the revered "Red Hat" of a full instructor, there are additional steps:
Instructor Training Requirements:
- Pass a series of five written, oral, and hands-on tests.
- Master the RWVA Instructor Manual and other training materials.
- Understudy other instructors at a minimum of five Appleseeds.
- Perform selected teaching duties under the supervision of a full instructor, including recounting the three-part history of the events of April 19, 1775.
- Master Appleseed’s safety protocols, ensuring the smooth running of a safe line.
- Demonstrate precise knowledge of Appleseed’s instructional method, covering proper positions, steady hold factors, natural point of aim, rifleman’s cadence, and the six steps of firing a shot.
Joining the ranks of Project Appleseed instructors means making a lasting impact on individuals and our communities. Our instructors are the backbone of our organization, and their dedication is what sets us apart.
If you're passionate about our mission but not quite ready to take on the full instructor role, consider joining Applecore.
As an Applecore member, you can assist with staff functions both at and away from shoots. This is a fantastic way to be involved without the added responsibility of working the line
