Heard all about Appleseed but unsure if you want to try one?
Can't do a full Appleseed because of time?
Want to practice before that full Appleseed?
Need to test out that new rifle?

If you answered yes to any on these questions then I have the answer for you!

That's next week. [smile]

It's pretty informal. Just let us know in this thread so I know how many targets.
 
You couldn't have picked a better time for me! I had to postpone the Harvard Appleseed, only to have to karma off the Pelham Appleseed because of family commitments.

I'll be there. [smile]
 
Maybe more folks would sign up if it was in the members section and not under training. Just a thought.
Also glad we could host this event..
 
I'll post a thread with a link in the General forum pointing here.

I just added my wife and a coworker of hers that "doesn't like guns". This will be her first exposure to handling a firearm.

What would we need? And will a .22 rimfire do?

It's a basic rifle marksmanship course with US history added in. Actually, it's the other way around[wink]
To learn more about it check out the Appleseed Project here:
http://www.appleseedinfo.org/ After reading that, click on the "RWVA Links" tab to get you to the forum where you'll find a ton of information.

Yes a .22 rimfire is fine. Some rifles are better than others for the courses of fire but Appleseed goes by "Bring what you got".
Basically, you need a desire to learn, rifle w/sling, ammo, eyes/ears and mat.
Oh ya, and a paltry $5.

A "Mini" is a nice way to start. It gives you a chance to see what the Appleseed Project is all about without having to spend a whole weekend for a full Appleseed. It can be intense but this one is 5 hours. You'll learn a lot and have a great time.
I'd be willing to bet that after you do the Mini, you're going to be chomping to do a full Appleseed.

If you have anymore questions, ask away.

Will do!
Becka said:
Will it include the sighting in and whatnot we learned on our first day? That's what my dad really wants to do. This sounds like a great idea for him. I will run it by him today.

Yes. Much of it will be the first day type instruction with sighting in.

I'm one of the folks wanted one on the SS. This is MY CLUB and I have plans for this day that cannot be canceled.[angry][angry][angry][crying]
