I will read up on what the Appleseed is about. My creedmoor is a bit on the heavy to be shooting standing up off the shoulder for very much. I didn't get it to stalk Bambi or Wilbur. On my little sandbag it's comfortable at bench of course. Haven't looked at bipods. Basic longer x-bolt, nothing fancy there. Never heard of that Appleseed. Fouled Bore reminds me a bit of the Badlands Tactical I read about. I definitely would value the class time and fundamentals.
Appreciate the information.

This is what Appleseed teaches. These groups were fired prone with a sling at 685 yards. No bipod or bags. Just me laying on the ground.

The Appleseed program is very welcoming to newer shooters but the skills we teach allow a very high level of shooting if the shooter can apply them properly. That normally takes more than one or two Appleseeds for everything to sink in.

I agree that you wouldn't want to bring a Creedmoor to a 25 yard Appleseed. Shoot one or two with a lighter rifle (10/22 or AR) then break out a Creedmoor for a full distance Appleseed once you're ready.

Sounds like what we went through in Marine boot camp. One solid week of snapping-in learning the fundamentals and different shooting (body) positions then a week of shooting (200-500m) on the range with a sling only.
