[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2055181, member: 4235"] Howdy shooters, I just thought I would give you a heads-up that Oklahoma's first Appleseed of 2013 will be at Excalibur Sporting Goods in Afton, OK on Feb. 9-10. The IT folks who run our website are struggling to process the large number of events nation-wide that are being scheduled for 2013, so it is not yet posted on the website or open for registration. I will post an update with the links to the registration page when it is posted. The charge will be $80 for the weekend, or $50 for one day. There are discounts for certain groups to whom we believe it is especially important to promote our heritage of gun ownership, marksmanship, and liberty. This includes women, under 21, current military, law enforcement, and elected officials. Due to recent events I have also made the decision to allow employees of educational institutions to attend for free. To take advantage of this offer, select the military/law enforcement discount when registering for an event. For those who don't know, Appleseed is a training program that teaches the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship from field positions. The curriculum is based around the 25m Army Qualification course of fire from the days of the M1 and M-14. Any safe rifle will work, and if you bring it we will help you become a better shot with it. However, there are parts of the course of fire with significant time pressure, and is geared toward rifles that feed from magazines or clips. We also have a procedure that will allow tube feed rifles to keep up. Rimfire rifles are fine. Using the sling as a marksmanship aid is heavily emphasized. We strongly encourage you to have an adjustable 2-point sling installed on your rifle; preferably a GI web sling or M1907 leather sling. The program has a strong emphasis on the fundamentals of marksmanship, and is great for beginners, self-taught shooters, and experts alike. Anyone who shoots Expert on the AQT will be awarded our Rifleman patch. We have a special "winterseed" Rifleman patch if the score is shot during harsh winter conditions... a definite possibility for early February in Oklahoma! Appleseed is also about promoting American heritage. We tell the amazing true story of the first day of the Revolutionary War, and the events leading up to it. This is some amazing true history that you have probably never heard if you haven't been to an Appleseed before... it is certainly not taught in schools. Join us for a great weekend on the range, and be a part of Appleseed's mission of returning this country to a nation of Riflemen! henschman P.S., as the event is not currently posted on the Appleseed website, I will post the Event Info here: [/QUOTE]
