Howdy shooters,
Join us for a weekend of training in the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship from field positions, and see how you stack up on the Army Qualification Test. Those who prove themselves worthy by shooting Expert will be honored with our Rifleman patch. There is no better way to spend a weekend and approximately 400 rounds. We will be teaching all the skills necessary to control the "Rifleman's Quarter Mile" -- that means being able to hit a man-sized target out to 500 yards. All shooting will be done at 25m at this event, on reduced-size targets, though full distance shooting techniques will be taught as always. This course is great for shooters of all ages and all skill levels. Be forewarned though... we use an older (harder) version of the AQT from the days of the M1 and M-14, and getting that Expert score ain't easy! Even if you are already a skilled shooter, you will benefit from the coaching of fellow skilled shooters. Rifles feeding from detachable magazines or stripper clips are the best suited for our course of fire; but bring any safe rifle, and we will help make you more effective with it.
Appleseed is a nationwide all-volunteer organization, and accordingly we are able to keep our fees low... only $70 for the weekend, or $40 for one day if you pre-register. Walk-ons are welcome, but prices go up by $10. Free or highly reduced rates are available for certain individuals. See our registration page for details.
Also, Appleseed is affiliated with the Civilian Marksmanship Program -- attending one of our marksmanship clinics and joining our parent organization, the RWVA ($20/year), along with proof of U.S. citizenship, qualifies you to buy surplus M1 Garands and other rifles from the CMP for about half of market prices!

See you on the firing line!
