[QUOTE="Lomshek, post: 3084216, member: 9239"] How good are you? A Rifleman can put 5 rounds into a postage stamp at 25 yards prone unsupported. No bag, no bipod, no bench. This is the size a target at 500 yards would appear. That’s what we’ll teach you. [URL='https://appleseedinfo.org/schedule/?qstate=KS&state=Kansas']Sign up online[/URL] before they sell out! Oct 13-14 at Air Capital Gun Club near Wichita, KS. [U].22LR only at ACGC (no centerfire)![/U] Here's a [URL='https://goo.gl/maps/BeUSKi1rm592']map to the range[/URL]. [IMG]https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/84345/Jon_AK-455507.JPG[/IMG] [B]Notice -[/B] [I]Smith & Wesson 15/22 .22LR rifles have been temporarily banned from Appleseed while S&W and Appleseed work to determine the cause of malfunctioning rifles that have created safety concerns. That may or may not change before this event. All .22LR conversions and non-S&W .22LR dedicated uppers are allowed. Email me at [EMAIL]roger@tailwindcyclists.com[/EMAIL] for the latest status. [/I] If you’ve wanted to learn the finer points of putting accurate rounds on target this is for you. We’ll spend two days learning how to shoot the rifle from standing, seated, kneeling and prone with just a sling to help steady the rifle. No bipods, bags or benches (although we do make any allowances needed for a person's physical limitations). [IMG]https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/84345/Seated_firing_line-455510.JPG[/IMG] We’ll do our shooting at 25 yards using reduced size targets to simulate distances of up to 500 yards. There’s no point walking back and forth to far away targets or worrying about wind and drop until you can actually put rounds on a simulated size target.
