Help Spread the Word - Appleseed Project

This program looks excellent and appears to be run by some very nice and down to earth people. The goal is to teach people how to shoot properly and proficiently at distances up to 500 yards. It is a rifleman orientated program so it focuses on combat accuracy and marksmanship skills not solely long range accuracy work.

The program lasts anywhere from 2- to 7-days.

It is a $200 fee for adult males and FREE for those under 21 and women for the 7-day Bootcamp, and $45 and $70 for 1- and 2-day appleseed shooting events for adult males; and again FREE for those under 21 and women.

A semi-auto .22 rifle (and 1.5k rounds of ammo) is recommended for the majority of this course, and a centerfire rifle (and 200 rounds of ammo) us recommended for the long range aspect. Rifles of any type are welcomed, but preferred is semi-auto (almost necessary) with detachable magazine. Some popular guns used: SKS, M16, AR15, M1A, FAL, and others.

You of course cover cost of lodging/food/drinks, but camping out on the range is encouraged; campfires are allowed on most ranges. There is a No-Alcohol Policy which is strictly enforced for everyone's safety.

I'm not affiliated with this organization in anyway, but I heard about this and thought it was an excellent opportunity, especially for young/female shooters.

I hope to attend the August 24-31 7-day Bootcamp in Ramseur, NC.
