Planning for my first Appleseed.
Current rifle is a Ruger 10/22 with a 3x9x40 scope. I was planning on removing the scope and setting up an LTR, but 90% of the folks I see holding a Rifleman patch are also holding a scoped rifle.
What gives? I'd rather use irons. Is the AQT *that* difficult?
It really doesn't matter what you use. Most people have optics set up on their rifles already, so they just come with what they have. If you desire to take the scope off, that is fine. The true purpose of the training is to teach people how to use what they have. That is why the classes teach zeroing techniques and point of aim for iron sights and various types of optics.
A rifleman can shoot the AQT with or without scopes. The training you will learn will enable you to grasp the skills to shoot any rifle, with or without optics. If a shooter cannot exercise trigger control or adjust his body for natural point of aim, without a scope, most likely he can't do it with a scope. Bottom line, it's not the scope that makes the rifleman, it's the techniques he puts into action when behind the trigger.

Scope or irons - makes no difference.
This seems to be the official Appleseed motto.
I would think a scope would offer a distinct advantage. I'm a shotgunner - not a rifleman, so I'll take your word on it.
Looking at May for the MCFG shoot.

all this is IMO of coarse
Appleseed is something that I would really like to try. The only .22 I have left is a bolt action with a scope. It does have a sling. Thoughts about my bringing my squirrel gun. I do have a conversion kit for the AR-15 but that is probably not accurate enough.
