Any one shot Appleseed before?

[Andrew68]

Has any one done an Appleseed shoot before? What can I expect, I am a good shot already but I would like to learn to use a sling and I think the history lesson sounds pretty cool. Any comments?

How about a whole INGO subforum full of comments :

Appleseed - INGunOwners


Appleseed rocks.

Follow the link provided by ATM.

AAR's for Appleseed shoots across the nation can be found here.

These are links to two of the one's I've attended:

North Porter County Conservation Club

Camp Atterbury

**Preparation is important!

Go to Appleseed, it is BETTER than joining the Marines, to learn how to use the sling .....

Well worth it. You'll be a BETTER shot afterwards.

on top of learning some great skills, you will hear some great history too. my wife had never shot a rifle before and by the end of the second day was banging steel at 100 no problem with a 22 wearing iron sights

I'm hoping to host one at my local club this summer. A friend went to one for "fun" of it. He came away saying it was the best rifle training he had ever had. He has hunted and shot for years as well as been involved in some other rifle training as a professional.

Thanks for all of the great info. I am really looking forward to it. I want to include my 13 year old son who is a Boy Scout and is just now old enought to start the shooting merit badges. I thought it might be fun for the two of us

One more question I just thought of: is it only for open sights? Can you use a scope or a red dot?

You can use anything.

The instruction is outstanding and the people are great. The history is bit revisionist but not too bad. Highly recommended.

Serious request - no purple text: please elaborate.

No, the history is what really happened, not the revisionist version typically taught.

Apologies for my lack of specificity; ^^ this ^^ is what I was getting at.
