Marksmanship Rifle Course
 

http://appleseedinfo.org/

This is what I will be attending this saturday. Its basically a marskmanship course. I am pumped. You guys do anything like this?:)

I took a course like that last year and im now on a team ranked 1st overall in the usa. Im personally ranked 4th

It sounds fun, but I simply go out and shoot. I've the advantage of being able to shoot whenever, wherever, as far as I want. But I'm sure you'll have fun and learn some basic skills. Everything stems from the basics, and most shooters can benefit from what experienced individuals can teach.

I've been to two Appleseed Project shoots. One back in June and I was up at the one at Waterman where there were 260 people registered.

I think you'll really enjoy it.

Here's a link to some pictures from the one I went to in June.

Here's some video from the one from last weekend. http://www.youtube.com/afp#p/u/7/pCU8lei7s2g

I'm going to a gun shoot on Sunday. AR's and all that good stuff!

My husband hunted before he entered the Army and then learned the way they do it. He taught me the same, especially shooting from different positions.

We also practice shooting the bow from different positions, especially kneeling.

Link to our Nov 13-14 shoot: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=18554.0

Excellent shoot! Everyone did very well...congrats to two new Riflemen...Gary and Bob. They had both been to multiple Appleseeds, so it's that much sweeter to earn the patch!

Next shoot is a "Winterseed" on Dec. 4th: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=13007.0

BURN OFF SOME OF THAT THANKSGIVING FEAST ON DEC 4TH!

At our LAST shoot of 2010: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=13007.0

It's also our first "Winterseed" shoot in Kansas....even have new patches for the event!

See you on the firing line!

Took that last year. Can not say how much it helped with my shooting.
Bring a camera for those 1/2 inch groups! See if you can find an army sling for accuracy.
(they will know what that is and probably have an extra...mabye.)
Good Luck, hope you make rifle man..I just made sharpshooter.

"Sharpshooter" for your first AS is great! Took me 3 times to qualify Rifleman (Expert)....

You're right...the old army-style web sling, used correctly will help your groups immensely! They are available online, including through the Appleseed store: www.appleseedinfo.org

I hope you're going back again, sounds like with a little work, you can earn that patch. I have some great 10ft dry-fire targets, to use in the house during the winter.....PM me with your email and I'll send you some. Dry-fire will REALLY HELP with the 6 steps to firing the shot, and NPOA. Get your breathing/trigger squeeze rhythm down...make sure you're SQUEEZING the trigger, HOLD IT BACK, reset and prepare for the next shot. Any other AS questions, just ask...I have LOTS of info!
