      Rifle 223 - CARBINE!!! - Feb. 23/24, 2019 - Bedford, IN

      Well I'm certainly very sorry that I had to bail out on Sunday. I woke up that morning feeling ill to the point I flat out did not trust myself to pick up a rifle. Enjoyed Saturday though, definitely a valuable experience to get the rifle muddy shooting through the holes in those barricades...

      July 2015 Appleseed information

      Wow I didn't even get a phone call asking me to come back. I feel so neglected...or insulted...or relieved...or something. Can't make either of these shoots but as the former range rep for MCFG I will happily answer any questions about that role. Enjoy the shoots everyone! (Will ATM still...

      Sophie's Choice

      Unless you have a real need for the takedown feature, I'd go with the American.

      This is what people must think happens when you buy a gun

      I wish it was that easy to get a suppressor

      Problem with my AR trigger when shooting it for the first time

      I had this problem when I first built my AR. If I remember correctly, a light sanding or polishing right on the back of the hammer fixed things nicely.

      Cloverdale - IN - 10-25/26 ... anyone?

      How heavy and what kind of jacket were you wearing? The bulky winter jackets can interfere with properly positioning the rifle in prone and that could be what was causing it to slide down.

      Northern/NE Indiana Appleseeds?

      Bring the most beat up, low speed/high drag one you got. No need for heavy bull barrels or hair triggers at Appleseed.

      Camp Atterbury, IN Appleseed Known Distance October 18-19, 2014

      Judicious use of zip ties will solve that problem real quick.

      Northern/NE Indiana Appleseeds?

      I'm sorry to do this to everyone, but the Nappanee shoot that we just got on the schedule has been postponed. The club president asked us to re-schedule it due to a conflict with another event at the range. We are currently working on a new date, it will probably be some time in November. As...

      Pistolseed?

      I can say with certainty that a Pistolseed won't happen in Indiana this year. There's a long ways to go to develop the concept. When the program is deemed ready for rollout on a national scale we will take a good hard look at it and determine whether we'll have one here in the future.

      Any Ah ha! moments?

      My biggest "ah ha" was seeing just how tall hickok45 is. Other moments: realizing how badly I want a Sig P226 after seeing how well it fits my hand. Finding a good option for a holster to use while jogging (now I just need a gun to go with it). Helping a friend select her first pistol (she...

      Marion County Fish and Game One Day Shoot

      The note on the information page was put on there by the national admin folks based on what's been on there in years past. I've yet to see anyone show up to an Appleseed at MCFG with a pistol caliber rifle so I didn't say anything. Having said that, if someone wants to attend with one, then if...
