Appleseed Event

[bloodandgutsmurphy]

My brother and I were thinking about participating in an Appleseed Event in North Carolina during the summer. We are decent at shooting, but nowhere as good as we would like to be. We were just wondering does an Appleseed event just teach the four rules and basic marksmanship skills or is it actually worth the time and money to go through the event. My other question is does anyone in Indiana offer a course similar to an Appleseed Event. Thanks

There are Appleseeds all over the state. It is the best training and history lesson you can get. I have participated in shooting courses that cost 10 times as much that did not teach as much.

It is absolutely worth it to go to an event. We have events all over Indiana as well as the rest of the country. We teach fundamentals of rifle marksmanship, prone, standing, and seated/kneeling positions, use of a sling, and much more. We also teach the history of April 19, 1775, the day the Revolutionary War started. Come join us sometime soon, you won't be disappointed.

Side note: we don't teach the "standard" four rules of safety, we do have our own four rules for our events that are similar but have a couple differences.

You don't realize how much better you can be till you go and learn.

Seriously. Go. Listen. Learn. Practice. Get your patch.

Best rifle training out there. And if you shoot a .22, the most affordable. My father in law, two brother in laws and I did one for fathers day and LOVED it. I shot it with my AR and .22 and could not have been happier. I can't wait to get out and do another one.

Do it. DO IT. You will not find a better class for the money. It's $75 for TWO DAYS of training and history! DO IT RIGHT NOW!


Also, Indiana is one of the most active Appleseed states. If you can't find one near you, then you're not looking hard enough.

Here is a link to the appleseeds already scheduled in Indiana for 2013:

Check it often as they are always being added.

It is worth it the time, the money and the effort.

No question - it's worth several times what they charge. You will come away a much better shot.

Is anyone on here going to Ossian in February? Me and a buddy are thinking of going if the weather looks halfway ok.

Every Appleseed everywhere is pretty much the same. The consistency and professionalism is beyond pale. IN has several instructors with great reputations.

But, for the Holy Grail of an Appleseed experience go to an Appleseed in Ramseur, NC. Even better go to a Rifleman Boot Camp there. You will never forget that vacation.

I was thinking about going to the Ossian one in February but I thought I had another box of 22lr ammo. I only have about 200 rounds right now so I'm going to try to go if I can find another brick without paying an arm and a leg.

One thing I would suggest is that you take everything they reccomend on their list of "items to bring". ESPECIALLY the staple gun and something for your elbows. if you don't have a shooting jacket or elbow pads, take two soft hand towels. Your elbows will not thank you enough.
