Lot of folks go to the full distance Atterbury Appleseeds way underprepared or horribly overprepared. I carried so much crap with me on my first trip to Atterbury I could have outfit three guys. Fear not, I am here to help.
Remember this, it is the motto for Atterbury Appleseeds:
Everything you need and nothing you won't use.
If you are thinking about taking one rifle to shoot and one rifle as a back-up, go to your bathroom, shower off the dumb, and bring the rifle that works every time. You don't need two, you need one that works. If you are thinking about bringing a couple different kinds of sights....grab the Head and Shoulders again. You need proper clothing, your rifle, ammo, two mags, something to write with, something to write on, chow and water. Cleaning kit? If you need it, but it better be bare bones and a proven necessity. New boots? Hello sore feet, nice to see you, its been a looong time. Fancy pants you don't want dirty? Save them for the clubs.
Everything you need and nothing you won't use.
Here is a taste of what you will get into.
Your shoot boss is a knowledgeable fellow. He shoots borrowed rifles.
He shoots them pretty well (those are his 500 yard sighters, all three of them on the V-Ring)
Everything you need and nothing you won't use means that a Rifleman owns his 500 yards any time, any where with a rack grade rifle and rack grade ammo. This guy proved it with mixed surplus ammo from three different decades. You can too.
400 yard line. A Rifleman and an M1A and nothing he won't use.
What kind of focus does that 400 yards take?
This kind
Hey! Don't I know you from somewheres? yep, I reckon so. Everything you need and nothing you won't use.
WOLVERINES!!!!
Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."
