    What is Project Appleseed?

    On the surface you would think it would be. In practice, it isn't. It simply gets the women to drag their men off from the nice comfy couch, and get him out shooting, WITH her. For families, it's a way of giving them a break, and when Mom comes to one of our events, before long, the...

    What is Project Appleseed?

    Well, theree's LOTS of misinformation floating around here, mostly from people that have little to no clue of what they're talking about. Yup, all you detractors heard that right. If you haven't been to an Appleseed, how do you know what is taught at one? You don't, and can't know. Let...

    Please explain an "Appleseed" to a non-American

    Well, I can see that I haven't been by for a while. Lots of good info on the program. Also some really misinformed comments by some that haven't been to one of our events. Yes, your bolt guns are welcome. Several of my Northeast area (New England and New York) Instructor crew use bolt...

    Appleseed Shoot

    Appleseed does qualify you for CMP purchases. 25 meters is for everybody. AR's aren't just permissable, they are one of the more receommended rifles, and many of them are used. Scopes are allowed, and if you have aging eyes, probably a smart thing. That pump .22 won't be the best...

    Midway or Brownells?

    Both, plus others. Midway is better for some stuff, but Brownell's is better for tools, and the things Midway doesn't carry. Graf for brass, if Black Hills doesn't carry it, but you've got to be licensed to deal with Black Hills.

    PBS Newshour Looks at the M-16 and its Problems

    The "Media" has been bashing the M16 series rifle based on what happened to the early ones in Vietnam. The bashing happened during Desert Storm, and has been happening since we got involved in Iraq and Afghanistan. They don't want to be confused with the facts. FWIW, I've got 35 years...

    best rifle for worst case scenario?

    Ah, but you don't really NEED that training. Pittsburg? What if I told you there was a program where you could only pay $70 for 2 days of training. And that training, if followed through with self practice, could get you to the point you could hit a 20" wide (human torso) target at 500...

    Which AR-15 upper for 400-500 yard accuracy?

    . mtcur3, for the equipment, try MidwayUSA.com. They will have about everything you are going to need. As to what to load for those AR's, I suggest trying to duplicate M855 ball ammo. That will get the job done, and can be made cheap enough. I would also consider getting a few Ruger...

    Appleseed Shoot with and AK?

    Baron357, what part of New England are you in? We have a Mini-Appleseed program going in Harvard, Mass (contact crak at appleseedinfo.org, or northeastshooters.com), and a weekly program going in Proctor, VT (where we just held the Aplleseed this weekend), (contact GMB74 at appleseedinfo.org...

    Let's discuss the marksman rifle doctrine.

    Quote Rero360: Nope, they don't sponsor the program, other than allowing us to use some of the facilities on some states. We can't use our issued M16A2's for the program, we have to use personal rifles. I just happen to be an RWVA Instructor, and an Army Guardsman, the only one with that...

    Let's discuss the marksman rifle doctrine.

    Wow, lots of stuff to discuss here. First off, let me tell you folks, it is the shooter, not the equipment that gets the job done. Carlos Hathcock, and others, could consistently hit a man sized target at 800 meters. With a tweaked M1 Garand or M14 at 1000 yards, with iron sights, no less...

    who is Appleseed?

    Davo, why don't you just simply attend an Appleseed in an adjacent state? That's what some of us have to do, and is what I'm doing. Then, you can hold Mini-Appleseed day shoots, getting folks interested in your area. There were very valid reasons for cancelling the Saugus event, and there...

    who is Appleseed?

    Best training you will find for the money. RWVA is a good bunch of people, well worth the visit over at the RWVA Forum. Folks under 20, as well as current members of the Armed Services attend for FREE. Now, just how many places will teach your teenagers for no cost to you?

    Laid down the law on my anti-gun girlfriend...success!

    Well, I've BTDT and recently. I'm getting divorced and was married 30 years. She wasn't anti-gun, but didn't like CCW or loaded guns in the house. She actually owned 2 handguns herself, a Glock 19 and a cheapie 22 pistol. She helped my father and I work gun shows even. But, she was kind of...

    Are shotgunners arrogant??

    Saw this thread and just had to join in order to reply. I've shot several disciplines both for fun and competition. Are shotgunners arrogant? Yup, some are real snobs. They're snobs with or without the shotgun. I love seeing them put in their place. That being said, some of the BEST...
