Sitting / Kneeling cuervo, Appleseeds has eliminated any loaded transitions, but we still do the trans from standing to sitting and standing to prone - we just have all shooters leave mags on the mat. In the early days, wwe got mostly "hairy-legged men", but now we get soccer moms and kids...

Sotomayor I watched her some this AM - she was very careful and appeared to be saying what she assumed everyone wants to hear. I were not convinced. I judge a woman the very same way I judge a man - strictly by their deeds. Her deeds tell me that she would decide the law, rather than apply...

Double Edges Sword I love and hate the ACLU, most often the latter - just saw this today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeuBB_mOFIA

jd, Glad it worked out. Dads can be great. Lost mine a few years back and miss him often. Firearms were our #1 thing in common (had many others as well). In our family - it was me that were the "smith", but he was a great shot with a rifle. I could always beat him with pistol, but not...

jd, If you b the "handy" type - work on cleaning it yourself, but if not - take it to a recommended smith. The problem you are describing could be potentially dangerous. I would say a serious chamber and bolt head cleaning are in order. Let it soak in Hoppes #9. Keep replacing the solution...

survival gun If you are talking pure survival - a man against the elements - I like the little AR7 (Originally an Armalite design, made by several makers inc, Henry). It is compact and light. It floats. It's fairly accurate and very simple. Did I mention that it was designed specifically as...

"Appleseeds is fallacious" Rosstradamus, I must presume that you do not know Fred personally and have not been to an Appleseeds event. I can certainly understand how you feel, from reading his writings of years past and that of Kenneth Royce (AKA Boston Tea Party). Like myself, there was a...

Lost permit app Certified mail / return receipt requested - the only way to send anything to a government entity. Costs a bit over $4 and worth every penny. Just sayin,

25M vs. long range XD, No arguments there sir - shooting at full distance intros myriad additional challenges. Worse yet, accuracy and even doping the wind is the "easy" part. As you no doubt are aware - target detection and range estimation are much harder. However learning at 25M is fast...

Cook vs. Rifleman slzy, The "cook" vs. "Rifleman" analogy were created long ago by Fred, the founder of Appleseeds. He used it simply as a metaphor to describe thems that can shoot and thems that cannot. So no, they are not mutually exclusive in reality - only in metaphor. The AQT lists...

25M target alemonkey, That's easy enough. Take an 8x11" standard piece of paper and draw some 1" squares on it. 1" at 25M is 4 minute of angle and is the same, in terms of raw trajectory as 4" at 100 yards, or more importantly, 20" at 500 yards (for all you seekers of math perfection - no...

Glades To All: I just received a reply from the shoot boss of the last event at the "Glades". He says it is the Glades County Sheriff's range and that sounds more familiar to me. The link below alludes to the location...

Glades To All: I am attempting to gather info on location. I looked up the "Trail Glades", but it seems larger than the venue we call Glades - I may be wrong (been known to occur). I have sent an Email to "LadyGunner" who, with her husband "Gunny" ramrodded a previous event at that venue...

Florida Appleseeds sarduy, Funny you should mention. There is a little place called the Glades not so far from Miami and they want to have events, but have trouble getting enough of their fellow Americans "off the couch" to help spread the word. See - we're all volunteer here and saving a...

Bringing a new meaning to "Sunshine Patriots"! Learn to shoot like your ancestors on the famous "AQT" target! We are opening up a new venue in St. Augustine - details to follow soon. We are working on additional dates in Pensacola as well. Here's the remaining dates already on the schedule...

One issue that I see a lot at Appleseeds events is that when shooting at close distance - you are setting sights to result in bullet impact a specific distance above front post - say 1/2". That being the case - you must always be aware of that differential and hold over or under, as the size...

Huh? At the end of each event, I always council all in attendance to avail themselves of the system of government that was handed to us by our ancestors. I ask them to write their reps and suggest that post cards are best. I suggest that they "annoy" them with alarming regularity, as I do...

Appleseeds I brought a buddy that shoots NRA HP competitions and he had a blast. Yes, he made Rifleman, but it weren't as easy as he thought it would be. He told me that even he learnt much in two days (he only planned to attend one day, but decided to stay for Sunday). Anyone that...

Grab yer gear and git ready to celebrate Liberty! Applseeds is coming to the Manatee area on November 1st ans 2nd for another great event at the Manatee Gun and Archery Club. This will be our Third event at this great range and we'd love to see you come out and lend Lady Liberty a hand by...

Appleseeds Tigre, Consider yourself most welcome here - "A" too! You were both a pleasure to work with as you both brought the most important item with you - a teachable attitude. You were both focused and displayed much grit - my red hat is off to you both. I will be serving at the...
