I finally did it, during my second Appleseed I shot a qualifying score with my AR 15 at the Appleseed event at my club. It was only 60 bucks for 2 days of good instruction and a course on American heritage. The course teaches practical accuracy with a rifle and sling, field shooting. It is a great warm up for deer season and lets you find things to work on to be a better shooter, and Citizen. Excellent course. I used a Bushmaster in 5.56 with a cheapo tasco 3x9. It worked, check out that target! Anyhow this is a nationwide program, check out Project Appleseed for info. Good training on the cheap.
