• Want to learn to pick up a rack grade rifle, shoot surplus ammo, from field positions (no bench, you cheaters ) and hit a man-sized target reliably at 500 yards with iron sights?
  
• Want to be in a friendly atmosphere with no one screaming in your ear?
  
• Want to do it at a location near you without travelling half-way across the country?
  
• Want to do it with a M1A? Garand? FAL? AR? 22LR?
  
• Want to have kids and military get in free?
  
• Want to do it for around $35 per day (and get a free T-Shirt)?

You need to go to an Appleseed...

Appleseed is coming to Illinois again! The first event in Bloomington was well attended and successful (see my review at http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=280890&highlight=appleseed) so RWVA is sponsoring a second event on August 18-19 at the Buffalo Range Shooting Park in Ottawa, IL.

Nice pictures,

The Appleseed shoots are great fun and a wealth of information and helpful shooting instruction.

Best instructional money you will ever spend.

 

[Samuraigg]

Holy crap that's my range!

Dang, I can't make it to this though.

 

[funfaler]

Your Yugo and Sagia really want to go!!

Perhaps there is still time to arrange your schedule, you will not be disappointed

 

[MarshallDodge]

I wanna go! When I lived in Glen Ellyn we used to pack up a trunk load of guns and go to Buffalo Creek.

Oh well, you guys have a good time!

 

[Rotor]

This ones the charm.

Marshal, get your be-hind there! I like the sounds of "a trunk load of guns".

If you (or anyone else) can only make it one day, come Saturday. That is when all the Instruction is given. Sunday is application day!

Rumor has it that Fred will be coming out of NC for his second Illinois trip this year (yes, he is in one of the pics posted).

I would like to see this one as successful as Bloomington (or more), esspecially since it is so near the kingdom of dailey.

See you there!

PS Appleseed is nation wide. I have taught in KY, CT, NY, GA, IN (2), WI, MT, ID, and IL. Don't see your state? Could be one anyway, and if not, get your rear in gear and host one. Ranges or private property (prefered).

Looks like I will make this one, at least Saterday. Is anyone heading up from Peoria? Maybe we can meet up at some point.

[iamkris]

I'll be there on Sunday only...see you guys there.

I'll be there on Sunday only...see you guys there.

OK, I'll be wearing a digital camo boonie hat and shooting an AR with green furniture.

Haven't planned the rest of my wardrobe for Sunday, lol

Real shame about the rain.

On the second round of the 1" squares I got my NPOA dialed in and shot a tiny group. I started thinking I might have a shot to shoot "Rifleman" at the end of the day.

Were there any other THR folks there that you were aware of?

See ya next year or sooner!

Check your PM's, I will send you the link to pics from the two days.
