Upcoming Appleseed shoots

[Colorado Pete]

March 26-27 at Ben Lomond Gun Club near Ramah, and April 16-17 at Frontier Gun Club's south Fountain range.

For those of you unfamiliar with Appleseed, we teach a weekend clinic combining the history of the day the American Revolution started with a comprehensive rifle position markmanship program. If you want to know why you're not a British subject and improve your unsupported (no benches, bipods, sticks, or sandbags) position shooting, come join us.

These are great events. We went to the one in Fountain last year and are going to the one in Brighton this year. The history lesson is just as good, if not better than the shooting. Since the class I have read the book "Paul Revere's Ride." Everyone who sees this needs to at least pick it up at the library. It is an easy and very entertaining read. This man needs more recognition of his importance to American history.

Hey there CO Pete - I attended a couple of the Appleseed's last summer at BLGC. It was great fun and awesome learning experience for me. Planning on attending this summer also.

Very worthwhile program to attend. I went to my first at Brighton in July - when I showed up, I knew most of the concepts, but hadn't had the chance to internalize and understand the ideas. By the time I left, I had my rifleman patch.

Last weekend at Byers, I repeatedly re-shot my rifleman score, demonstrating the long-term effectiveness of their approach. Sunday, we took it out to 350 yards (vs the 25m at Brighton, and the first day of Byers), and everything still worked.

I really recommend the program, for newbies and experienced shooters, alike.
