Project Appleseed is dedicated to teaching every American traditional marksmanship skills and the history of our nation's founding. Many of the stories we tell involve the events surrounding the battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775.

This is the most cost effective rifle training available anywhere in the country. Adults are $60, minors are $20, and active duty military, police, elected officials and people with physical disabilities are free.

We teach three position shooting utilizing a G.I. web sling. Without bags, rests, or bipods you can learn to make hits on silhouettes out to 500 yards with iron sights. Anyone can do this, it's just a matter of learning the fundamentals of shooting and practice. At one of our 25 meter clinics, we will teach the skills to consistently shoot -1" groups, or 4moa. That 1" group at 25 yards is no harder to accomplish than a 20" group at 500 yards. The key, and what we focus on, is how to achieve natural point of aim, or NPOA.

Every shooter, no matter how skilled, can benefit. All are welcome on the line. My daughter started at 7 years old with next to no experience. Our shoots have high instructor to student ratios, so everyone can get the attention they need to improve.

We are having an event at the Georgia Gun Club on August 8-9.

For those with children, we often have subsidized ..22lr available for them to shoot. It's often CCI and costs $1.50-$2.00 a box. A normal round count will be 3-400 rounds for a weekend. If your kids need the ammo to be able to attend, PM me and I will contact the shoot boss to see if he will have some.

All you need is a rifle and ammo. It will be a tremendous advantage to have the rifle outfitted with a GI web sling, or 1907 style sling. A shooting mat or even a carpet remnant will be helpful to your knees and elbows. We shoot in every condition except lightning, so come prepared for what mother nature might bring.

I will answer or get the answer to any questions in the thread or through PM.

There is only room for 24 shows on the line, with 12 already sold.
 
If it's outdoors where will it be and at what distances. Is it only .22?
Thx.

I'll contact the shoot boss, but it appears to be inside. It will probably take place in a pistol range at 25 yards at the Georgia Gun Club. There is also a 100 yard indoor rifle range on site. When we are able, Sunday afternoon discusses known/unknown distance, ballistics, come ups, etc with some shooting at whatever distance the range is capable of. I'll check on that.

Centerfire is welcome, and encouraged. We refer to .22 as a training tool, especially if the students are young, inexperienced, and not used to the noise and recoil. Engaging 1" targets at 25 yards is only to practice the fundamentals needed to make hits on larger targets out to 500 yards.

We are also having a known/unknown distance clinic focused mainly on ranging and shooting targets of unknown distances. This is held on a private 1000 yard+ range in Elberton, and is open to anyone who has attended at least one Appleseed. I've been told a good portion of the class will be 500 yards or greater.

Wow that's awesome. I need to get the kiddos some rifles!
 
Waiting on son's schedule to see if we can make this work.
Do you know the times of day each day? I looked on the website link and may have overlooked it. Thanks.
