Appleseed in Wear's Valley

[Clod Stomper]

Meant to post this a while back. The Appleseed program finally has a range in East TN again. And it's conveniently located in Wear's Valley.

Here's the schedule. There was also one a couple weeks ago, but I'm a slacker and didn't post in time.

For those unfamiliar, Appleseed teaches the very basics of rifle marksmanship. The six steps to firing the shot, NPOA, trigger control, etc. And as a bonus they throw in a history lesson about the events of April 19,1775. All at an affordable price because they are non-profit. Even the instructors are volunteers.

That might be something me and my two older boys might want to check out.  Thanks for posting.

Thanks Stomper. :up:

 

I've wanted to attend one of these for some time now...

 

I still have to check my work schedule but tentatively plan on the November shoot.

 

Hope to see some fellow TGOer's there.  :usa:

Is anyone going to this event?

[peejman]

I'd like to go.  Need to get a sling installed on my .22 rifle.  And buy some ammo for it...

is there any appleseeds near clarksville ...

[Clod Stomper]

There used to be one close to there, but apparently not anymore.  Looks like the closest is Manchester, which looks like quite a drive for you.

Sorry, I used to be a bit involved in Appleseed, but I've been out of the loop for a while.

 

Edit:  Another thing I'd like to add...  The year before the "Appleseed Project" was officially underway, a friend and I drove the home range in Ramseur, NC.  That range is tremendous.  A short, 25 meter range and a full 600 (?) yard range with electronic pop-up steel targets.  I remember that trip fondly.  If anyone has a chance to go there, I highly recommend it.
