Appleseed
04-05-2009, 06:30 AM
The Revolutionary War Veterans Association, a non-profit, all-volunteer organization, are providing one- and two-day rifle safety, marksmanship and American heritage clinics, called Appleseeds.
Attendees are taught rifle safety and the foundational marksmanship skills that will allow them to shoot accurately to 500 yards (the rifleman's quarter-mile) with only a standard rifle, sling, and iron sights. The focused lessons and supportive team teaching create a comfortable, no-fail environment for men, women, and children alike and everyone, from the experienced competitive shooter to the never-touched-a-rifle-before beginner, will benefit from the clear instruction and individual coaching provided by the dedicated, volunteer staff.
During breaks in the marksmanship instruction, students learn about the events of April 19th, 1775, when the torch of liberty ignited. They learn about the determination and sacrifices of ordinary people who faced an extraordinary opponent to purchase our liberty, the vital role marksmanship played in the struggle, and the reason it is essential to preserve this heritage for future generations.
Appleseeds are FREE to women, people under 21, active military (including Guard and Reserve), and Revolutionary War re-enactors in period dress. All others: One day: $45, Two Days: $70. There is a range fee of $10 per day for all attendees.
The next events are scheduled for April 18-19 in the following locations:
Hernando County Sportsman's Club, near Brooksville
Manatee Gun and Archery Club, near Myakka City
Escambia River Muzzle Loaders Club, near Pensacola
