      Project Appleseed... Sept 8-9

      Griz! Pleasure meeting you and M. We had a nice contingent from MD in Chambersburg this weekend. I think Hagerstown folks are starting to realize that this location is really pretty convenient... just a short trip up 81. Manheim will be the place to be this winter.

      Offhand tips?

      You can't go wrong with dryfiring. This is how I do it. I start very close to the target (in my case a tiny little target scaled for 27ft taped to my basement frig). I dry fire for a set number of rounds with 100% confidence that I can keep the front sight on the bull the whole time. I...

      Maryland Appleseed Thread 2012

      Manheim has a grass firing line. It can be a little uneven, but a standard shooting mat or carpet remnant is plenty. .

      Maryland Appleseed Thread 2012

      Spend a few minutes a day getting in and out of a sitting and prone position. It doesn't have to be perfect, you don't even need a rifle with you, you're just getting your body used to something new. I know this is listed in the how to prepare section, no one does it and everyone wishes they...

      Maryland Appleseed Thread 2012

      BeSwift will agree with me a he's probably spoken to as many clubs about Appleseed as I have.... If you can think of an excuse, any excuse, no matter how ridiculous it sounds... we've heard it from clubs. GUN clubs filled with GUN owners and enthusiasts that should know better. Even when...

      Looking for a place to practice for appleseed in or around cecil co.

      You'd be fine if you just grabbed a bunch of extra 5 rounders. The course of fire can trace its roots to the time when the Springfield 1903 and it's 5 round stripper clip was the rifle. ...and yes the 25 rounders do tend to get in the way, but if that's what you decide on the Ruger 25s are...

      Rifle marksmanship for our Soldiers?

      I just happened on this... I see someone had asked awhile back about Appleseed doing military shoots. I was one one of the Appleseed instructors that spent 4 days with the Spartans, soldiers of the 3rd Combat Brigade, 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, NY before their latest deployment...

      I'll just remind everyone that Pennsylvania loves border raiders... Chambersburg, PA is just over the border, allows centerfires, has a covered 25m line and 100 yds available for Sun PM.

      Here's another excellent article about a shoot in Manheim, PA, written from the perspective of a female IDPA shooter. From "Women of USPSA": Planting Seeds by Kitty Richards .

      June and September dates in Chambersburg, PA have just been announced. That's just over the border. ...delightful range with a covered firing line. I hear they allow Marylanders there too. :D Info Register

      I need to get myself an M1 Garand

      M1 Garand... If you could shoot 30'06 from your Cadillac, that's what it would be like. :thumbsup:

      Appleseed Finally Comes To Maryland X 3!

      The requirements are pretty simple, a 25 meters and a safe backstop is a good start. A hall is not necessary, all of the instruction can and usually is done at the firing line. Appleseeds are open to the public so we would try to get as many shooters as your facility can accommodate. I just...

      Appleseed Finally Comes To Maryland X 3!

      Hi folks, I'm an Appleseed instructor in Pennsylvania and just want to extend a personal invitation to everyone to come and visit us north of the "sweet tea line." We'll be more than happy to accommodate anyone that hasn't been able to sneak into an Annapolis shoot... at least until you...
