WHAT IS PROJECT APPLESEED?

Appleseed is a program that instructs Americans on the traditional rifle marksmanship skills that have been passed down from generation to generation, along with reconnecting today's Americans with the people and events of the Founding era. Participants are taught fundamental rifle marksmanship skills that are to allow a Rifleman to be accurate out to 500 yards, with iron sights, standard rifle and surplus ammo. This is the traditional 'Rifleman's Quarter mile', which is an uniquely American Rifleman skill, that has been part of this nation from the very first days.

Most of the instruction at an Appleseed is conducted at 25 meters, at reduced size targets to simulate 100 to 500 yards. This well proven technique allows us to concentrate on the shooter's mechanics and less time walking a range. These foundational skills are not being passed on to future generations, and so Appleseeds are great for new or experienced shooters alike.

Appleseed Practice

Appleseed Practice is a four-hour event that will normally run from 8AM to noon on a Saturday, on months when there is not an Appleseed event at the club. Thus, every month, there will be either an Appleseed event (two days) or an Appleseed Practice (one half day) event, probably the 2nd Saturday of each month.

Appleseed Practice is similar to the Multi-Gun Practice run by the CFMG discipline, except that the course of fire will be the Appleseed course of fire. Centerfire or rimfire rifles may be used. Appleseed Practice is $5 for CFRPC members and $10 for non-members. Come on out and see how well you can do against the Redcoats, work on your rifle marksmanship fundamentals, and see how you rank on the RWVA version of the Army Qualification Test.
