Just attended my first day of Appleseed 2-day rifle training.
I was using a 10-22; other students were all over the map from Garands to ARs to 223 bolt actions. Man, 75$ for 2 days with a 3:2 student to teacher ratio is hard to beat.
The safety procedures weren’t up to Scotty Reitz’s organization but then IMO few places are, and I never felt scared about anything.
They definitely teach “state of the art = WWII, and everything since then has gone downhill”. There are a couple of things that they do different from Scotty that I would love to ask some modern training org why what Appleseed does might be less than optimal. But overall as a beginning rifle shooter I got a ton out of day one. And they were great at helping me adjust my shooting positions to accommodate for various injuries.
So far I’ve learned I generally suck at rifle shooting; except for standing/offhand where I blow everyone else away.
I hope day 2 is cooler; day 1 was 101 degrees or above for most of the day.
