Fred's (commercial enterprise of the originator of the Apple seed Project) used to sell cloth jackets for expressly the purpose of helping people become Rifleman.

If I shoot another applesseed , my rifle will be 1 of 2 things a single shot anschutz match rifle that I single load during rapid fire events to prove a point (and make me work my ass off) or one of my prs rifles w/ traillboss / lcoated ead bullets/ and a can because it would be fun, cheap, no real barrel wear and tear, and I suspect the targets would make a statement...
