This thread needs a BUMP!
I am still going to AppleSeeed I make it to a shoot a few times a year. I much prefer going to shoot AppleSeed then hanging out at a normal rifle range.
This year I have been bringing friends with kids (about 11 years old) to a few shoots. Everyone had a great time.
One budy of mine regularly teaches CQB carbine, he loved the program. He was so excited to finally get some good instruction on prone.
He never learned traditional marksmanship correctly and thought this was an excellent program, learned much about marksmanship he never knew and had a great time.
And all the expensive toys he brought did not help him one bit (22lr rifles with silencers, fancy brand named bolt guns) since he really needed to practice his shooting,
It was a "The Indian not the arrow" sort of thing.
I have switched one of my 10/22's from a tech sight to the NoDakSpud rear sight with rail http://www.nodakspud.com/NDS-22.htm so I can put a red dot on for guests. The latest versions of these sights have double holes in the adjustment ring so that one can get finer adjustments per click. The recent sale at Primary Arms https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary_Arms_s/586.htm scored me some well thought of target red dots for only $50. And this weekend I am going to try out the BearTooth Comb raising kit http://www.beartooth-products.com/re...sing-kits.html to that my guests can get a decent cheek weld with the optic.
