What is Appleseed? I can't do the project any justice by trying to either define it, or sum up in text what the weekend was. I can though tell you what it isn't.
Appleseed isn't a shooting competition, however there are times where pushing yourself to do better than your previous shoots. There are also strings that are created to implement stress free fun shooting, with some friendly rivalry.
Appleseed isn't a run-of-the-mill "boy scout" introductory to fire arms, shoot the square from behind the line, event. However if you know nothing about firearms, this class is still for you. You learn to all but master your shooting technique, from the lost treasure of basics. This class will take you from peppering a piece of paper to shooting Military "Rifleman".
Appleseed isn't a bunch of topshot's opinions on how to shoot. there is a standardized flow set forth by the project Master Instructors teaching everything from safety, to controlling the rifle, to mastering the shot. Along with a standardized way of correcting problems and shooting patterns.
Appleseed isn't a militia camp, or propaganda enforcing recruitment center. However there is a clear safety command structure, teaching structure, and plenty of room for joining as a volunteer, and rifling through the ranks, with no experience necessary.
Appleseed isn't a political action group; however even though a majority of folks claim it to be apolitical, it is far from it. Appleseed highly endorses the Patriotic American. Expounding on the rich heritage of the Revolutionary War's events, the brave men and women involved, and most importantly the decisions they made to make a difference towards the idea of the country they wanted for themselves.
I would be shocked if you left an Appleseed not wanting to get involved in doing your part to make this country what you dream it could be.
Before going to Appleseed, I thought I was a pretty decent marksman; I was humbled. I thought I was safety conscious; I was humbled. I thought I knew how to mate my rifle to my body; I was humbled. I thought I knew my pre-American history; I was humbled. I thought I was giving back to the community, then I met the backbone of Appleseed; I was humbled.
If you think you have nothing to learn about shooting and have never learned the principles of Appleseed, I bet your fees, you will be humbled.
16hr and 400 rounds down range, I was challenged, encouraged, corrected, taught, determined, and successful. I can't say enough about the knowledge, patients, experience, and friendliness of the instructors (IITs, and shoot-boss). The range that hosted was fantastic in hospitality, and facilities (Hamilton County Fish & Game).
And yes, I am an AQT Rifleman!
BTW, these are my personal views as a shooter, not supported or shared in anyway by anyone else associated with the RWVA.
