If you do not have 5 don't worry about it no need to go buy a bunch of stuff. But if you got them, do bring them.

The most important thing to bring is a teachable attitude. Try to forget what you know and try it our way, I am positive you will be pleasantly surprized if you do.
I know I was probably 1 of the worst with this. But once I decided to do as I was being told and not what I thought I knew. Well the rest is history......gotta love the history.
Have fun and report back.

Where in TN are you going to? I was down in TN. a month or so ago for an Appleseed, Manchester Arnold Air Force base. Great facility!

First, Hey Mud Cat. Good to see you here! Looking forward to this weekends Seed! Got some practice in, and I'll be banging on the door, if not bustn it down!

Next, hope for rain at your Seed. The harder it rained at my last, (and first), the more fun I had. Open mind and good attitude is a must have. If you didn't bring anything but, you'll succeed.

Anyone going to Wabash, send me a message, and maybe we can buddy up.

Leaving from Carmel.

most people "seed" with a .22,............although I'm all for using centerfire rifles, you may wanna start with a .22 and switch to centerfire later in the day. you could pay for a .22 and tech sights with the savings of one weekend, if you used the .22 alone. that being said,I shot my first appleseed with my m4gery!

Stretch. Get that lower back limbered up for some time in the prone position.

Have a great time!

What NEOCON said
M1A, M14 is the rifle the program was buit around
Your rifle, at least 5 mags 4 to 500 rounds ( if the class goes well)
Proper clothing,hearing protection of course, a shooting mat, cleaning rod & for the M1A, your tools, gas plug wrench etc.
A sling is a MUST
A shooting jacket (military type) and knee & elbow pads
Plenty of food & drink
If you have the ammo & want to learn on your M1A thats what I recomend, Not only will you be learning the 6 steps you will be doing it on the rifle you may need and getting more familiar with it.
In the mean time spend 1/2 hour every evening peacticing dry fire exersizes in your home , getting into the positions of Sitting,kenneling & prone.
You will be going from the standing to prone & sitting positions a LOT
I guarantee by the end of the second day you will be Hurting
But it will be a good kind of hurt. It will be the pain of the smile that you can't wipe from your face, the pain that you wish you could have scored just a bit more , the pain of your back, knees & elbows because you have not used then that much in a long time.
But more than anything else it will be the pain/joy you feel of Liberty the feeling of all who came before us the feeling they felt July 19, 1775

It will really be a life changing moving experience, take it all in it will be fun I'm sure.

On further review it appears I will be in Maynardville, Tennessee (which was the given hometown of Brad Pitt's character) for the Appleseed event.

I apologize for any misinformation.

I want to go to one of these.

I need to get a rifle more suitable for appleseed anyway. All I have is a scoped Remington 700 and an FS2000.
