http://bonecreekgunclub.com/map-to-range/ is hosting a two day rifle class October 11th & 12th. Instructors will teach participants the basics of shooting from unsupported positions (standing, kneeling, sitting & prone) and proper use of a sling to stabilize the rifle.

The firing line at our last one.


The class is run Saturday & Sunday from 9 AM - 5 PM.
Two days of training cost $60 for adults & $20 for anyone under 18.
One day prices are $40 for adults or $15 if under 18. LEO's, all military and elected officials shoot free!
Expected round count is 100 - 200 rounds each day.  Ultimate round count depends on how fast the class moves so bring lots!

How to prep for an Appleseed

Here's the group checking out their targets at a previous AS we hosted.


All shooting will be done on miniature targets at 25 yards that represent shots of 100 - 400 yards. Any kind of gun is welcome but semi-autos with peep sights or scopes and removable magazines work best. The short distance makes rimfires like Ruger's 10/22 an excellent budget training rifle. .22LR rifles work great but centerfire rifles are welcome if you can afford to feed them! Many shooters will also use AR-15's with .22 conversion kits.

200 meters prone after spending a day at 25 meters.


Comfort gear - Foam camping pad, water, snacks, lunch, chair, sunscreen.
We'll spend time shooting from standing, kneeling, sitting and prone so wear clothes you're comfortable moving around in. Your foam pad will be on a concrete floor and you'll be standing, sitting or kneeling on it much of the day so DO NOT bring an inflatable pad (it will break).

The kids & ladies of Appleseed!




Facility - BCGC has a concrete pad and roof on the firing line that will accommodate 30 shooters. We have porta potties and that's it. If you want water, food, chairs or anything else bring it with you. Check the weather forecast and pack accordingly.

Thanks for another successful Applseed event. Looking forward to the next one. I'll see if I can't get a few more people to attend.
