Rifleman Boot Camp Info

The Rifleman’s Boot Camp (RBC) puts you on the fast track to becoming a Rifleman – or an Appleseed instructor. The training consists of classroom instruction, range-safety instruction, and marksmanship from varied distances. You’ll learn the basics of shooting at 25 yards, and how those same principles translate to shots of 100, 200, 300 and 400 yards away.  We recommend bringing both a rimfire and centerfire rifle to the RBC.  Students will receive pre-event information from the Course Director. 

In the words of one of our RBC graduates, "If you don’t have one of the best times of your life at this boot camp, something is seriously wrong with you."
