The Project Appleseed™ Instructor
Part teacher. Part storyteller.
Instructor Boot Camp – Rifle
An IBC – Rifle concentrates on teaching instructors and potential instructors how to teach at a Traditional Appleseed. The emphasis is on how to teach — not how to shoot. Each student at an IBC should already know the fundamentals of how to shoot. If you’re interested in a fast track to instructor status, think about attending one of our upcoming IBCs.
