It has been a great year at Mt. Appleseed, a Designated Appleseed Range (DAR) out at Wes Thompson's Range in Piru, CA. The first ever Appleseed at Piru, CA. was held April 19-20, 2008.
Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to test your skills against the AQT (army qualification target) and learn what it takes to move from being an American rifle owner to becoming an American Rifleman!
Bring your friends, your family, your co-workers and immerse yourself in the heritage that is Rifle Marksmanship in America!!!!
Ladies shoot FREE, under 21's shoot FREE, active military and guard with ID shoot FREE in 2009!
Hone those shooting skills, make new friends, and get back in touch with our Rifleman Heritage.
Get in those pre-reg's for the upcoming May 23-24, 2009 Piru, CA Appleseed. This gives us an idea of how many instructors to have available to be able to properly cover the line, let alone get an accurate count of targets, t-shirts, hand-outs, etc.
So who is coming to the Piru, CA Appleseed May 23-24, 2009, and have you pre-reg'ed yet? Remember....it costs $45 for one day and $70 for two days if you pre-reg and it now costs $50 for one day and $80 for two days if you don't pre-reg.
