I have been reading posts around the website and have come acrossed two or three that discuss instructors who show up and shoot an Appleseed rather than instruct. If you happen to be at an Appleseed and there are plenty of instructors to run the shoot I think it would be a great learning experience to spend a couple days shooting and listening as a student rather than as an instructor. If you arn't signed up to work a shoot but find yourself free that weekend, or for a day, come out and shoot. Leave your hat in the car and sign up as a walk on.
I hereby give all Appleseed Instructors permission to shoot free at any Appleseed Event in Virginia. We would all appreciate a knowledgeable critique on our methods and our teaching. Two or three in a row and we might start talking about a lack of dedication to instructing on your part.

Wait a minute!! Shoot?? or Teach?? Lay down on the ground, sit down on the ground, shoot, or stand up and walk around all day.... Darn! you're making it tough on us VAshooter.
I used to talk about (brag really 8)) about shooting a couple hundred rounds through my M1A or M1 in a day and not even getting a rasberry on my shoulder. Guess what? This darn blood thinner medicine has put an end to that!! I shot about 30 rounds through my new ARtoy Sunday afternoon after you guys started shooting again and when I took a show Sunday night guess what I've got on my right shoulder?? Little tiny bruises....from an AR!!!! How in the devil can you get bruised from an AR15?? Its not a big nasty bruise, just 3 or 4 little ones around where the butt was on my shoulder. I can't wait to shoot the M1 Garand. We'll see.
