Project Appleseed

The answer was in your statement,  there is no 400 yrd which is one of the required distances. But that does make me wonder if we can modify it and use 500 as replacement.  Certainly worth me running up the chain. Ill get back to you on that.
Thanks for posting

Have you ever tried doing an Appleseed event with a lever action? I think it would be interesting to see how well I could do with one.

Features

The Trapper Series Model 1894 features a cold hammer forged stainless steel barrel with six grooves and a 1-in-16 right hand twist to stabilize typical 10mm projectiles for consistent accuracy. A 5/8x24 threaded muzzle permits easy attachment of muzzle devices for reduced flash or added sound control. Skinner blade front sight and an adjustable Skinner rear sight provide a rugged user adjustable sighting solution for varied lighting and engagement distances.

Built on a matte stainless platform with a black laminate stock the rifle balances corrosion resistance with traditional wood like styling and modern durability. A 13.38 in. length of pull and a 6.3 lb unloaded weight deliver a stable shooting platform without sacrificing maneuverability in tight terrain. Cold hammer forging and stainless materials minimize maintenance and extend service life for hunting and tactical applications.

Yay, me! 

Thanks for a great clinic, Neil, TazDevil, and Jumpboot. Y'all were great!

These things are addicting! I bought a Tippmann M4-22 and signed up for the 25m at MCRC in October. 

Next goal: A Distinguished patch.   

Why not try Ben Avery?  They have a 1000 yard range with firing points at 100, 200, 300, 500, 600, 800, 900, 1000. The Desert Sharpshooter club (desertsharpsooters.com) hosts practice and matches on this range. They may be able to help with info on how to get access.

This is the kind of deal that only comes around every 250 years!
