It has been a great two years at Mt. Appleseed. We are about to celebrate our two year Anniversary as 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. Since then we have held an Appleseed a month, two Riflemen Boot Camps (week long Appleseed events) and had lots of campfire time spent with friends. (Clean up weekends, etc.)

It is now time for another Appleseed out at the range. The dates are April 17-18, 2010. We will be celebrating the 235th Anniversary of the beginnings of the Revolutionary War. Come out and learn about your heritage! The sacrifices made by the founders. Come out and have fun!

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! Sure there will be other Appleseeds, but only one at the two year anniversary of the DAR range in Piru.

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 2010!

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 April 17-18, 2010 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 April 17-18, 2010 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. Prices haven't changed since last year!
