Good to see you buddy, good job with the line commands 3 minutes after shooting Rifleman!

I'm new here too!! but hopping to make it a long stay. I first heard of Appleseed on Northeastshooters.com (I'm silver74 there) and I see some familiar names and avatars!

Wow, I just got back in from running the chipper out in the yahd............., and saw that I had not responded to
this thread.

I as well just noticed that I haven't posted here.

Hi everyone.

Hello from Worcester County! I just found the link to these boards from the frugalsquirrels forums. I've heard of Project Appleseed from my father a few months back and finally dropped in to check it out.

Good to see Massachusetts still has some people who are proud of our heritage! Looking forward to the first shoot I can sign up for.

We have three more this year, so hope you can get to one.

[Sigfan87]

Wow that was unexpectedly quick. I've read through briefly to get an idea of how these shoots work. Just two questions for clarification.
1. The two day shoot in Leyden, is it ok to sign up for just one day? Unfortunately I have to work Sunday.
2. For a first timer, but experienced shooter, what would you recommend I bring for a rifle?

[dwarven1]

Yes, you can sign up for one day. Since online registration closes tonight, do it quick, or do it as a walk-in. You save $5 if you do it online, though.

Figure you're probably going to need at least 300 rounds for Saturday. Bring a rifle. Any rifle. We'll work with you on it.

What would be good for it to have? Peep sights, preferably "click adjustable" - like the sights on an AR-15 or M1 Garand. A sling, either Garand-style or 1907-style is best. Magazine fed is a "nice to have", but if all you have is a tube-fed Marlin or a stripper-clip fed SKS, that's fine, too.

If you have an AR with iron sights and a sling, that's perfect. Or you can bring a .22, also. They're cheaper to feed and the skills you learn are the same.

Not very helpful, I know, but Appleseed is about the Rifleman, not the rifle. You just bring a rifle and we'll work with you on it, whatever it is.
