I hope I haven't overlooked the obvious, but I can't seem to locate a listing of dates/locations to shoot the AQT waaaaaay-the-hell-over-there.
I would dearly love to shoot this with a Garand, but I can't make myself do it at 25m....

Red Bluff California will offer Full Distance Appleseeds in 2011, schedule is pending approval.
Old Guy:  Do it long enough and you get really good at it.

Rifleman:  Sacramento:  Four Ought Nine
Full Distance:  Red Bluff:  What year was that?
Pistoleer™:  Hat Creek:  Three Twenty One

Make yourselves good scouts and good rifle shots in order to protect the women and children of your country if it should ever become necessary.

Hi Dan,

I don't know that there is a definite designation for KD at a weekend Appleseed, without checking the range description. I think Fresno does KD (?) maybe Sac? Otherwise RBC is your best bet for 2 whole days of glorious KD with Riflemen to your left and right!

  Dano is trying to get a group of 'seeds to make a semi regular showing at Ojai for the hi-power KD (I plan on getting in on that after the holidays!).

  Finally, since you are now wearing an orange hat, Norcal22gal has 2 dates for Instructor KD 1 day shoots up in Red Bluff (I think) next year, Apr and Oct IIRC.

That's all I've got for now...

BTW... Nice Hat!

Yeah, I'm down with Ojai.

Re: Nice hat....

I like yours better....

Hie thee hence to a local highpower match at a full distance range. Close enough to an AQT to give satisfaction!

As previously noted:

"I would dearly love to shoot *this* with a Garand, but I can't make myself do it at 25m...."

I shot a little high power in a previous life. Great game, but it's just that:

A game.

Appleseed is for real.

A shoot is about more than the targets.
It's about the company you keep.

Check out http://www.brrc.org/

They hold monthly CMP Garand matches and Monthly "Across the course" 200, 300, & 600 Yd. matches.

That should satisfy your craving...... :~

Dang...half the year has passed already.

I say we just do it!  There will never be a good time.  I went shooting for the first time in May...the last real opportunity was when I took my hat in Oct!

1)  We need a Senior Instructor
2)  We need a weekend...I say August 27-28
     I'm not trying to be discriminatory but it is the slowest weekend around (Ladyseed).  The anti-discrimination cure is to just have more of these!
     We could also do Aug 13-14 and close off Piru as an Instructor only shoot.
3)  We need a place
4)  We need shooters

Reasons are many;  Something exciting to do before the Corona 210, we need to keep our skills up, we need community events to maintain OUR community....

Excuses are also many...but I won't give them any air time.
