If you have a standard front sight a frame that isn't stamped with an F, your front sight post will be too low and run out of threads on a flat top. I have an extended post and I'll bring it to chilidog's tune up shoot. Maybe that will take care of your sight issue.

We got thirteen instructors signed up on Eventbright and not nearly that many have provided the required info to attend.

Don't forget, item seven below is mandatory!

I would also recommend while at the 25m and on a 5 square do a box drill so you can learn the actual MOA per click for your rifle. This is some very valuable info to have and very easy to get in a setting like that. Especially the AR guys as there are so many different configurations that can be on the same AR.

No EDC.  Roger.
But we can have the serialized rifle locked and loaded in the front seat when we get to the guard shack, right?

Or do they prefer it in an "Appleseed Safe" condition?

If you are like me, and your everyday carry is a rifle, you can bring it, just send in the serial.  If its a pistol, leave it at home.  You're bringing a rifle anyway.

In all seriousness, do you advise bringing a backup rifle or just run with the best you have?

I my honest opinion, if your rifle cannot run 250 rounds without a failure, sell it and buy a real rifle. This is my advice to those who insist on a spare rifle being needed.

If however this may be your one chance to shoot KD for the next year, and you do not want to go home for a failed extractor etc, then sure, bring a second rifle.

I've never had a fail in 3500 rounds of the AR, but the boyscout in me says "bring an extra extractor & spings - just in case"...

It's not like I am bringing my AK.

Sign up for this will end Thursday night at midnight.

Been getting dribs and drabs for info on people and rifles. 

There will be a final call Friday morning for info. 

Those on the instructor schedule will receive a PM. Those signed up through eventbrite will receive an email.  Please check to be sure that all info requested at that time is sent to myself and to in@appleseedinfo.org.  The info requested may include additional items.  Specifically DOB that has been missing from the info coming in thus far.  Please wait and send(resend) all info in entirety.  I promise no age jokes... :-X

  Looks to be a fantastic event!!

Soooo...deadline is no longer the 29th?  Just asking for the sake of clarification.  I gave someone until Saturday to work out details for a loaner, hence why I haven't yet sent in my info.  If I need to him down, like, now, I can work on that.

A little embarrassed  :-[, but not too proud to ask...

I would love to come to Atterbury, but I have a couple things holding me back.
1. Time
2. Rifle

Time - Is it feasible to come out for Sunday only? I'm working sixty-eight hour weeks right now and I doubt I'll be able to make it out for Saturday. I don't want to drag everyone else down on Sunday because I missed out on Saturday.  I would rather stay home than hold the rest of you back.  There is a very slim chance that I could make it out for the whole weekend, but it's not impossible.  If Saturday attendance is mandatory to shoot on Sunday, can I come out Sunday just to watch and learn?

Rifle - I only have one rifle that is capable of reaching out to 400 yards, a Mosin Nagant 91/59 carbine.  My highest round count for a day with it is well south of 100. I honestly don't know if I can handle multiple AQTs behind that steel butt-plate, but I'm willing to try.  It's also slow; slow to cycle and slow to reload.  The sights and adjustments are crude  &).  The good news is that ammo is cheap and it's MY rifle.  I can buy a can of ammo and head to the range this weekend to line it out.  I've had a couple offers for loaners (thanks UD & AB); but I can't afford to feed Uncle Davey's M1 and AuntieBellum is too far away for me to have a chance to familiarize myself with her rifles beforehand.  I'm not above using a loaner, but it would need to be cheap to feed (I can get 300 rounds on chargers for the Mosin for $80) and close enough that I could meet you at a range this weekend to familiarize myself with it.

I would love to be a part of the KD weekend.  I've done very little shooting beyond 100 yards and have a lot to learn.  I think it will help me to be a better instructor.  But, dragging everyone else down for my sake is no fun.

Well, it's nearly 5:00 AM.  My alarm is going off in four hours to start another day.  Let me know if I should bother signing up, and don't be afraid of hurting my feelings if you feel I'll be too much of a drag; Appleseed is more important than me and my desire to come play too.

SPQR/YHJ/Bill 3 have to answer the question about sunday only.

However, if you are looking for a spare rifle, PM Slim.  He has a Colt A2 AR that he loans out all the time so long as you provide or pay for ammo.  I think everyone in the program has shot that thing at some point in time and it does shoot pretty nice - even with the foreweight removed.

Give him a buzz.

Dude, bring the Mosin.  That would be awesome.  Your ammo will be fairly cheap.


Lets all remember, we don't always shoot an AQT just for the Rifleman's score, we do it fer the learning.
