Well folks its time for another Appleseed, but wait a minute. Why it just seems like it was two weeks ago that we had an Appleseed at Piru. THAT IS BECOUSE IT WAS! Do you rely need an excuse to come out and have a fun filled weekend shooting at the beautiful Appleseed range at Piru. Rain or shine, it will be a beautiful weekend of shooting. So come out and join your fellow Americans in partaking of a national pass time.

You do not know how to shoot? We will teach you, and then some!

You do not have a rifle? We will lone you one!

If you already have been, bring a friend or family member. Hope to see you there!

While we still have to deal with the restrictive California gun laws that have been legislated onto us, we still know how to have a great time, while becoming better Rifle men & women.
All applicable California rifle restrictions are in place, if in doubt to what is allowable, please refer to: http://www.ag.ca.gov/firearms/

*No detachable box magazines may be brought into state with capacity exceeding ten rounds.  Unless you owned them prior to Jan1, 2000; then it's OK. All Tubular-magazine 22s are OK.

*"Assault weapons" ban- If you're registered with CA DOJ already, you're fine and can shoot your AK, AR15, G3 etc. with no problem.  Might want to Xerox the DOJ document and keep it in the rifle case.  Do not bring an unregistered "assault weapon" into the state.  Do not bring an unregistered "assault weapon" to the range.  Similarly, unregistered 50 BMG is not legal.

Out of state shooters, don't bring military-pattern semiautomatics as they're almost sure to fall under the "assault weapon" ban.  M1 Garand and most 10-shot fixed-magazine SKS.are OK, however.  There is one SKS exception: Zastava SKS Carbines 59/66 are considered destructive devices in California and therefore may not be purchased, possessed, imported, or kept for sale without a permit.  (Having said all that about "assault rifles", there is provision in state law for out-of-state shooters to bring "assault rifles" to CA shooting events; anybody wants to try that out might want to read the statute for themselves and consult a lawyer-welcome to California.)

Now, what is this going to cost you? Well, first.....you have to pay "attention". Women, 20 and under, and active military are given free admittance. Guys, 21 & older that are -not- in the military will be charged $45 for one day, $70 for the full weekend if they pre register here: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/208509658
If they just show up at the door, it will be $50 for one day, and $80 for the weekend, plus the range fee of $10.
