Patch requirements?

[StuartV]

I've looked all over. I've searched. I can't find anything that documents all the official Appleseed patches and their requirements. It seems like it should be documented on the main website, or at least a pinned thread here.

So, what are all the official patches one can earn, and what are the requirements for each?

I'll start a list.

Rifleman - 210 or higher on 25m AQT,
     or 40 or more on KD AQT

Distinguished - Iron sights - 230 or more on 25m AQT,
     Optic - 240 or more on 25m AQT,
      at a KD

250 - shoot a 250 (using 30 cal rule) on a 25m AQT,
      any similar patch for a KD?

Morgan's Rifleman - hit a shingle on the first shot from a cold bore. Shingle at 250 yds at a KD or half-sized shingle at 125 yards at a rimfire KD

Can someone fill in the blanks there?

Are there other patches one can earn?

Thanks!

Those are the basic patches that you mention.

Distinguished at a KD is 46 hits in the black with iron sights and 48 in the black with optics.
Sometimes, depending where you are and if the shoot boss has the extra large paper targets, you can count points. We have those large targets in Texas, at least at New Braunfels, and you can count points. I witnessed a skilled shooter score a 250 and he was awarded a 250 patch.

There are other, special versions, of the Rifleman patch that are available from time to time. One that comes to mind is a red white and blue patch that can be earned at a shoot that is close to, or on, April 19th.

If you shoot Morgan's Shingle standing you can also be awarded at gold star for your Morgan's Shingle patch. I've seen some shoot bosses award that and others that did not. Perhaps it is not an official Appleseed thing, the gold star.

There are quite a few other patches associated with Appleseed that are not shooting skills related. Some are the state in which you reside, one is called Battle Road (for those Appleseeders who have walked on Battle Road in Masschusetts), and some others. I'll try to find it, but a year or two ago, there was a post on these forums about the kinds and styles of patches associated with Appleseed.



Hope this helps.

Thank you, Gus!

The standing shingle is an official AS thing. A gold appurtenance is mailed to the shooter, while supplies last. A perfect, all shots in the paper 5, full-power KD gets a 250. The Winterseed Riflleman is a qualification for Rifleman as usual, but the weather must be an "impediment to spirit" which basically means cold AND awful. If you qualify Rifleman on a KD shoot, you get a Known Distance Bar, likewise, on a rimfire KD you get a Rimfire KD bar.

In addition to those already mentioned, that comprises the rifle program's patches.

There are patches for the instructor program, patches for the Pistolseed program, morale patches, and special event patches. We *LIKE* our patches, and we like telling people at the event what is eligible to be earned. Pleasant surprises are always nice.

 Cool. Thanks for the additional info, Big John!

Pistoleer™ Patches to include Distinguished.

Ah, yes! And are the score requirements the same as for a 25m clinic?

I.e. 210 for Pistoleer™, 230 for Distinguished using Iron sights, 240 for Distinguished using an optic?

Yes.

Also there are accomplishment bars for KD and Rimfire KD clinics for shooting a qualifying score at one.

We all do love our patches! Why else would we offer such a variety?

Remember, though, to focus on the front sight. In this case, the front sight is the process.

Keep your attention where it needs most to be - the process - and the hits on target will come. Followed by awesome patches
