Appleseed is returning to Grandfield, OK on September 8-9, 2012. Come experience this outstanding weekend course on the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship, and test your skills out to 1,000 yards on Badlands Tactical's wonderful facilities. Appleseed teaches the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship like no one else. Whether you are a beginner, a shooter that has never had any formal instruction, or an expert marksman, you will benefit from this course. Appleseed is a nationwide volunteer organization dedicated to promoting our American heritage of marksmanship, and to remembering the Revolutionary War veterans who made it possible. Since we are all-volunteer, we are able to keep the fees very low and offer free or highly reduced admission to women, youth under 21, current military, law enforcement, and others (for details see our registration website). Regular admission for adult men is $70 for the weekend, or $40 for one day. The Appleseed course of fire is based around the 25m Army Qualification Test. The AQT is a challenging course of fire requiring the shooter to maintain precise fire from multiple positions under time pressure with required reloads. Come see how you stack up, and find out whether you are Unqualified, Marksman, Sharpshooter, or Expert. Those who shoot Expert on the Army Qualification Test earn Appleseed's coveted Rifleman patch, and an invitation to join us as an Instructor in Training.
Though most of our shooting is done at 25m, on Sunday we will move to the full distance range to test our shooters' skill out to 1,000 yards on steel silhouette targets. If you have never had an opportunity to fire at this distance before, this is a perfect opportunity to do so. Any safe rifle is allowed at Appleseed. If you bring it, we will show you how to be a more effective marksman with it. .22s are fine for the 25m portion of the event, and are great for keeping ammo costs low. Shooters who wish to participate in full distance shooting need to bring a suitable center fire rifle.
Appleseed is a very family-friendly activity, so bring the spouse and kiddos. We love kids (they are the main ones we need to pass the heritage on to, after all), and welcome all ages to participate as long as they can safely handle a rifle. We have several loaner .22 rifles, for participants who do not own a suitable rifle. Contact me by PM or e-mail (see my signature line) to reserve loaner rifles, or for any other inquiries you might have.

I hope to see many OSA'ers on the firing line!
