Known Distance Appleseed to 600 yards

[palmettomoon]

I've posted a number of times about Appleseed events. I was a competitive shooter all through high school and college using Olympic freestyle small bore rifles. even though I thought but I was a fairly good shot and knew a great deal about shooting I still picked up some very good pointers from the instructors at the Appleseed event in Macon. Dr. John who was the shoot boss at that time also helped me unlearn some bad habits that I had picked up between my competitive time period and 30 years later

I'm getting that this is not a precision fire bolt action game but a semi-auto thing? Like a 10/22 and maybe my 6920?

You don't have to qualify at 25 meter, you just have to participate at 25 meter before moving to KD

People do qualify with bolt action from time to time but a semiautomatic like a 10/22 is a BIG help. The 25 is more precision as the target size is quite small and each iteration is timed.

I shot Rifleman several times using an Old World War II Mossberg 44US bolt action trainer with 7 round magazines. And that was in the driving rain. One of the best compliments I ever received on the firing line came from one of the volunteer instructors. He said, "Man watching you work that bolt-action it's like you're a mechanic."

I say that to say that it can be done with a bolt action rifle and it surely adds a level of challenge. Start with a good clean working Ruger 10/22 is my recommendation.

Could y'all explain more about the Appleseed and KD events? Is it rimfire and centerfire? Is all the shooting prone or freehand?

Thanks. I looked there first. Not much detail.

You were missed 6bones.

Thanks man.

Put my father in law to rest today at Georgia National Cemetery (Navy), otherwise I’d have been there with bells on!

Looking forward to the next KD!
