Appleseed article

<< < (2/3) > >>

SBarry:
The guys told me that they talk about history and getting involved, and that it gives the shooters a little incentive and awareness about what is going on.

Rich B:
They do give a history lesson regarding the events leading up to the revolution.  I suppose that's technically political and Tories might be offended.

I don't recall them mentioning anything current about the state of affairs of the 2A and RKBA.

FarmerRick:
I'd really like to attend an appleseed shoot this coming year if they have one on this side of the state.

Dan W:
So Rich, how much time do you need to spend in the sitting position. I am wondering if I am limber enough to spend a long time in that position as my legs go numb...

Do the strings of fire in a course have a time limit ( i assume they do ) as the info refers to high capacity and multilpe magazines being recommended.

If we all think it's a good idea, I could start a section just for Appleseed discussion.



ETA: I think I have answered my own questions

AQT is pretty much the same as the National Match Course in High Power
- 10 Rounds Slow Fire Standing (100m simulated)
- 10 Rounds Rapid Fire Sitting (200m simulated, two targets one mag change, start standing)
- 10 Rounds Rapid Fire Prone (300m simulated, three targets one mag change, start standing)
- 20 (or 10 for QDAQT) Rounds Slow Fire Prone (400m simulated, four+ targets)
- Targets scored and logged . 200+ on AQT  = Rifleman.

The standard time limits for the slow fires are ~1 minute per shot and the rapid fires are ~5-6 seconds per shot.

Rich B:
I could not do the sitting position due to my hip and knee problems. 

Part of the qualification test requires you to get into a sitting position, I think that string of fire is 60-90 seconds.  There's also the instructional portion earlier in the day where you'll practice the sitting position.  If you can't do it, don't.  Practice something else.

IIRC, the longest string is the final one, that's maybe 4 minutes long.


No need to dilute the forum with another forum.  Thanks for the offer though!
