Remaining 2010 Nebraska Appleseed Shoots
« on: September 14, 2010, 10:18:12 PM »

We’re getting close to the end of the year, but there are still a few opportunities remaining to get to your first Appleseed or to bring a friend with you to your second (or third?) one. 

Dates/Locations (click the shoot location for more info)
October 9/10 – Broken Bow, NE; [Register]
October 23/24 – Grand Island, NE; [Register]
November 20/21 – Lincoln, NE; [Register]

Registration for both Saturday and Sunday is only $70 - however, it is FREE for women, under 21s, active military, and active LEOs. 
 
Don't know what Appleseed is?  Well... Appleseed is a project initiated by the Revolutionary War Veterans Association, a 501.c3 nonprofit, that describes the program this way:

Appleseed is a program that instructs Americans on the traditional rifle marksmanship skills that have been passed down from generation to generation, along with reconnecting today's Americans with the people and events of the Founding era. Participants are taught fundamental rifle marksmanship skills that are required to allow a Rifleman to be accurate out to 500 yards, with iron sights, standard rifle and surplus ammo. This is the traditional 'Rifleman's Quarter mile', which is an uniquely American Rifleman skill, that has been part of this nation from the very first days.

It's really an outstanding weekend where you'll get great marksmanship instruction and you'll hear the stories of the events that ignited the fire of revolution on April 19, 1775.  There have been quite a few NFOA members at the Appleseeds so far this year.  You may recognize some of them with their Rifleman patches in the After Action Reports from the April shoot out at Broken Bow, NE, the June shoot out at Lincoln, the July shoot out at Hastings, and the August shoot out at Grand Island.

Want to learn more about Appleseed or what you need to bring? After you've looked at those two pages, get registered online for a shoot. Heck get a buddy to register with you.  And bring your wife and kids, too!
 
Don't have a rifle yet? (unlikely considering present company here, but just in case...) On a tight budget? Take a look at a discussion on affordable Ruger 10/22 Liberty Training Rifles or Marlin 795 Liberty Training Rifles. (you will have to register for the RWVA forum to see those two threads; but if you choose not to do that, there's a limited discussion on this blog).

Hope to see you at one of the remaining shoots.
