Project Appleseed is hosting rifle clinics at three ranges in Kansas this year.
You can sign up for all the Kansas events at this link. Here's the schedule...
April 29-30 Bone Creek Gun Club near Pittsburg April 29-30 Facebook event linkJune 3-4 Mill Creek Rifle Club in De Soto June 3-4 Facebook event linkOctober 21-22 Air Capital Gun Club near Wichita October 21-22 Facebook event linkRimfire only at this range - ACGC is a rimfire only range so please leave the centerfire rifles at home.
Registration/check in at all locations opens at 8 AM. A mandatory safety briefing is at 9 AM and marks the start of each day's course. Walk-ons are welcome if space allows but early registration is the only way to guarantee a spot. These events usually sell out!
S&W M&P 15/22 rifles are welcome on the line!
If ammo availability is a concern we have some .22LR ammunition we can provide at our cost of $10/100 (CCI SV) for use at the event. We can’t supply everyone but if you’re unable to find any ammo or need a little more to do the whole class we can help. Please email or PM me for details.
At most Project Appleseed clinics centerfire rifles are welcome. Some events are limited to .22LR only. Check the individual event for caliber restrictions.
Any rifle action and any sighting system is allowed but the course of fire is ideally suited for removable magazine fed semi-auto rifles.
You'll learn how to hit targets up to 500 yards away from the prone position using nothing but a sling to stabilize the rifle.
Instead of walking 500 yards back and forth we'll use reduced size targets at 25 meters to represent targets up to 500 yards away.
During the class we'll cover optimizing your rifle and sling set up, establishing a stable position with your body's natural point of aim, proper trigger control and follow through as well as correct sight alignment and sight picture.
Total round count will be under 500 rounds for the two day clinics.
Students will learn how to fire accurate shots from the standing, kneeling, seated and prone positions as well as the six steps to firing a shot, how to zero their rifle, bullet drop and sight holds at different distances plus their personal maximum effective range and much more.
In addition to live fire drills students will learn multiple dry fire drills designed to teach all the elements of accurate riflery without burning valuable ammo.
Project Appleseed clinics are held rain, snow or shine as long as it’s safe to drive. Dress accordingly and bring food, water, snacks and anything else you need for a full day on the range.
