im going to attend an appleseed event in augusta.  But my question is to people that have been.  I've got a 10/22 with a scope, should i pull the scope off and get some tech sights?  And i thought about getting a spike .22 conversion for the ar , but it lacks iron sights too its got an aimpoint on it.  I know im over thinking this way too much.  
What gun(s) should i use and how should i set them up to get the most? it says optic are welcome but i have limited experience with irons

Reading through the Appleseed website, you'll run across this quote.

"Two weeks after the balloon goes up, iron sights will rule the world." - Clint Smith, owner of Thunder Ranch

That's telling.

Bone I am an Instructor for them and irons are the way to go.  You will learn a lot.  That range is nice and the Shoot Boss Steve is an awesome guy.

I've shot a few Appleseeds.  Those one inch by one inch black squares at 25 yds are a bit tough.  I may use some sort of optic on the next one I am planning to go to in April.  The wife says that my eyesight is starting to go, and to try to give a scope or optic a try.  

I would rather score with iron's but if you can make it... well.  

Sucks getting old.
