How good are you?  A Rifleman can put 5 rounds into a postage stamp at 25 yards prone unsupported.  No bag, no bipod, no bench.  
This is the size a target at 500 yards would appear.  That’s what we’ll teach you.

Notice - Smith & Wesson 15/22 .22LR rifles have been temporarily banned from Appleseed while S&W and Appleseed work to determine the cause of malfunctioning rifles that have created safety concerns. That may or may not change before this event.
S&W centerfire AR15's, all .22LR conversions and non-S&W .22LR dedicated uppers are allowed.

If you’ve wanted to learn the finer points of putting accurate rounds on target this is for you.  We’ll spend two days learning how to shoot the rifle from standing, seated, kneeling and prone with just a sling to help steady the rifle.  No bipods, bags or benches (although we do make any allowances needed for a person's physical limitations).

We’ll do our shooting at 25 yards using reduced size targets to simulate distances of up to 500 yards.  There’s no point walking back and forth to far away targets or worrying about wind and drop until you can actually put rounds on a simulated size target.  The 500 yard target is a 1" square (the size of a postage stamp).

Here's the link to Appleseed's national calendar if you can't make it to this one.

Here’s Appleseed's homepage where you can read all about Appleseed.  Lucky Gunner wrote up a review of Appleseed and a follow up of lessons learned that do a good job of telling you what to expect.

The entry fee is $60 for adults, $20 for kids under 18 and $20 for all rfmilitary (Active, Guard & Reserves) and police and elected officials.

We’ll fire about 600 rounds over two days.  The class is held rain, snow or shine as long as it’s safe to drive.  Dress accordingly.

Because of the close distance lots of folks use .22LR rifles like Ruger’s 10/22.  Centerfire rifles like the AR-15, FAL or any other military pattern rifle are also welcome at most events (some ranges are .22LR only).  Any rifle and any sighting system is allowed but the course of fire is designed around removable magazine fed semi-autos.

Kids and new(er) shooters are welcome but this is not the best class to learn how to shoot a rifle for the first time.  Students should at least know how to load, unload, clear a minor malfunction and must be safe standing up and sitting down with a rifle.

Here are some helpful links.
