Have any of you guys ever heard of the Appleseed Project?
http://www.appleseedinfo.org/
Well neither had I until a week ago when I guy at work who has been going to these things since they started told me about it and talked me into going to one of the Rifle Shoots they had this weekend in Kemmerer.
I have to admit that it was one of the most enjoyable experiences shooting a firearm I have ever had. Although I have always considered myself to be a decent shot with any of my rifles, it only took an hour or so into the Appleseed to realize I could dramatically improve.
At the Appleseed I used my open sights AR-15 and they completely re-taught me how to hold a rifle, position my body and how to use a sling to to stable the rifle in Prone, Sitting and Standing positions.
The Appleseed teachings were so effective I was shooting a sub 1 MOA 5 shot group with open sights at 25 yards. I know that 25 yards isn't a long ways but imagine hitting something about the size of your thumbnail with five consecutive shots at 25 yards while being timed, while using iron sights.
Anyway I would highly recommend that everyone should attend one of these events. They have them all over the country with quite a few in Utah and Wyoming.
