Nice rifles!
Thanks for sharing.
But I have to ask, what good is owning these rifles if you do not know how to shoot them to effective distances?
The Appleseed Project sponsored by the Revolutionary War Veterans Association is a very, very good start.
appleseedinfo.org
check out the schedule on the forums, there shoots from west coast to the east coast, Illinios to Texas.
Two days worth of rifle marksmanship instruction for $70.00 cannot be beat.
Learn how to hit 20" targets at 500 yards with iron sights using mil surplus ammo.
The instruction taught works.
I know it works because after attending two shoots, I can now put 10 rounds into a 10" diameter at 400 yards.
This while using a standard M1A and military ball ammo.
The Appleseed Project is a great way to learn how to confidently shoot your rifle like our forebearers knew how AND learn about our Revolutionary War heritage.
Yes, at every shoot there are several brief speeches given to recognize the importance of the Revolutionary War towards our freedom today.
There's a zillion gunowners in the USA, but there's unfortunately but a few Riflemen.
This Republic needs more Riflemen, not apathetic gunowners who can't shoot 50 yards, 100 yards and hope they hit the target.
Bench shooting is useless unless you are an average duffus American gunowner.
The Appleseed Project teaches rifle marksmanship for the field, NOT the bench BTW.
With only one round, a Rifleman can confidently hit a 20" target up to 500 yards with iron sights, better known as the "Rifleman's Quarter Mile".
As an owner of the "Rifleman's Quarter Mile", it feels good!
The Rifleman's universe is one round.
The Rifleman's pledge is to understand the history and principles on which our Republic was founded. AND to teach others.
I hope all of you will become Riflemen.
