Who we are and what we're about:

The Appleseed Program is designed to take you from simply being a rifle owner to being a true

rifleman. All throughout American history, the rifleman has been defined as a marksman

capable of hitting targets 500 yards away — no ifs, ands or buts about it. This 500-yard range is

traditionally known as "the rifleman's quarter-mile;" a rifleman can hit just about any target he

can see. This skill was particularly evident in the birth of our country, and was the difference in

winning the Revolutionary War.

Ladies, shooters under 21, and Active Duty/Reserve/Guard with MIL ID shoot FREE

What You Will Learn:

Six Steps to firing a shot, sling usage, sight adjustment, Inches, Minutes, Clicks, and your

Heritage as an American Rifleman. Much of the instruction takes place on reduced-size targets

at 25 meters, so there’s lots of shooting without a lot of walking to check targets.

Quick Answers to Appleseed Questions

What is Project Appleseed? It is a program that instructs people in basic rifle marksmanship using rack-grade rifle and surplus ball ammo. It is also a program intended to revitalize the tradition of the Rifleman.

Who should attend? Appleseed instruction is perfect for the novice as well as the experienced shooter. There is something for all to learn.

Why "Appleseed"? "Appleseed" comes from Johnny Appleseed, the American folk hero who walked the country planting apple seeds, not for himself, but for future generations.

What is your real agenda? Provide instruction in Marksmanship and revitalizing the Rifleman Tradition. We also teach respect for our Revolutionary War history. That is all we are about.

What kind of rifle do I need? You can use any safe firearm, which can be accurately shot from the shoulder, from .22 rim fire to .32 (8mm). While semi-auto friendly, we are not unfriendly to bolt guns.

What kinds of sights are allowed? Appleseed has no sight / optic restrictions - you can use ANY.

Which caliber is best? They all are. Appleseed is not caliber specific.

How much ammo do I need? It is best to bring around 200 rounds per day.

How much does it cost to attend? $70 for two days with pre-registration and that includes a free T-shirt. $45 for one day only. Some ranges charge a minimal range fee, usually $5-10/day. There is a $10 walk on fee if you do not preregister.

Ladies, shooters under 21, and Active Duty/Reserve/Guard with MIL ID shoot FREE

Why military rifles? Because they are fast, easy to reload, and reliable

Do I need a sling? Yes. A military style web sling. Nothing fancy is required.

Can I use a bipod? No, we teach the basic shooting positions: standing, sitting/kneeling and prone, using a sling.

Do you have a checklist of things to do in preparation for a shoot? Yes, look at: www.appleseedinfo.org

Can kids come? Yes, responsible junior shooters are welcome and shoot free.

Where can I get more information? There are schedules, equipment lists and much more on our website.

Where are shoots scheduled this year? We will have almost 300 shoots this year nationwide.

Can I just show up and register for a shoot? Yes, but there is a $10 walk on fee. Pre-registration allows us to schedule our instructors most effectively. If you do not have internet access, send your entry fee of $45/$70 along with your shirt size, name, address and phone number, date and place you want to register for to: RWVA, POB 756, Ramseur, NC 27316
