I'd be interesting in doing an Appleseed, but the 25 yard limit of all the local ones is a real turn-off for me. I mean, frankly, that range is a joke, particularly when I know what my rifles can do. It just doesn't make sense to me to spend all that time and effort just to plink at easy targets.
The “V-ring” on the 25 yard, 400 yard simulated target at an Appleseed measures 9/16 of an inch. (If memory serves me) If you can put ten consecutive shots into the V-ring in all three shooting positions with no support other then a sling, well, you probably don’t need to attend an Appleseed event.

I’m not the world’s best rifle shot, but I’m far from the worse. I didn’t make Rifleman until half way through day two of the event. There were 19 shooters on the line the weekend I attended, and I was the only one that made Rifleman. It’s not as easy as one might think for the average shooter.
