April 14,15 2007 Appleseed Doylestown, PA

We are two weeks away from April 14, 15 2007 at Wicen's Range in Furlong Pa, south of Doylestown.

Interest among the local gun shops appears high, but I will find room onthe line for my brothers of The Rally Point.

You can't buy training cheaper than $100 for two full days, 16 hours chock full of American History, Principles of the Republic, the basic six steps of hitting your target with your chosen long arm, and conversation with like minded citizens.

You may register on-line, via www.rwva.org (and get a tee shirt shipped in) or on site, if you fear the trail.

Take the challenge on your home range TODAY, and see if you can benefit from a little coaching.

Set a 1" square at 25 meters (82 feet) heck, 25 yards is close enough. Place ten shots, in any position, except off the bench, inside that one inch square. If you can do it, come on out and help me teach other less fortunates!

Slings HIGHLY recommended, as is a pad to lie on, and field glasses to spot with, stpaler to hang targets.
Don't forget sun screen, a cleaning kit, and lots of water!

Hope to see ya there!

Pacer.

Plan of Instruction:

Safety Briefing and Firearm safety check.
April 19, 1775 the Day America awoke.
The Baseline---The Redcoats are coming!

The Secret to hitting your target...The Six Steps of Firing a Shot
The effective use of the sling.
Trigger Control
The Cheek Weld
The basics of the Prone position


Firing for group size
Regulating your sights.
NPOA Drills..shifting targets.

Fluent Magazine changes
The Rifelman's cadence

The Offhand Position
The Sitting Position
Ranging targets using your sight
The Effects of Wind
Cleaning your long arm
Battle Site Zero
Transition to 100 yards

...and lots and lots of the Army Qualification Targets/ Course of Fire

400 rounds should do you.

.22LR is adequate for the 25 Meter course.
