We recently heard that there are several RWVA Appleseed Shoots scheduled for early 2006: in North Carolina February 25/26; in Kentucky March 25/26; and in Indiana is the last part of April. (They are still working out the date for the latter) The cost is $45 for one day; $70 for the weekend. Shooters age 20 and under shoot free. Pre-registration is most appreciated. See: http://www.rwva.org for details.
And for those of you in the Pacific Northwest, don't miss the annual dynamite
shoot ("The Boomershoot") in north-central Idaho. It is scheduled
for April 30, 2006. It will be preceded by a Precision Rifle Clinic on April
28th
and
29th. (Highly
recommended.) The Boomershootis a blast (literally) and surprisingly
instructive on practical long range shooting--with
a bit more
excitement than a typical paper-punching high power match. ("That
blowed up, real good!")
If it isn't pouring rain, I suggest that you shoot prone rather than from a
bench,
to give the event more practical applicability. So bring a shooting
mat or tarp. See: http://www.boomershoot.org/2006/blast.htm
