This shoot is not yet on the Appleseed site Project Appleseed | Project Appleseed for registration, But it will be the weekend of Oct 20/21

@ArmedCorgi I know you were surprised at how fast it sold out!

I will post more when I have more info!

Subscribing to thread to follow, October is going to be a busy month for me , but I've been itching to do another Appleseed..

Maybe winter will hit early, would love to get that Winterseed patch. (need a rifleman patch too...)

I love my 10/22 Takedown, but I'm hearing a sling makes the barrel flex too much? I will have to test...

 

[nortatoga]

@MikeyCNY I have not seen any issues with take-down 10/22's, But if you do with yours I have three 10/22's one with Tech-sights and two with scopes gladly loan you one for the shoot!

Also we have run a Winterseed the past two winters, I don't know about this coming winter yet!

I've read online about barrel flex, like I said I'll have to test. I have two 10/22 Takedowns; one is an NRA model with fiber optic sights, the other one I have a cheapo red dot on it. I have a non-TD that I used for my first Appleseed, but at the time I used a replacement pistol-grip stock. It has TechSights installed but I wasn't a fan.. maybe it's because I didn't spend a lot of time getting them zeroed, but I also had a hard time focusing on the front sight. I know scopes are allowed but I was really wanting to earn a patch 'legit' (iron sights).

First the factory sights on 10/22's suck! As far as the Tech-Sights what I didn't like was I was seeing to much of the AQT! So you got me thinking I forgot I ordered the aperture inserts to reduce the amount of target I was seeing, they were $15.00.





May be something for you to look into?

 

[ArmedCorgi]

@nortatoga I looked on the Website but couldn't find a clear answer. Are you allowed to run optics or is it purely iron sights?

Either is GTG!! The course of fire on the AQT is 25 meters so optics are best at 3 or 4 power at the most!

Cool, thank you. The event still hasn't posted on the Site yet. Is it in fact going to be at Sara Spa Rod and Gun Club?

Yes it is on our Club calendar and we have close to a dozen instructors and IIT's along with the Shoot Boss as members!

 

[nortatoga]

Also @ArmedCorgi you are not to far away , if you watch our Club calendar there are events open to non-members! Send me a PM if you have any ?'s

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Okay. I'll keep checking. I want in on this and I am trying to get a couple friends to do it also.

As you know it fills up fast and I think there will be only 28 spots!

28?! Ugh what chance does a guy have? Lol! I'll be sure to check every day then.

 

[nortatoga]

There is just so much room on our 50 yard range which is under cover,



And we do have 1350 members!

Makes sense. My club only has three shooting spots on their rifle range...They have plans to expand it, but it may be a while.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

@nortatoga The event is listed on the appleseed site. There were 30 spots, I bought my ticket.

Cool! I checked the AS site before I posted this thread, So it just went up right after!

 

[nortatoga]

@MikeyCNY it appears that this shoot has been reduced from 30 to 20 spots, And it is half sold-out last I looked!

Another Appleseed in the books at Sara Spa! Sat. was a bit windy but at least it was clear most of the day (earlier in the week they were calling for 60% chance of rain went down to 20%, we did have one 5 min shower!) Sun. the wind died down some but it was a bit more chilly! Only 1 shooter score a rifleman score on Sat, But Sunday we had a few more and those that didn't the scores were improving with each AQT that they shot!! One of our forum members did shoot a few impressive scores for his first Appleseed! Nice shooting @ArmedCorgi !!

Thanks @nortatoga! It was great meeting you and it was a very fun and informative event!

 

[ArmedCorgi]

@nortatoga, do you guys host the known distance events at SaraSpa?

 

[nortatoga]

@nortatoga, do you guys host the known distance events at SaraSpa?

We have not hosted a KD shoot! We usually do KD on Sunday for shooters that feel or the instructors feel are ready to move to the next level.

We do run some practice match's that are open to non-members for a nominal fee to cover the cost of the targets. ( around $10.00)

F-class 100 yards rimfire and 200 yards centerfire from the prone position.

CMP rimfire sporter class, 50 yards kneeling/sitting and prone slow fire and rapid fire. And 25 yards standing off-hand no sling, slow fire and rapid fire.

There are a few other type of shoots just watch our calendar, I can also post here to let you know when I know more!
