I just found this article by Massad Ayoob regarding recommended rifles for Appleseed.
http://appleseedinfo.org/news/news-2010-02-06.html
The Rifle and Gear,
Ruger 10-22 Carbine,
Outfitted with Tech-Sights and a USGI sling.
3 - 10 round Mags.
A Brick of Your Favorite 22s’.
A Shooting Mat, Lots’ of ‘Prone’ Shooting.
Ear and Eye Protection.
Pack a Lunch and snak,it is an All Day Sucker.
You Will Come away with a Whole New Perspective.
Great Read, Thanks!
You’ll shoot 500 rds. Bring what you can afford.
If anyone needs any more instruction, the NRA high power rifle matches are inexpensive and well worth the time.
If anyone needs to know how to handle a handgun, then it’s IDPA.
Don’t forget a cleaning kit if you’re shooting on the second day. The problem with the Appleseed project is there is no time to correct problems or clean a dirty and fouled firearm. You have to wait until evening of the first day to clean.
For those of us that have been to one and know its value, can we do a weekly post or set up a ping list or something?
