Here’s my 2 cents worth. Project Appleseed’...Keads,<br />Here’s my 2 cents worth. Project Appleseed’s courses of fire are all laid out in such a manner that a .22 LR is more than sufficient. Given you’ll be working on foundational skill sets with a rifle I would recommend a good set of aperture sights on a 10/22, S&W 15-22 or your Colt – Walther. Then factor in a good ground cloth (tarp) and pad (outdoor sleeping pad), binoculars or spotting scope and an adjustable sling. If I chose to go with a centerfire it would either be a 223 (AR-15 or Mini 14) or a .308 (M1A or FN/FAL). <br />Now as to your rifle selection, zero your scope and stay with the same power setting throughout the course if it’s a variable power scope. Refer to the above paragraph for equipment, add sunscreen, a hat sunglasses and hearing protection. Also, take a good cleaning kit and basic gunsmithing tools for unexpected problems. Take along a positive attitude and determination to have a good time and you’ll have a great training session.Sport Pilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862280966739841769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5503493157036177130.post-1856633163029412882012-03-12T21:53:44.019-07:002012-03-12T21:53:44.019-07:00A really GOOD pad to lay on!
Some sunscreen, a goo...A really GOOD pad to lay on!<br />Some sunscreen, a good boonie hat, plenty of water or juice, some snacks, and (I know I don't need to tell YOU this!) a good attitude.<br />Oh, and if you're an old guy like me?<br />Some liniment!<br />I like Tiger Balm, and Atom Balm for those reeeeally tough days!<br />Have fun! I probably won't get to go until after the July launch mission I'm scheduled to go on.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5503493157036177130.post-50775547148659482922012-03-12T20:46:00.756-07:002012-03-12T20:46:00.756-07:00I'm sure you've already seen this, but in ...I'm sure you've already seen this, but in case you missed it, here's a link to the Appleseed "what to bring" page. super helpful.

What he...I don't really know what else to say. What help do you need? Some advanced help on shooting the rifles, or just other stuff to bring? On the stuff, I would recommend some kind of way to hold spare rounds in a readily accessible manner. For hunting, I like a stock ammo holder with a clip cover so the rounds don't slide out. They also make ammo holders that fit on your forearm like braces or even an ammo box with a lid that you can put 50 rounds in and pull them out as you need them without having to fight those silly plastic holders. Um, other than that exhale and pause, then squeeze. Maybe dry-fire the rifles to get used to the trigger before the trip. I'm a pot of suggestions, but I'll stop now.45erhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05397455410329074837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5503493157036177130.post-58242320113955941992012-03-12T18:58:10.502-07:002012-03-12T18:58:10.502-07:00.243 ?
