Letter Re: A Distaff Prepper’s Comments on an Appleseed Shooting Weekend

Mr. Editor,
I just wanted to let you know I attended my first RWVA Appleseed shoot last weekend and it was a great experience. I found them from their link on SurvivalBlog.

I learned how to use a sling and fire from different positions, among other things, and over all improved my mastery of my rifle.

It was well worth my time for the weekend and I will be attending another one in a couple of months.

Another nice feature of the Appleseed program is ‘women shoot free’ ! So husbands can bring their wives (children shoot free too, up to a certain age but you will need to check out the site to get the specifics, as do military members).

Women can attend these events alone and yet still shoot free of charge!

The instructors were great and they not only taught shooting but also the history of the American Revolution.

Even if you are already a ‘good shot’ there is much to learn at an Appleseed weekend. – Paulette
