Appleseed Rimfire Known Distance, A Target too Far?

27OctoberEnglish BobAppleseed, Shooting Stories

After my success in June, I decided it was time to stretch my wings a bit. Appleseed also offers a Rimfire Known Distance (RKD) Clinic, and this one was shot all the way out to 200 yards! While a standard Appleseed focuses on the AQT (Army Qualification Test) simulated at 25 meters, the RKD event

I want to Ring Steel at a Mile!

10SeptemberEnglish BobShooting Stories

I’m not entirely sure why, but a few months back I got a sudden urge to ring steel… at one mile! Did I have anyting in the cabinet capable of doing that? Probably not. Actually, let’s be honest—definitely not! Could a 5.56 round accurately travel that far? I had my doubts, but I pulled out

The Path to Rifleman: Success at Sacramento Valley

13JuneEnglish BobAppleseed, Shooting Stories

With my new 10/22 build finally zeroed and cycling perfectly, I kicked off Saturday at 4:00 AM, heading north toward the Sacramento Valley Shooting Center. This was my third Appleseed in four months. My previous outings had peaked at a frustrating 207—missing the patch by a literal eighth of an inch. I’d spent the last

Adding a Scope, or how I ended up with a new 10/22 Liberty Training Rifle!

25MayEnglish BobAppleseed, Maintenance, Shooting Stories

So, as I started prepping for my next Appleseed clinic in a couple of months, I got to thinking about mounting a scope to my Sporter. But I really love that classic wood-stock-and-iron-sights look, and I couldn’t bring myself to mess with it. Instead, I cashed in all my saved store points at the big-box

My Second Rifle Clinic with Project Appleseed!

19MayEnglish BobAppleseed, Shooting Stories

My second Appleseed was essentially a repeat of the first, though with a much larger class this time around. Saturday was dedicated to the grind of learning and dialing in the rifles, so we didn’t actually make it to an AQT. That said, I managed to clear the 200 and 300-yard targets on the Known

Appleseed Rifle Clinic (25M) After Action Report

9AprilEnglish BobAppleseed, Shooting Stories

Here’s the after-action report for my first Project Appleseed event—a two-day rifle clinic at the Sacramento Valley Shooting Center last weekend. This was my introduction to the Appleseed experience, and man, what a ride. I’ve shot competitively in the past, though we’re talking 35-plus years ago, and my body was clearly not prepared for the

Gearing up for a Project Appleseed shoot!

8JanuaryEnglish BobAppleseed, Shooting Stories

A few buddies have been nudging me toward an Appleseed clinic for a while now. It’s a two-day deep dive into the bread and butter of marksmanship—traditional positional shooting and the fundamentals of every shot. For those who haven’t heard of them, they’re a national non-profit run by the Revolutionary War Veterans Association. Most of

A New Chapter: The American Dream and My First 9mm

20SeptemberEnglish BobShooting Stories

In 2001, I made the move to the USA. I actually found myself on my honeymoon during the events of 9/11, a time that—despite the tragedy—only made me fall deeper in love with my new home. I eventually became a proud US citizen in 2014, and by 2017, my American wife, Anna, decided it was
