Schedule
October 18-19 – Known Distance Event – 500 Yards
Join us for 25M Rifle Marksmanship Clinic and History
Our most popular clinic is our traditional 25M Marksmanship clinic. Led by experienced instructors, you will learn the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship. You will develop the skills needed to hit your targets consistently with precision and accuracy. Our lessons include topics of rock-solid positions, sling use, effective dry fire, efficient sight adjustments, and more!
Our events are typically two-day programs that teach the rifle marksmanship skills that were once commonly practiced in America. Our instructors teach the skills that will one day allow a Rifleman to be accurate out to 500 yards. This distance is known as the traditional “Rifleman’s Quarter Mile” and has been part of America’s marksmanship repertoire since our country’s earliest days.
During breaks, you will hear true stories about the day the American Revolution began and changed the course of history. Learn about some of the real men and women that lived during those times and their unflinching bravery they showed fighting for the freedoms they held so dear. These stories will change the way you view marksmanship and liberty.
Whether you’ve never fired a rifle before or you’re an experienced competitive shooter, no one comes to a Project Appleseed event and leaves the same. Join us for marksmanship and history, learn new skills, make new friends and be a part of an inspiring and life-changing event.

Project Appleseed Celebrates 17th Year at Red Brush!
It has been 17 years since Project Appleseed began hosting classes at Red Brush. The first shoot had 157 participants and made the news, not only in Evansville but across the country. Please see the enclosed 2006 news article reprint “Gunning for tradition” from the local Evansville Courier and Press.
Every year thousands of people wanting to become more proficient with their rifles come to an Appleseed shoot. There they are taught safe handling, steady shooting positions, sling usage, the six steps of firing a shot, natural point of aim, and other skills necessary to hit standard size targets out to 500 yards. All this is done in a family-friendly, all-ages-welcomed manner without a ‘boot camp’ attitude.
But even more important than the marksmanship training, participants are exposed to stories of our country’s founders and the sacrifices they made on April 19, 1775 at Lexington and Concord. The events of this day set the colonies on a course to become the United States of America. This history, which once was a staple of grade, middle, and high school curriculum, is barely touched upon in public schools these days!
