Led by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/appleseedinfo.org\/our-instructors\/\">experienced instructors<\/a>, 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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/appleseedinfo.org\/known-distance\/\">Rifleman\u2019s Quarter Mile<\/a>\u201d and has been part of America\u2019s marksmanship repertoire since our country\u2019s earliest days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019ve never fired a rifle before or you\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about how to prepare, download our quick guide,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/appleseedinfo.org\/pdf\/How%20to%20Prepare%20-%2025m%20Rifle.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Traditional 25m Rifle Clinic<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For full pricing information, visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/appleseedinfo.org\/pricing-information\/\"><u>pricing<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For information on what to bring, please see: <a href=\"https:\/\/appleseedinfo.org\/pdf\/How%20to%20Prepare%20-%2025m%20Rifle.pdf\">How to Prepare<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To register for this event, please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/appleseedinfo.org\/schedule\/?qstate=IN&amp;state=Indiana\">https:\/\/appleseedinfo.org\/schedule\/?qstate=IN&amp;state=Indiana<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Project Appleseed Celebrates 17<sup>th<\/sup> Year at Red Brush!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been 17 years since Project Appleseed began hosting classes at Red Brush.&nbsp; The first shoot had 157 participants and made the news, not only in Evansville but across the country.&nbsp; Please see the enclosed 2006 news article reprint \u201cGunning for tradition\u201d from the local Evansville Courier and Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year thousands of people wanting to become more proficient with their rifles come to an Appleseed shoot.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; All this is done in a family-friendly, all-ages-welcomed manner without a \u2018boot camp\u2019 attitude.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even more important than the marksmanship training, participants are exposed to stories of our country\u2019s founders and the sacrifices they made on April 19, 1775 &nbsp;at Lexington and Concord. The events of this day set the colonies on a course to become the United States of America.&nbsp; This history, which once was a staple of grade, middle, and high school curriculum, is barely touched upon in public schools these days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information on these programs and how to register for an event can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.appleseedinfo.org\">www.appleseedinfo.org<\/a>.&nbsp; And to see what it is like to participate in an Appleseed shoot, see this write up by noted firearms expert Massad Ayoob in Backwoods Home magazine: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/the-appleseed-project\/\">https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/the-appleseed-project\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions about attending an Appleseed event, please email Appleseeed Instructor Ben Swartz at webmaster@redbrush.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"803\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/redbrush.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-803x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-841\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redbrush.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-803x1024.png 803w, https:\/\/redbrush.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-235x300.png 235w, https:\/\/redbrush.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-768x979.png 768w, https:\/\/redbrush.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image.png 1093w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 803px) 100vw, 803px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Schedule April 18-19 &#8211; 25 meter May 16-17 &#8211; Known Distance Event &#8211; 500 yards September 19-20 &#8211; 25 meter&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":836,"parent":54,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-129","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/redbrush.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/redbrush.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/redbrush.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redbrush.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redbrush.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=129"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/redbrush.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1275,"href":"https:\/\/redbrush.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/129\/revisions\/1275"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redbrush.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/54"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redbrush.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/redbrush.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
