Wait. Wait. Wait. Is that all it takes to get an invite to Clark? Kids? You can borrow mine to spoil and send home anytime! Clark and Tri-County are the 2 ranges I have yet to shoot at.

Took my little man to his first Project Appleseed event! I'm an Instructor in Training for the program, so I worked with him as well as the other instructors. He's going to give his mom a run for her money! His first experience shooting a Ruger 10/22 and he did very well for a 9 year old with a rifle a little too long for his short arms.

That's awesome!!

All my kids are out of the house. I guess I shouldn't sell my 10/22 if I want to do one of these events next year. @Joe13 what do you think. Next summer?

I really want to do an Appleseed event one of these days myself. I've got a Marlin 7000 I got set up for just such an event.

I think I'm going to get one of those kits for a AR15 to a 22 CCMC OR something like that makes them .so I can have a .22 RIFLE

See here is the deal. If I take you there it would spoil you for any other range and I just can't do that to a person so I will do you a favor and not invite you



J/K maybe someday your a long way from Clark aren't you.

Lets set one up brother. You, Joe and I can go. That would be fun.

Don't you worry you're pretty little head about how far I am from Clark, I've driven farther for less! As long as it's not an a Appleseed weekend, I'm down!

It's not that bad really, my indoor range is about an hour away and I'm there all the time.... just not much fun to shoot my rifles at 25 yards or indoor. And not enough shooting partners to go out to the forest as often as I'd like.

Sounds like a good idea. Maybe in the spring?

Awsom next time try this with them laying down no bent knee legs spread out to the side little bit more than shoulder toes pointed out .
Big toes on the ground this is kinda a natural thing to do bend one knee up but they will be more stable with legs extend toes pointed out View attachment 500442

So they way I was taught to shoot long range is to have the trigger side knee up. This gets your pelvis in contact with the ground on one side, and relieves pressure on the diaphragm. With less pressure on the diaphragm, you will notice a lot less movement in your sights, especially when shooting out 600+ meters.

By getting OFF your toes, it minimizes movement in your feet and legs, which again, translates to less movement in the sights. As for comfort? Yeah, it takes some stretching and practice to make those positions natural.

If you go watch videos of Wimbledon Shooting matches, where they shoot 1,000 yards, they have their legs pulled up, and ankles on the ground.

However, in all things, your mileage may vary...

Now with a BiPod, that changes things, and you are correct.

Let's go shoot sometime!
