http://appleseedinfo.org/search-states.htmlI'm already proficient with my weapons, but there is no way to be too good with them. I plan to attend this when they come to my town. If you are completely new to rifles or want to get better with them, this is the best way to do it for the money involved. I don't know if they have rifles that you can borrow or rent. I suspect not. That's not an obstacle though. If you know somebody that would let you borrow one you are in business. Better yet, you could offer to cover their admission charge if they share their rifle with you. It doesn't need to be an impressive rifle either. They say you can bring a .22 rimfire or a scoped, centerfire rifle or anything in between. This is quality training on the cheap. Something tells me this won't be available much longer the way things are going in this country. If you have been putting off a rifle purchase on the grounds that you aren't familiar with them, then you can have your cake and eat it too. Buy the rifle (I can advise on this if you send me a PM - response guaranteed) and then invest a negligable amount of money in high quality training in it's use. It will be like a package deal. Imagine buying a new car and for a few bucks extra you can have a professional NASCAR race driver teach you how to get the maximum performance out of it. That's the opportunity you have here.
p.s. Here's a free tip: At long range the two most important skills don't relate directly to firing the rifle, it's being able to read the wind and know what effect it will have on the bullet at the moment you pull the trigger, and being able to accurately estimate the ballistic range to the target. There is a difference between range and ballistic range. PM me if you want to know more about it.
