The RWVA encourages kids to learn their history and heritage by allowing anyone age 20 and under to attend free. Likewise, women of any age attend free.

So, "Project Appleseed" is very family-friendly - only Dad pays, and Mom and the kids get in free...

Anyone with a military ID also shoots free.

Rifle marksmanship skills have been important in our nation's history. Like all traditions, this one included, these skills are dying out.

Part of the reason is a lack of knowledge - and thereby, appreciation - of our history and heritage.

The RWVA has crafted Project Appleseed to restore knowledge of an important part of our history - the events surrounding the very beginning of Liberty in our country - and to teach traditional skills which we allow to fade at our peril.

Appleseed began three years ago, with 18 events across the nation in 2006. It expanded to 47 events in 2007; 150+ events last year; and has a goal of 300 events nationwide, this year - and a projected goal of 600 for next year.

Appleseed is the nation's fastest growing history-teaching program - and the fastest growing rifle marksmanship program.

It is the fastest growing because Americans are flocking to Appleseeds to learn the skills and the heritage - and liking what they find, and promoting this all-volunteer program by word-of-mouth.

This year, we will greet the 10,000th "Appleseeder" to attend an Appleseed. If the program continues to grow at this pace, in 2012 we will greet the 100,000th Appleseeder.

The Revolutionary War Veterans Association is headquartered in North Carolina, and may be contacted at POB 756, Ramseur, NC 27316 or on-line at www.appleseedinfo.org. The website has more information about "what to bring" and "how to prepare for Appleseed".

The RWVA is a patriotic organization; any American who attends will be welcome. Handicapped/disabled are welcome, and we will work with you to overcome and adjust to your special needs.

Who is going to the Appleseeds in April?

This is a great opportunity to learn traditional rifle skills. If you already think you know it well enough, give it a try and come and get your rifleman patch.

It is a lot harder than it seems and learning and practicing these skills will teach you to shoot a man size target with iron sights at 500 yds.

Two days of shooting and learning is a lot of fun. This is a great opportunity for everyone.

I and family will be at South Bay Rod and Gun Club at 1020 Marron Valley Rd, Dulzura, CA on the 18th & 19th. This is a fantastic gathering, I hope all of you gunnies will join us for on this event.


Thanks for the post Leonidas.

Bring what you want. A 22 or a centerfire is fine. You will need about 400rds of ammo though. I shot 2 with my 5.56, and 2 with a 22.

Box mag is best, but bring what you have and it will do.
