Traditional 25m Appleseed Rifle Marksmanship Event

Our events are typically two-day programs that teach the rifle marksmanship skills that were once commonly practiced in America. Our Instructors put in nearly 200 hours of training so they can 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, we’ll tell you the true story of the earliest days of our nation, including the detailed events of April 19, 1775. You may be surprised by what you hear.

Whether you’ve never fired a rifle before or you’re already a competitive shooter, no one who comes to a Project Appleseed event ever leaves the same. The new skills, history, and friendships are inspiring and life-changing.

Project Appleseed is returning to the Flagler Gun Club for a full weekend of rifle marksmanship and American heritage on February 17 - 18, 2024.
Skilled Marksmanship: An American Tradition
You can’t write the story of America without including several chapters about the skill and bravery of our forefathers. On April 19, 1775, at Lexington and Concord, American colonists stood with muskets in hand and faced down the British army forces that were trying to seize their arms. The colonists did it with grit, determination, and superior marksmanship. They were real marksmen: nobly and ably putting their skills on the line in pursuit of Lady Liberty.
We are the descendants of those fearless men and women who earned our liberty on the battlefield. We honor their pursuit of liberty by passing along the skills and knowledge that aided them in securing it. Today’s Rifleman understands that owning and mastering a rifle is part of his/her American heritage. Whether you’re a new shooter or a seasoned marksman, Project Appleseed can help transform you from a person with a rifle into a principled and skilled Rifleman.
Our nationwide, all volunteer program (the primary activity of the RWVA, a qualified 501 (c) 3 public charity organization), endeavors to take rifle owners and make them into Riflemen by teaching the essential elements of marksmanship in a safe, family-friendly environment. Historically, an American rifleman could consistently hit a 20” target all the way out to 500 yards using standard rack grade centerfire rifle and factory ammo and employing no artificial supports other than a sling.
We teach both the use of iron sights as well as scopes and any standard caliber rifle permitted at Flagler Gun Club is acceptable. .22’s are popular due to the relatively inexpensive ammo and minimal noise and recoil. By using reduced scale targets, initial instruction and practice is done at 25 meters, which means less time walking back and forth from the target line to the firing line. Subjects covered include firearms safety, attaining rock-solid field positions (prone, seated, kneeling, standing) using skeletal support aided with a shooting sling, finding and employing your Natural Point of Aim (NPOA) to facilitate precise rapid-fire shooting on multiple targets, and the Six Steps to firing a shot. Other elements covered are sight adjustments using minutes of angle, proper fitting of your rifle, transitions and reloads under time pressure, Rifleman’s Cadence in rapid fire, target detection, ranging, wind compensation, and much more. Our Instructors put in nearly 200 hours of training so they can teach the skills that if practiced will one day allow a Rifleman to be accurate out to 500 yards. The teaching methods used have been proven for generations of riflemen and Project Appleseed instructors are some of the best in the business, adhering to standards rarely equaled in the shooting world. 
This particular event will be a “low-round count” event which will focus on refining techniques with dry-practice before significant live fire.
We have had some mature and responsible 8-year-old students and the most experienced shooter was in his late 70’s.  If you have a physical limitation we can, and will, adapt the materials to allow you to participate as fully as you wish.
The marksmanship program is first-class but many students say that the history and heritage, which is also part of an Appleseed event, is memorable, entertaining, and inspiring. During the course of the weekend, well researched stories of the early days of our Revolutionary War are passionately told by the instructors to reconnect ordinary Americans with their extraordinary heritage. We focus on the events surrounding April 19, 1775. [if you cannot make out in February, we will back to Flagler Gun Club in 2024 on April 20-22, October 19-20, and December 7-8].
Whether you come for the marksmanship, the history, or both, you will leave the event a safer, more capable shooter with a greater understanding of and appreciation for the brave men and women who helped form our country. New shooter or old pro, Appleseed will help make you better.
Pricing remains reasonable for a full two days of instruction and shooting:

 
There is a $10 per day Range Fee to Flagler Gun Club for non-members, $7.50 per day for members and no Range Fee for persons under 18.

Basic Pistol/CCW Class - Normally offered on the 4th Saturday of the month - 1-5 PM.

As of June 1, 2023, a Florida issued Concealed Weapons Permit is no longer required to carry a concealed pistol in Florida. It is required, however, for a Florida resident to legally carry a pistol in the currently 37 other states who have reciprocity agreements with Florida. The course also contains information and experience valuable for both new and experienced shooters. A Florida Concealed Weapons Permit will also preclude the 3-day Florida waiting period required to take possession of a firearm.

The Basic Pistol/Concealed Carry Class is offered monthly, taught by certified NRA Instructors with years of experience. It covers the function, design, selection, and use of pistols, revolvers, and ammunition, along with safe gun handling, and basic shooting skills such as sight picture, trigger control, stance, and grip.  You will also receive hands-on live-fire instruction on the range.  If you are a beginning shooter, bring your .22 LR pistol and ammunition for this class, and bring the handgun you intend to carry, with ammunition. Also, bring any accessories and handbooks for all equipment. If you do not have a handgun, we will provide one if requested prior to the course.
 
If you are an experienced shooter, just bring your carry gun and ammunition. A .22 LR pistol is optional for experienced shooters. The range portion of the course will be conducted on a covered outdoor firing line. Dress appropriately, including shoes that completely cover the feet. Ear and eye protection is required on all ranges.

The class is free to members during their first six months; the cost for guests and non-members is $60 in cash or check payable at the class. Class size limited to 8 students. The class is usually offered on the fourth Saturday of the month, other than on holidays. Check the FG&AC calendar to confirm the date, and note any changes.

The class begins at 1 PM in the Trap Field building and concludes at the pistol range, at approximately 5 PM. Arrive by 12:45 PM to complete enrollment before class.

Please note that while this course contains the basics necessary to safely carry and use a pistol, and uses materials taken from the NRA pistol course, it does not include all the topics and activities to completely meet the official NRA Pistol Course requirements. The official NRA Pistol Course will periodically be offered at the FG&AC, will be listed on the club calendar, and members will be notified accordingly.

To REGISTER and reserve your seat,  email education@flaglergunclub.com,  along with a copy of the front of your driver's license to ensure accuracy in issuing the certificate of completion.

Traditional 25m Appleseed Rifle Marksmanship Event

Our events are typically two-day programs that teach the rifle marksmanship skills that were once commonly practiced in America. Our Instructors put in nearly 200 hours of training so they can 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, we’ll tell you the true story of the earliest days of our nation, including the detailed events of April 19, 1775. You may be surprised by what you hear.

Whether you’ve never fired a rifle before or you’re already a competitive shooter, no one who comes to a Project Appleseed event ever leaves the same. The new skills, history, and friendships are inspiring and life-changing.

Project Appleseed is returning to the Flagler Gun Club for a full weekend of rifle marksmanship and American heritage on February 17 - 18, 2024.
Skilled Marksmanship: An American Tradition
You can’t write the story of America without including several chapters about the skill and bravery of our forefathers. On April 19, 1775, at Lexington and Concord, American colonists stood with muskets in hand and faced down the British army forces that were trying to seize their arms. The colonists did it with grit, determination, and superior marksmanship. They were real marksmen: nobly and ably putting their skills on the line in pursuit of Lady Liberty.
We are the descendants of those fearless men and women who earned our liberty on the battlefield. We honor their pursuit of liberty by passing along the skills and knowledge that aided them in securing it. Today’s Rifleman understands that owning and mastering a rifle is part of his/her American heritage. Whether you’re a new shooter or a seasoned marksman, Project Appleseed can help transform you from a person with a rifle into a principled and skilled Rifleman.
Our nationwide, all volunteer program (the primary activity of the RWVA, a qualified 501 (c) 3 public charity organization), endeavors to take rifle owners and make them into Riflemen by teaching the essential elements of marksmanship in a safe, family-friendly environment. Historically, an American rifleman could consistently hit a 20” target all the way out to 500 yards using standard rack grade centerfire rifle and factory ammo and employing no artificial supports other than a sling.
We teach both the use of iron sights as well as scopes and any standard caliber rifle permitted at Flagler Gun Club is acceptable. .22’s are popular due to the relatively inexpensive ammo and minimal noise and recoil. By using reduced scale targets, initial instruction and practice is done at 25 meters, which means less time walking back and forth from the target line to the firing line. Subjects covered include firearms safety, attaining rock-solid field positions (prone, seated, kneeling, standing) using skeletal support aided with a shooting sling, finding and employing your Natural Point of Aim (NPOA) to facilitate precise rapid-fire shooting on multiple targets, and the Six Steps to firing a shot. Other elements covered are sight adjustments using minutes of angle, proper fitting of your rifle, transitions and reloads under time pressure, Rifleman’s Cadence in rapid fire, target detection, ranging, wind compensation, and much more. Our Instructors put in nearly 200 hours of training so they can teach the skills that if practiced will one day allow a Rifleman to be accurate out to 500 yards. The teaching methods used have been proven for generations of riflemen and Project Appleseed instructors are some of the best in the business, adhering to standards rarely equaled in the shooting world. 
This particular event will be a “low-round count” event which will focus on refining techniques with dry-practice before significant live fire.
We have had some mature and responsible 8-year-old students and the most experienced shooter was in his late 70’s.  If you have a physical limitation we can, and will, adapt the materials to allow you to participate as fully as you wish.
The marksmanship program is first-class but many students say that the history and heritage, which is also part of an Appleseed event, is memorable, entertaining, and inspiring. During the course of the weekend, well researched stories of the early days of our Revolutionary War are passionately told by the instructors to reconnect ordinary Americans with their extraordinary heritage. We focus on the events surrounding April 19, 1775. [if you cannot make out in February, we will back to Flagler Gun Club in 2024 on April 20-22, October 19-20, and December 7-8].
Whether you come for the marksmanship, the history, or both, you will leave the event a safer, more capable shooter with a greater understanding of and appreciation for the brave men and women who helped form our country. New shooter or old pro, Appleseed will help make you better.
Pricing remains reasonable for a full two days of instruction and shooting:

 
There is a $10 per day Range Fee to Flagler Gun Club for non-members, $7.50 per day for members and no Range Fee for persons under 18.
