Project Appleseed “Weeklong Rifle Marksmanship Course”

Project Appleseed is a nationwide program of The Revolutionary War Veterans Association, a non-profit educational organization operated by volunteer instructors dedicated to maintaining the ideals and traditions of the Founding generation of our country. Our volunteer instructors travel across the country teaching those who attend about the difficult choices, the heroic actions, and the sacrifices that the Founders made on behalf of modern Americans for our country’s freedom and independence. Project Appleseed teaches rifle marksmanship and the true story of Patriots’ Day, April 19th, 1775, the day of Paul Revere’s Ride in weekend clinics all over this great nation. They are also reminded of the marksmanship skills and masterful organization that ultimately helped set the colonists on the path to success. Those who attend gain a better understanding of the fundamental choices faced by our ancestors as they began to set the stage for the nation we now enjoy. A Project Appleseed Weeklong Rifle Marksmanship Course will be held on Jan. 28- Feb.2, 2018, at the Isaac Davis Memorial Range, in Wacissa, FL, just 20 miles west of Tallahassee, FL. The Isaac Davis Memorial Range (IDMR) near Tallahassee has a 400-yard range and is a great venue to camp, share dinner, and just enjoy the week with other rifle enthusiasts and be taught rifle marksmanship and the heritage of our country by great instructors. Participants are taught fundamental rifle marksmanship skills that are to allow a rifleman or riflewoman to be accurate out to 400 yards, with iron sights or a scope, a standard rifle and surplus ammo. Two rifles will be needed for the event, a .22 caliber rifle and a center-fire rifle of choice. Go 2.2 miles to range, which is first driveway on right past Broomsage Cemetary Road.

Project Appleseed‘s heritage program vividly portrays the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Modern listeners are confronted with the danger, the fear, and the heartbreaking separations that arose out of the choices made on April 19th, 1775.

Those who attend gain a better understanding of the fundamental choices faced by our ancestors as they began to set the stage for the nation we now enjoy.
