Just got home from the Appleseed event this week at South Jersey Shooting Club. it was a really fun event, and while I still have a ton of improvement to make still, I learned a lot this weekend and made great improvement. I highly recommend everyone consider attending one of these. It really helps give you a good benchmark of your skill and where you can improve. If you have any questions about the event/what to expect, I'll be glad to share more details on my experince.

It's great you had a good time. I have been wanting to attend one of these for years but I have yet to get off my rump and go. What did you bring? how far did you shoot?

For this event a 25 meter firing line was used and we use Army Qualification Taragets (AQTs)most of the weekend besides some sighter targeys and the Appleseed "redcoat" targets. Depending on the group, they will set up known distance targets, but out of the 15 shooters in attendance only a few had been before so as a group we weren't ready. The AQT will simulates up to 400m. I shot my AR, everyone else had 22s....so everyone who was there knows exactly who I am (I had a few more bays between myself on the end and everyone else on the second day)

Appleseed is good at teaching the basics of rifle shooting. Their rifleman qualification is no joke. Shooting from standing, kneeling or sitting and then prone positions is challenging.

I couldn't agree more, I scored my AQTS and went from 89 on my first one of the weekend to 150 on my last, so still tons of room for improvement but it is a definite challenge and helps to develop a skill that most anyone who shoots (especially if they don't hunt, like me) will not realize they don't have if they don't force themselves get off the bench. Now I really have something to work towards for the next one. There is one coming up again in October at SJSC and I hope to attend that one as well

      The Tax Man Commeth

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
