Garand69 Posted March 27, 2010 at 02:52 PM Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 at 02:52 PM Hey Dan, Is "The Guy" going to be there again this time? Are you taking Friday off early so you can come out & setup & play a lil bit? Saturday night there is a firemans stag we are all invited to if anyone is interested it is about 15 min away & there will be drawings for guns & stuff!!! The Guy, aka Chris, will be working Bonfield on Apr 17-18, according to scheduling. Myself, Mr. Naese and TC will be working Alton. John Awww man I liked Guy a lot, he was cool. I like him better than Dan!! :lips sealed: I see how it goes Kenny The Guy is great, but the SB we have is great as well. We imported a Shoot Boss from the land of cheese. He goes by "ahhshoot". Real good guy, most of his family are instructors as well (Ma, Pa, Wife). He is also one of the Instructors sent down to Fort Stewart GA last year to help train a full Battalion of the South Carolina National Gaurd before deployment to Afghanistan. So your Appleseed Experience will be top-notch!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashes Posted March 27, 2010 at 04:35 PM Share Posted March 27, 2010 at 04:35 PM To everyone who is going to be camping onsite at Durand for the Appleseed shoot in April: I'm pretty excited about this event because this will be my first time camping after a long long spell of not camping. Anyone want to send any reminders my way on what to bring? So far I have a good sleeping bag, air mattress, cot, old 1970s camp stove and some white gas also from 1970. I should have a tent by next week at which time I'll have it up in the back yard for seam sealing. Still looking for camping cookware, I may end up raiding the kitchen for old pots and pans. Probably will use paper plates and cups. I still have to prepare a menu for the weekend.. I can't believe I used to be a scout.. How did I fit all this stuff into the car? This is in addition to the normal junk I bring for an Appleseed, which include extra shoes, extra coat, raingear (emergency pants), firearms and related junk.

Chris Posted March 27, 2010 at 04:43 PM Share Posted March 27, 2010 at 04:43 PM I have one of my coleman stoves in the shed at the range along with a table that works well for cooking. I'll be bringing my coleman lantern and a bunch of cooking stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Posted March 27, 2010 at 05:07 PM Share Posted March 27, 2010 at 05:07 PM Dan is the other Cheesehead going to be there too? Andrew all you need is beer & a cooler for camping!! You don't have to cook it therefore you need no pots & pans & cooking stuff, It comes pre-packaged in a can so you don't need any kind of utensils or anything, If you drink enough of it the ground without a tent or a mattress or cot works fine for sleeping!!! Beer is a camping necessity!!!! There is a grill & grilling utensils out there & I think there is charcoal & lighter fluid too. You may want to bring some lighter fluid & charcoal just to be safe.

Dragonfly will not be there, but I'm trying to get his son there, he is out of Rockford and was there last time. Ashes, keep it simple, you don't need to bring the whole house with you!!!! Just be prepared for weather, especially rain! We have already determined that it will be all Kenny's fault, so everything else should be smooth!! Hey Kenny, we need a spring clean up party prior to the shoot?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyGuy Posted April 5, 2010 at 02:13 PM Share Posted April 5, 2010 at 02:13 PM I'm sorry if this was answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find the answer on the appleed website. What is the schedule for the event? I see a calendar listing the events, but what is the Saturday/Sunday schedule time wise. When does it start, break for lunch, end for the day, start the next day, break for lunch again, and finally end? I would appreciate the info. I am between Durand and the Waterman event.

Ashes Posted April 5, 2010 at 08:14 PM Share Posted April 5, 2010 at 08:14 PM The EventBrite page shows 8:30AM to 4PM each day. Use the EventBrite page to pre-register and save money! For Durand:http://www.eventbrite.com/event/493165070 Lunch happens around noon. Basically at a good break point when everyone starts getting hungry. People are usually eating during set breaks anyway. For Waterman:http://www.eventbrite.com/event/516382514%20%20%20%20%20%20%20 Try to get onsite early so you can get signed in, unpack and get a place on the line and read some of the handouts.

templar223 Posted April 6, 2010 at 02:12 AM Share Posted April 6, 2010 at 02:12 AM Makes me kind of glad I won't be working that Appleseed. On the other hand, shooting a .50 is on my bucket list. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashes Posted April 6, 2010 at 05:20 PM Share Posted April 6, 2010 at 05:20 PM Man, I really need to get a rifle. If you want to sign up for the Durand Appleseed, I have a spare .22 rifle that I can let you use. This way you can learn the basics before getting the rifle.

Buzzard Posted April 6, 2010 at 06:53 PM Share Posted April 6, 2010 at 06:53 PM Scope is fine. Try to get it setup with a sling, you will find that it will help. Bring more than one magazine if you can. Both scoped and open sight rifles? Can someone elaborate on this? Kenny. Is the Durand event at your grounds?

Kenny Posted April 6, 2010 at 11:07 PM Share Posted April 6, 2010 at 11:07 PM Man, I really need to get a rifle. I have a Ruger 10/22 for sale for $240, they are perfect for the appleseed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashes Posted April 7, 2010 at 02:51 AM Share Posted April 7, 2010 at 02:51 AM Both scoped and open sight rifles? Can someone elaborate on this? Either scoped or iron sights (adjustable sights are prefered so you can zero). Targets are reduced size and the actual distance is 25 meters.Make sure you can get a M1 Garand style cloth/nylon sling on the rifle and you will be good to go.

Crickey. Are 10/22s that much now. I bought mine - the first gun I ever bought - from Walmart when i was about 13. I think it came to $67 with tax. I made it a holy gun. I shot the heck out of it. So much, in fact, that I wore down the firing pin and had to replace it! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
