Sharpshooter
10ring & I are thinking about going. I've posted on the Indiana Appleseed facebook page about it a couple times. I'm not sure which one of you Hat wearing instructors monitor that page but you know I have one of YHJ's rifleman books.
I'm hoping to firm up some plans this week.
I can't see all the pics and links above due to web filtering @ the office. Could someone give me a better idea on start/stop times? Course of fire? Round count? I might want to try a bolt action iron sight gun. I'm not sure yet.
That info will give me a better idea what gun(s) & ammo to bring. Thank you!
I will just copy and paste the info page for you.
