You'll love it! This will be my second.
I'm hoping for good weather as well. Cross your fingers!
Is this something I can do with a single shot .22? Someone said the shooting times are tight, do I need a semi-auto?
40 rounds in 4 minutes while transitioning from standing to sitting to prone. I wouldn't be able to do it with a single shot.
Pick up a 10/22, that's what I did.
Well... you CAN learn to shoot with a single shot. However, you don't have a prayer of finishing an AQT in the time allotted with a single shot. And the AQT is how we measure your progress.
I'd follow Ed Morse's advice - pick up a semi auto, and equip it with some sort of peep sights (click-adjustable - Tech-Sights are a great brand), a sling, and enough magazines for 40 rounds. Many folks get a Ruger 10/22 and turn it into a Liberty Training Rifle - directions are in this subforum. Search for LTR.
Just to elaborate - if a single-shot is all you have, and you want to use it, we will work with you on it - you do not HAVE to buy anything! You just may not be very happy using it, though!
If the shooter does not cherish his weapon and feel sensual pleasure in handling it, it is unlikely that he will ever make it perform as efficiently as it can.

I think I can get a semi auto from my father or uncle for the weekend. I'm trying to avoid buying yet another firearm as I just picked up a .308 bolt gun. Thanks for the info
Any reason to buy is a good reason to me.
...just signed on for this. This will be Appleseed #1. I'm hoping to learn as much as I can as I have never had any training with the long guns at all. My 10/22 sporter with peep sights and sling I added will be in hand.
Just dropped $200 on gear at Dicks. I know we all agreed not to use them, but don't worry, I buy my guns and ammo at local stores. This was a generic gear purchase. It's unbelievable how much you can spend on totally random crap.
Got
- open finger gloves
- bean bag to rest rifle on
- another soft rifle case
- sling
- swivels
- another set of rings (I hate the ones I have now)
- 2 more ruger mags
- shooting mat (one of those mats you put under a sleeping bag)
