So I'm ready to go for this weekend. Doing the Appleseed event up in Dunbarton, NH with my brother in-law. Very much looking forward to it. I had a couple questions for those who have attended appleseeds in the past.
First off, the BIL and I made it out to the range on Wed to sight in. While we were there we decided to do a practice AQT. We followed the rules for the AQT and did two rounds each, just for practice. Neither of use had our slings yet, so weren't using one. Question: Which part of the target counts for points. we printed off practice AQT targets. The full silhouette has a white outer section with 3, but the inner two sections were black, 4 & 5. We took our scores based off of the black only. I ended up with a 165 counting only the black area of the silhouette. Should we have been counting the white section of the silhouette as well?
I have two 10/22's, going to be bringing both. One I built up as a target build, bull barrel, custom trigger, target stock, nothing is stock. I have fun building things, rifles are no different. Its scoped with a 2x9. The 2nd rifle, only things I've changed is the BX-Trigger, a magpul stock and picked up tech sights specifically for this event. I've read that you can use scope or iron sights for appleseed. I fully intend on using the iron sights as I was punching a quarter with my scope at 25m. At these events do they limit the magnification if you're using a scope?
Also, for those who haven't shot SK Match .22 ammo. I have two comments, 1) Damn, are they greased up. Had a hard time loading the mags as they were so lubed up out of the box. 2) Very consistent ammo. Using it to sight in the rifle, it just kept punching consistent hits on target. Clean shoot, nothing really to clean up after. Quick wipe was all that was needed. Took shots out to 100yards, with iron sights and it rang the steel target every time. I don't have any hard data on how it shoots, just felt great and consistent.
Any advice for the Event, would gladly accept.
