Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

First off please like and share our new FB page to spread the word https://www.facebook.com/ProjectApplese ... nia?ref=hl

Here's the link to the current Virginia schedule http://appleseedinfo.org/search-states- ... e=Virginia

What is Project Appleseed? We teach traditional rifle marksmanship, early American heritage, and promote civic responsibility.

We teach a course of instruction using techniques that only the USMC still teaches. You'll learn position shooting (Standing, Seated/Kneeling, Prone) using only a sling for support and iron sights (optics welcome). You'll be able to apply these techniques out to 500 yards with 4 MOA accuracy if you earn the coveted Rifleman Patch (= Expert score on service qualification tests).

We'll have at least one event per month in 2015 somewhere in the state. Currently on the schedule is Virginia Beach in Jan, Feb, and April. We've already got two events scheduled at the NRA Headquarters and one event in Lynchburg. We'll be adding events for Charlottesville, Mechanicsville, and Montpelier as the ranges solidify their 2015 calendars. We're also working a few places in NorVa and always looking for any leads in the western part of the state.

Thanks for posting, and...

Welcome to VGOF!

Hey ALHMDO!
I earned my patch at the Dec 6/7 Mechanicsville event. Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Widefat congrats again on earning your rifleman! We had some tough weather conditions there. I'm curious to see how the January and February events end up.

Spread the Appleseed message and take an orange hat if you can. We always need fresh instructors.

Welcome, and thanks for what you do!

Project Appleseed is FREE for all Active Duty Military, Reserve, Guard, LEO, Disabled, and Elected Officials!

The Cotton G.I. Web Sling! Its not the only sling you can use, but there are clear reasons its the only one we recommend. It does everything you need a rifle sling to do and nothing you don't.

It doesn't slip like the Nylon versions
It adjusts easier and faster than a 1907 leather sling
It will fit any rifle you own

Don't have one? Pick one up at the Appleseed store or if you're out of time don't fret. We ALWAYS have loaners available for use.

Less than 24 hours until online registration closes for this weekends event at the C2 Shooting Center. https://www.facebook.com/events/361045830732235/

31 Americans have signed up in search of that elusive 210 score on the Army Qualification Test to earn their coveted Rifleman's patch. Only 9 spots remain!

If you're unable or miss out this weekend, don't fret. We're doing it all over again at C2 on February 21st and 22nd. https://www.facebook.com/events/1515233925427399/

When and where was the American Revolution won? The answer will likely surprise you. Join Project Appleseed - Virginia this weekend to hear the truth about YOUR Heritage.

So, you watched THE SONS OF LIBERTY on the History Channel right?

If you visit their web page you'll see this... "SONS OF LIBERTY is a dramatic interpretation of events that sparked a revolution. It is historical fiction, not a documentary..."

If you invested six hours of time to watch historical fiction as I did, then I ask you spend 90 minutes watching historical FACT. The truth needs no dramatization...
