Recently I learned of Appleseedinfo.org. It is a nonprofit organization that brings history and riflemanship together. It is sponsored by the American Revolutionary War Veterans Association and classes are held all over the US. It is an intense 2 day training. We went out to observe and possibly participate.
It was held on some private land that was an old homestead.
All the kids got free shirts.
Jacob was the only one that was really interested. The other two boys and I hung around for the 'history' lesson at lunch time. Very interesting and lots of facts about Hancock, Adams, Revere, etc.
They shot many, many rounds and learned about safety, sighting, yardage, wind, chambering, etc.
He had his safety goggles and ear protection in.
All of his groups of 5 shots were pretty consistent. I think they finally got the sights correct.
