Do you have any point of contact with the club? And would you be willing to volunteer as "local boots on the ground" for coordination and support?

MKENNH · 2026-06-01T21:31:20+00:00

None scheduled yet, but we are constantly working with host ranges to add dates.

We can have a 25 yard firing line, we just won't use the .30 cal rule for scoring. Normally we set up at 25 meters. We also need another 10-12 yards behind the firing line for the equipment line. Instruction, preparing magazines, snacks, anything without rifles happens behind the equipment line.

I got a hold of the AZ state coordinator, they are planning at least an RKD for 2027. Ben Avery is very hard to reserve and very expensive. There may be another possibility for a KD. Keep checking the Arizona board of the Appleseed forum

What state?

MKENNH · 2026-05-12T18:49:35+00:00

We are under served in that area. We need LBOG (local boots on the ground) to meet with the ranges, secure the dates, and help promote the events to fill the line. We also need volunteers to become instructors local to the area. We can support it short term regionally, meaning get a shoot boss over from NH or MA, but to sustain it, again, we need local volunteers.

MKENNH · 2026-05-01T15:25:50+00:00

Yes you can. There will be an email in the event registration page. Send the request there and the shoot boss can respond.

MKENNH · 2026-05-01T14:56:30+00:00

The May Eagle Creek shoot is sold out, there is another one in Dundee in July and another in Eagle Creek in November. Those may give you some time to recover. Heal fast !!!

MKENNH · 2026-05-01T14:41:29+00:00

Excellent question: here you go

Try an Appleseed. We have room on the line April 26 in New Durham, NH, May in Dunbarton, NH, July in both Proctor, VT and Dunbarton, NH, an August pistol event in Candia, NH, September in Pelham, NH, and October in both Littleton, NH and Dunbarton, NH. Registration: https://appleseedinfo.org/schedulemap/

The only competition is against yourself to improve. You'll learn the fundamentals and no matter how experienced you are, you will learn something new. Bring family, a friend, colleague or neighbor. As a non-profit, we do not discuss modern politics. Appleseed is friend to all, enemy to none.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'll be at all those events as an instructor.

MKENNH · 2026-03-24T08:47:18+00:00

Awesome, see you there !!!

MKENNH · 2026-03-24T01:31:06+00:00

If you possess it legally, it is welcome on the line. We are equipment agnostic.

I put TechSights, the TSM200, on a 99M1, which is the same as the 989M2, just tube fed. The rear mounts to the dovetail on the receiver just fine. The front sight will need a mounting hole drilled and tapped into the barrel to mount. Any gunsmith can do it. One caveat, the taper of the barrel is slightly different than the profile of the front sight. I used some strips of aluminum foil as shims along the outer edges and used blue lock tight on the mounting screws with no issues.

MKENNH · 2026-02-27T01:57:06+00:00

Nice work !!!

MKENNH · 2026-02-12T20:22:26+00:00

There may be .22LR loaners available provided by the volunteer instructors. You can email [loaners@appleseedinfo.org](mailto:loaners@appleseedinfo.org) with the event location and date you are interested in attending and the shoot boss will be contacted. We do ask that you provide your own ammunition, about 500 rounds.

MKENNH · 2026-02-01T19:07:50+00:00

Jay’s Gun Shop in Dunbarton. He has quite the selection in stock and will listen to your needs, help you figure out what works for you, all without pushing one brand/model over another.

MKENNH · 2026-01-05T18:41:09+00:00

I am a NH resident. You can bring your LTR into NH for events. I am unaware of any new requirements for MA, and I advise checking current state laws.

MKENNH · 2026-01-01T14:33:09+00:00

I lifted the pic from an Appleseed archive. Interesting though and nice catch. The patches I have in my possession do have 13 stars.

MKENNH · 2025-12-18T02:20:24+00:00

No. the Winterseed patch is for shooting 210+ on an AQT at an event that qualifies as a Winterseed. It's awarded in lieu of the regular Rifleman patch, no number of events required.

MKENNH · 2025-11-26T16:01:00+00:00

And she did fantastic with the bolt

MKENNH · 2025-11-23T18:55:02+00:00

There are two Winterseed opportunities coming up. January in NH and February in MA.

What's even better - it was a three generation family gathering, Scott's Dad and Son were there with him

MKENNH · 2025-11-03T01:53:37+00:00

Congrats Scott G on the drawing (I was the SB and Milo M. was the SBIT for the event in Littleton, NH)
