Project Appleseed is coming to Pensacola, FL ESCAMBIA RIVER GUN CLUB 2-Day Rifle Marksmanship Clinic.  The Shoot start at 08:30. Please arrive early to allow time for set up and sign in.

​

The Appleseed Program is designed to take you from simply being a rifle owner to being a true Rifleman. All throughout American history, the Rifleman has been defined as a marksman capable of hitting targets from 500 yards away! This 500-yard range is traditionally known as “the rifleman’s quarter-mile.” A rifleman can hit just about any target he can see.
