 Greetings friends. This is Survival Doc. Today I'm reporting on a two-day marksmanship clinic that I just attended over the weekend and this marksmanship clinic is called Project Appleseed. It's sponsored by the Revolutionary War Veterans Association which was just formed in 2005 by a group of American Patriots who were concerned about the direction our country was headed in and they decided that there was something that they could do about it and what they decided to do was to combine marksmanship training with lectures on the Revolutionary War history of our Revolutionary War and people have forgotten about this war, forgotten about all the men and women who have given their lives so that we could enjoy the freedoms that we take for granted today and that we are losing rapidly today and one way that these people were able to overthrow tyranny so that we can enjoy the freedoms that we have is because they were they were able to take pick up arms and throw off the tyranny and so when you have an armed citizenry you have protection against tyranny in government and this is not an anti-government group. They are just concerned about educating Americans, teaching Americans history so they have an appreciation. The marksmanship clinic was absolutely fantastic. The training was first class. It only cost $70 for two days. Women is even less for women is $10 for two days and if you if you join the Revolutionary War Veterans Association for $20 a year you can continue to repeat the class until you can earn your rifleman badge and they say typically it takes three classes for the average person some more some less and I definitely intend to go back to this course and earn my rifleman badge which is an expert level rifleman using the Army qualification test but this is a 25 meter rimfire event for the most of these events are some are used so larger rifles but they simulate the range up to 400 yards 500 yards by you by using special targets and we set off a lot of rounds over 500 rounds and I'd hate to have to do that with my 308 with rimfire it's just just a nickel a cartridge is something that you that you can afford to practice with but I highly recommend this marksmanship clinic apple seed info.org I recommend you go to apple seed info.org they're taught in every state of the Union find where they're taught near you and sign up for a class and and get involved and let's take this Republic back this is survival doc reminding you be prepared or be prepared to be pleased some of the soldiers and officers who wrote the Memorances of that day you have to remember the countryside these roads that they're marching on meander through the hills cross over frequent streams and some of the folks that wrote about the day said when they looked up on the sides of the hills there were so many Colonials flocking towards them look like the hills were crawling with ants 14,000 men streaming in from the countryside converging on the Lexington one side determined as the coach that I've given them enough time to lose their NP away I'm gonna remove my hand and here's where it gets just a touch complicated if the shooter has his NP away he starts shooting and he has five seconds for every round so bang the coach one thousand one thousand two thousand three my bang start again one thousand one thousand two puts it all the way up into his armpit he brings his arm around the outside he grasps the rifle he pulls the butt straight down to lock it in do not neglect the step the step is important okay now he's going to lever the butt up into his pocket playing a snug elbows directly into the rifle firm handshake grip see shape trigger man this is starting sounds familiar isn't it it's a lot of the same stuff now whenever you're shooting if you cannot plant your trigger elbow chicken wing if you can't plant it on the ground or on your knee or something chicken wing this and you notice how I had him do the windmill that kind of accentuates the pocket and helps to get that rifle in the pocket now you will notice that he has brought the butt up to his cheek and not his cheek but what your elbow looks like is your instability and putting the ball on top of the ball not at all you're just going to roll all over place mean forward get that elbow in front of the knee that way when I give him some he's a weevil wobble he just comes right back to where he started from that's your recoil absorption system support elbow also in front of the knee hands trigger hand firm handshake grip hold that buttstock of your rifle back into your shoulder pocket the pockets not as pronounced now because the elbow is not as high as it was in the standing position but you still got a pocket there trigger finger does not trigger finger does not drag wood hook that in like a big seat all these are starting to sound familiar turkey neck drop your cheek down onto the stock of the rifle that a good cheek will consistency and stability and everything and once again getting down in this position think your way around your body I always I literally like to start with my forehand and I just mentally think around all these different city whole factors I walk my way around my body in my mind make sure I got everything right how would you adjust your in POA in this position let's say you had adjusted your windage your left and right the most the best way ever to strive is pick a cheek and scoot around it the best thing you can do in terms of adjusting your elevation you can spread your legs further out or bring them further in you can even depending upon the type of magazine you have you can move your support hand closer or further away if you don't have a fixed point for your own if you have any questions about the cross and find a place to your feet don't slip out from underneath you still key important get that flat part of your elbow and plunder the flat part of your knee on both your trigger elbow and your support elbow firm handshake grip trigger finger like a seat only touching the trigger turkey neck cheek well kneeling and the cover is even taller when the body just don't bend that way kneeling is an option this case what we want to have again man redundancy over and over again front happens a platform sling is snug now you can actually get your elbow underneath the rifle and you actually want this forearm and your knee and your leg to be adjust your elevation for your trigger foot you can do a couple different things he's got his toe bent under depending upon your ankle in the boots or whatever you're wearing you can flatten it out some people actually even twist it sideways
