Check out Project Appleseed when you have a chance. It's a two day
marksmanship course tied in with history lessons specifically from the battle
of Lexington and Conchord. If you never shot a rifle, they bring spares and y
ou are the best candidate for training, and if you have shot, it's still good
training. You'll learn to shoot with a rifle sling while standing, kneeling,
and prone at 25 yards, and later stages include shooting at smaller scaled
targets to simulate shooting at longer distances. One cool target is a
Morgan's Shingle, which is the size of a postage stamp to recreate the size
of a head at 250 yards when hung at 25 yards. Captain Daniel Morgan was
given command of two rifle companies supporting General Washington, and a
pre-requisite to join was one chance to hit a wooden roofing shingle the size
of an officer's head.
