To successfully run this blog I need a way of assessing my rifle skills in a repeatable manner.
It also has to be applicable to the readers of this blog since not everyone has access to a 600 yard range.
What is needed is a 25 meter qualification target set up to simulate a variety of distances and to also reliably deliver a score to evaluate progress.
Ideally it will be something that can be printed easily on one or more sheets of paper with instructions.
I am currently searching for a target that will fill this role. I would like to use the Appleseed targets, but they seem to be hard to obtain at times.
If you are wondering what an Appleseed target is, check out the Appleseed program here.
I fully intend to review an Appleseed shoot in the future so stay tuned.
When I find what I am looking for, I will let you guys know.

Thanks for those resources!
Just go to an Appleseed event one weekend and I promise you will have a ball! Not only will you shoot a lot but you will learn things that you had been compensating for and didn’t realize, why and how things work, and the best part is you get to meet people you would not have in any other way. I have been to two Appleseed events my self, scored rifleman both times, once with an ar in the a4 config. And the second with an m1a and can say I learned a lot.
