AQT= Armed Forces Qualification Test

4MOA= 4 "Minutes Of Angle" (1 MOA is 1" group at 100yds, 4 MOA is 4'' at 100yds)

NWI= Northwestern Indiana

Ahhhh...thanks! This place has more TLA's than I can keep up with.

Thanks, c3. Good tips all around.

Shooting at Atterburry is a exceptionally good time. I do not know if any of this will apply, but from shooting at Atterburry you may wish to consider the following.

All outstanding advice, good for Atterbury, good for any Appleseed as well. Thanks for posting it!

AQT = Whole lotta fun with a shooting iron. A lot tougher than popping cans with your buddies. You will learn what you are about when you start chasing that 250 score.

4MOA = A ridiculously huge group if you believe magazine writers. An elusive thing to achieve if you expect to do it every single time you go to the range. Learning to do it every time, is what we teach.

NWI = A cold dark place that always precipitates on me when I Shoot Boss in NWI.

You have no idea how excited I was to see a slight dusting of snow this morning in the blessed land of NWI.

I blame ATM. NOW!

Now!

Besides, sometimes NWI is a bright sunny cold place.

Is there a qualification process to get approved for the Atterbury shoot? I understand the requirement to participate on Saturday, and am confident I can score riffleman on Saturday ( or at least get darn close ... Got riffleman at my first two appleseeds ). With as many folks as I assume are interested, how will you select who gets what I assume are a limited number of spots on the atterbury line?

Link to register for Atterbury is here: 2011 Atterbury, IN Appleseed Information.
Use this link if you plan on signing up for the Indianapolis shoot on Saturday!

Here are the targets!

That is a REALLY bad place to stand!!!

The Army "D" silhouette is the width of the average adult torso.







The girl is not.

Still... She's right in the middle of the "5"... Knowing our shooters' skill set, would you disagree with my comment?

LOL - good point. However, note that she's in the pits - if you're firing from that side of the range, you're doing it wrong.

So we should sign up and pay for two days at one of the other shoots and then transfer the 2nd day to Atterbury? Or are we supposed to pay for day 1 at one of the other shoots and then pay separately for Atterbury?

Yep, go ahead and sign up and pay for two days at one of the other locations. That way there's only one money transaction. Don't forget to send your full name, address, and DOB at least one week before the event to IN@appleseedinfo.org

The only exception is if you choose to sign up for the one-day shoot in Indianapolis on Saturday. You'll have to sign up for Indy and Atterbury separately then, but all others just sign up for the whole weekend at whichever location you choose. Note: If you choose Indy, centerfire is not allowed, so you'll need a .22 for Saturday and your centerfire for Sunday. If you want to practice everything with your centerfire on Saturday at 25 yds, then you'll need to choose any of the other locations.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

I would like to know the answer to these questions as well. Is there a limited number of spots? Who would get them?

Sorry, bigus_D - I didn't see your post. Thanks for pointing it out, Wild Deuce.

Bigus, it sounds like you have plenty of experience and would certainly be ready to try some KD at Atterbury. As far as who gets to go, it's whoever gets in line and registers first - there are 80 spots but we're getting a couple more registrations each day. And don't forget to get your info to IN@appleseedinfo.org at least one week before the event - that's key to both sign up and to get you in the gate. Looking forward to seeing you both there!
