Would you like to learn to do this?
That is three bullet holes in a quarter inch square from a range of 25 yards. If you would like to learn to do this too, I can tell you where, an Appleseed.
I had a new rifle with a freshly mounted scope on it. I didn’t have access to a bore sight, so I went out back thinking this could take awhile to zero in. I took 3 sighter shots. They were 5 inches high and 1 ½ inches to the right. Having learned by previously attending an Appleseed that at 25 yards a ¼ inch equals 1 Minute of Angle(MOA). So my calculations put me at 20 MOA high and 6 MOA to the right. My scope adjustments are at ¼ MOA per click, meaning I need to turn the turret 4 clicks to equal 1 MOA, which calculates into 80 clicks down and 24 clicks to the left.
You see the results. So, do you too want to be able to zero a rifle in just 6 shots? Do you want to learn about Minutes of Angle and Minutes Inches Clicks to adjust any sight you might come across? Do you want to learn how to put three bullets in the same hole using nothing but your rifle, a sling and your body? No fancy tricked out rifles, no bipods, sandbags or rests. This was just a plain jane run of the mill Marlin bolt action rifle.
If you do, then come to an Appleseed and meet some of Indiana’s finest instructors who will turn you into a true rifleman. Think you already are one? Prove it. What can be done at 25 yards will translate out to 100, 200….500 yards. ¼ inch equals 1 MOA at 25 yards, 1 inch equals 1 MOA at 100 yards and 5 inches equals 1 MOA at 500 yards. Can you hit a 5 inch target at 500 yards consistently? Actually a rifleman’s standard is 4 MOA, but it’s much cooler when you can hit a 1 MOA target. Can anyone tell me how many inches 4 MOA would be at 25, 100 and 500 yards?
Ladies, and youngsters this isn’t just for the men folks. I’m a Granny to three and if I can do it so can you.

Here is Kentucky’s, Ohio’s, Illinois’ and Michigan’s for our bordering INGOers.

. That is an awesome group. If everything works out I plan to attend an Appleseed this summer with my son.
