The official posting of the date should come in a few days. They are also in the process of determining if it is to be a two or three day event. It's $70 for the weekend; women, kids under 21, active military shoot for free. Any caliber of rifle is welcomed, scope or iron sights, a few bolt actions even show up.
I brought my Springfield M1a last December to the Davilla, TX and had an amazing weekend.... 500 rounds of .308 and a huge smile. Still working towards that Rifleman's patch. Most of the shooting takes place at 25 meters with reduce scale targets so that anyone with a .22, ar, ak, m1, etc, can show up, participate and have a great time.
This will be our states first Appleseed, we need to get the word out, fill the firing line and make it an event to remember.
A ton of info on the Appleseed site, but if there are any questions let me know.
