Welcome to the 2024 Appleseed thread! I didn’t post as much last year due to a new job but will try to do a better job this year.
We already have a loaded schedule and may have even more opportunities for some of our specialized clinics to be announced as the year progresses. You can find...
Sorry for the late start to the 2023 thread - been a busy start to the year with new jobs and such. But we are off and running with three rifle clinics and two instructor boot camps so fare this year and more to come!
We already have a loaded schedule and have even more opportunities for some...
Since I can't find any other threads online about this (and I have looked for my own sake), I felt like it might help other folks to demonstrate the compatibility of the Magpul Backpacker Stock with the Ruger PC Carbine M-Lok free-float handguard (such as model 19117).
I bought my PC Carbine a...
I have a lot of guns and certainly have a lot of rimfires. But one thing I didn’t have was a bullpup rifle. And before everyone jumps in to tell me all the reasons NO ONE should have a bullpup, I don’t care – I wanted one. They are short, cool looking, and I have plenty of more conventional...
Wow, what a 2021! I won't repeat what was posted in our annual summary post, but we accomplished quite a bit thanks to all of YOU who attended!
We are building an even more PACKED 2022 schedule that will exceed our number of events from last year and have even more opportunities for some of...
200-Yard Rimfire Liberty Training Rifle Challenge!
At the Project Appleseed Rimfire Known Distance event at Delmarva Sportsmans Association on October 30, 2021 we had two shooters attempting to qualify with Ruger 10/22 Liberty Training Rifles equipped with Tech Sights.
Several Maryland...
Sorry to cross-post this but it is good news from our senior leadership for all the S&W 15-22 owners out there!
In Project Appleseed, student safety is paramount. We recognize and appreciate the effort that Smith & Wesson has made with their M&P 15-22 safety alert. The M&P 15-22 rifles will...
Survival Rifles
Like many on this site, I have an affinity for “what-if” scenarios and own a few things that many people might see as of limited practical value. Heck, as I did some closet cleaning and looked back at some things I bought years ago for modest prepping, I was a little embarrassed...
Alright, we are past a 2020 that was very challenging for the program, with 11 cancelled events. But we have scheduled a PACKED 2021 with not only the most events planned in our state's history, but with more types of clinics designed for all types of shooters!

Intro to Appleseed Patriot Pistol
As some of you know, Project Appleseed is rolling out a pistol program to complement its rifle clinics. Known as Patriot Pistol, it is meant to be a foundational course in pistol marksmanship – it has a blend of defensive and slow-fire bullseye concepts without...
Maryland Appleseed has had a rough Spring due to the range closures and social distancing requirements imposed by the State. We went from having a bunch of sold-out shoots and a whole year of events to a lot of cancellations, uncertainties, transfers to future events, etc. I know it was...
I know, yet another AR. But it's on-sale at PSA right now for $830.
Advertised with a heavy barrel and seems to have some other good features (15" M-Lok rail, B5 SOPMOD stock and grip) for the money.
I am not in the market, but seems to be a good MD-legal option if they exclude the mag.
Welcome to Maryland Project Appleseed 2019!
Our Rifle Marksmanship clinics are fun, and your shooting will improve whatever your starting skill level!
New to shooting? We will get you on paper, you will see rapid improvement, and you will have fun.
Prior Appleseed shooter, but still...
As mentioned in a past MD Shooters post on known distance events, Project Appleseed has a reputation as a 22@25 (22LR at 25 yards) organization, although we coach on how those skills translate out to 500-yards. But practicing is just as valuable as preaching.
We are lucky in Maryland to have...
My last two reviews have been of 22LR AR-15s, which I have been enjoying quite a bit lately:
The Tippmann M4-22 Pro, which continues to put up amazing scores in practice sessions and hasn’t missed a beat in terms of reliability
The BRN16A1 with CMMG conversion kit that is just too cool and fun...
Not sure if this belongs in the centerfire or rimfire section, but since I have it set up as a rimfire right now, I will put it here.
Having bought all of my lowers before 2013, I have been able to try out a variety of uppers on my ARs that are denied to a lot of folks. I have a couple of...
A rimfire-only Appleseed tends to have a lot of more traditionally stocked semi-automatic rifles on the line: Ruger 10/22s and similar platforms, Marlin 795s, and occasionally a CZ, Remington, or Mossberg. This can give the impression that "black rifles" are frowned upon. That, of course...

Picked up my first precision bolt action rifle this weekend at 2A. While I was seriously tempted by the Tikka T3X TAC A1 in 308 (which was absolutely beautiful), I am very happy with my purchase - it is everything the reviews say it is in terms of accuracy and features. Tom did a great job at...
It's not just a Glock, a CZ, and a Sig living together in a new home. It's a single stack 9mm Glock TALO edition, an urban gray suppressor ready CZ 75B Omega, and a Sig P226 Legion SAO. Think of all the wacky adventures that could result when you add an AAC TiRant to the mix!
Have taken them...
