The Appleseed Pistol Clinic has been around a few years now and I shot my first one this weekend. It was a very interesting and fairly challenging course of fire.
I did not earn my patch this weekend. I was more than accurate enough, but not fast enough. Stage 1 is 10 rounds in ten seconds, so required a mag change for me with my 1911. Stage 2 is two magazines of six and four rounds on a slightly smaller target in 15 seconds, so everyone has a mag change. Stage 3 is weak and strong hand only, 5 shots in 15 seconds each. Stage 4 is the smallest targets, with 10 rounds in two minutes. We shot one Pistol Qualification Target (PQT) on Saturday after a day of history/instruction. Today was a little more history, but we only managed two PQTs before lightning shut us down.
I will practice and go back. I also volunteered to become an instructor for the Rifle Clinic, so am probably one of the newest “orange hats” in the Appleseed organization.
Take a look at them if you are interested in some Revolutionary War history and improving your shooting.
