Project Appleseed Rifle Marksmanship Clinic

Project Appleseed is a nationwide program of The Revolutionary War Veterans Association teaching marksmanship skills that have been passed down from generation to generation and reconnecting Americans with the people and events of our Founding Fathers.

The Revolutionary War Veterans Association is a non-profit organization operated by volunteer instructors dedicated to teaching every American our shared heritage and history as well as traditional rifle marksmanship skills.

Project Appleseed‘s heritage program tells the story of the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Listeners will learn of the heartbreaking separations that arose out of the choices made on April 19th 1775. They are also reminded of the marksmanship skills and masterful organization that ultimately helped set the colonists on the path to success.
