BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The Port Malabar Rifle and Pistol Club will host their “Patriot’s Day 2015 Rifle Marksmanship Clinic” event on April 18-19 in Palm Bay.
The Port Malabar Rifle and Pistol Club event will be held at 610 Hurley Boulevard in Palm Bay.
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 is a nationwide program of The Revolutionary War Veterans Association, teaching rifle marksmanship skills that have been passed down from generation to generation and reconnecting Americans with the people and events of our Founding Fathers.
The volunteer instructors travel across the country teaching those who attend about the difficult choices, the heroic actions, and the sacrifices that the Founders made on behalf of modern Americans for our country’s freedom and independence.
Project Appleseed‘s heritage program vividly portrays the Battles of Lexington and Concord.
Modern listeners are confronted with the danger, the fear, and 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.
Those who attend gain a better understanding of the fundamental choices faced by our ancestors as they began to set the stage for the nation we now enjoy.

Participants are taught fundamental rifle marksmanship skills that are to allow a rifleman or riflewoman to be accurate out to 400 yards, with iron sights or a scope, a standard rifle and surplus ammo.
Most of the instruction at a Project Appleseed event is conducted on the firing range at 25 yards, at reduced size targets to simulate 100 to 400 yards.
Students will learn rifle shooting from the standing, sitting, kneeling, and prone positions, sight alignment, and breath control, along with safe gun handling, proper use of a sling, and Revolutionary War history.
Registration begins at 8 a.m. The clinic starts at 8:30 a.m. and will continue until 5 p.m., both days.
Please bring your own ear/eye protection, rifle with sling and ammo, rifle mat, bug repellent, hat, sunscreen, a packed lunch, snacks, and water to drink.
A .22 caliber rifle is recommended due to the cost of ammo, but a centerfire rifle can be used if preferred. About 250 rounds of ammo will be needed per day.
