Families and individuals will be able to learn traditional rifle marksmanship skills and their historical role in the country’s founding at the Project Appleseed event to be held Saturday and Sunday, June 2-3, at the North Valley Sportsman’s Club firing range off the North Fork Road, north of Columbia Falls.

Youths will learn safe firearms handling and fundamentals of rifle marksmanship. Adults will improve and refine their marksmanship skills. They will also learn about the historic events of April 18, 1775, as the American Revolution began.

Participants must provide their own rifles and ammunition. Instructors have been trained to accommodate people with disabilities. Project Appleseed is sponsored by The Revolutionary War Veterans Association.

Pre-registration fees are $5 individuals under-21, $10 women and $70 all others. Fees are waived for active duty military, National Guard or Reserve members, peace officers, elected officials and people with disabilities.
