Over the Memorial Day weekend, I took my nephew to a 3-day clinic at Appleseed's home range. We had a great time, and learned a bunch. My nephew used a standard 10/22 with Tech sights, and I used a bolt action CZ452 with aperture sights. We also brought an AR15 to shoot some. All our rifles were equipped with leather 1907 slings, but everyone else used a cotton GI sling. Shooting the AQT well is certainly do-able with a bolt rifle, but you can't let any grass grow trying to get off that perfect shot.
The Appleseed people are a dedicated and knowledgeable bunch of folks, and the event is very family-friendly and very helpful. If you've ever thought of attending one of their events, I can highly recommend it!
