Find a local Appleseed event and practice. Get advice there.

If you are used to pistols, Appleseeds are the quickest way to learn to shoot a rifle really well, IMHO.

Sounds like good advice. BTW, can I use my 10/22 or should I bring my SKS for the Appleseed shoot? First timer for me for the Appleseed shoots....

I would use a 10/22 and look into getting some tech sights, although you can use the stock sights. If you don’t feel comfortable installing the sights yourself, just bring them and ask for help. One of the instructors should help you get it installed. Due to cost, most use a .22 of some sort and the 10/22 is the most popular.

I would also make sure you have 1” sling swivel and sling. If you don’t, the instructors will likely have extras to get you squared away. I always bring extras and have lost a lot of cash that way. Oh well. What society gets is well worth the cost of some sling swivels and slings.

You don’t *have* to do any of this, but it will make the day go easier. Even if you don’t, you will find that your fundamentals are much improved. I’d been shooting for years and was surprised at how much better I got. You learn a lot in a short weekend.
