My First Project Mapleseed Experience

[@gregrburnett3400]

I know it's been 4 years, but if you still have it, would you consider doing a more detailed video of the sling? Thanks.

[@rxt744]

Great video! Any chance that you will make a video or post a blog entry with the details on your home made custom sling? I'd be very interested in doing something similar. Thanks in advance!

Great video and summary Matthew. You were already an excellent shooter, came with an open mind and implemented what was talked about. Congratulations on obtaining your Rifleman patch. BZ!

[@Womfat]

Thank you for all the hard work! What a great course you guys put on.

[@Huntinggearguy]

It looks like you prepared well: that sling is great, SK Standard definitely takes ammo accuracy out of the equation, and the shooting prior probably really helped with knowing your kit was good to go. Most rifles on a Mapleseed line end up with vet wrap and pipe insulation on them to build up the cheek rest, so it probably looked like all the rest.

[@Huntinggearguy]

Also, congrats on achieving Rifleman!

[@Womfat]

@@Huntinggearguy Thank you! Yes, many rifles ended up looking like mummies with the tape. It was effective, function over form!

[@chrisl913]

Keep up the great work. Just subscribed and look forward to more of your Canadian content.

[@Womfat]

Thanks!

[@captaincodebook3200]

Congrats !! I am just starting as an instructor. Glad to hear your perspective.

[@Dragonseye96]

Congrats on your Rifleman. I shot my first Project Mapleseed event last year also but I didn't make my rifleman score until the last MQT. Great video for anybody thinking about checking out Project Mapleseed.

[@Womfat]

Thanks, I wish I'd done a Mapleseed sooner!

[@charlesmckinley29]

Using a sling definitely improves off hand shooting. Congratulations on shooting score. Are you going to take a hat at your next event? Some one needs to step up. If you can make it down to Eastern Ohio/Western Pennsylvania for a seed would be glad to meet you. If you don’t want to travel with rifles loaners can be arranged. Hope to see you on the trail. My AS forum name is the same cryptic one as here if you have questions.

Where did you get those targets to print?

[@blacktide111]

The maplesead website has their targets available to print!

[@michaelmuzzy8401]

Shot my first Apple Seed, made Riffle man as well.everyone should attend one if they can.

[@xman354]

Good job. I did the Mapleseed course last year and was just a few points short of the rifleman patch. I am scheduled to take the course again in August. I looked everywhere for 1.25 sling strapping and none was found except Amazon and I never got the order after many months so I gave up looking. lol

[@Womfat]

Awesome, which range are you taking it at?

All the best, remember: NPOA!

[@clockworkbike]

Can you do the day with only 2 mags? I've got a Tikka and I don't want to purchase more mags if I don't need them. Thanks for the video.

[@Womfat]

Yup, 2 mags will get you through no problem. Just make sure at least one of them is a 10rd mag.

[@jonenglish6617]

Are you selling a print of the sling?

[@yimao4265]

Hey Matt, do you still have those sling for sale?

[@Womfat]

No, sorry. You can buy slings for mapleseed from the mapleseed website though.

[@gordmccoo5931]

Congrats!

[@kylejackson6777]

2 question 1. what is the distance? 2. what kind of equipment check i.e.. trigger pull gun weight also are shooting gloves permitted 3. With ORSPS and CRPS do you use shooting classifications by score?

[@Womfat]

The distance is 25 meters, no limitations on rifle unless specified by hosting ranges, not sure about shooting gloves. It is not scored relative to others, your qualification score is just for the rifleman accomplishment.

[@chrisl913]

Thank you for this video. I would like to take the course and this has inspired me to take it. Can you remember what the timing for each stage was?

[@Womfat]

First stage is standing 10 rounds 2 min, second stage is kneeling 10 rounds with a reload in 55 seconds, third stage is prone 10 rounds with a reload in 55 seconds, fourth stage is prone 10 rounds in 5 minutes

[@chrisl913]

@@Womfat congrats on the qualification. Can I ask one last question? What is the height of target in the last row. Want to get as close to real life as I can. Going to use this information along with the baseline target. Thank you in advance

[@Womfat]

It’s about 46mm tall and the ten zone is about 16mm tall. Just measured it with a ruler lol

[@shadowfox032]

Do you have any instructions on how you made your sling?

[@Womfat]

Shoot me an email and I can send some more detailed pics. Email can be found on the 'about' page on my channel.

[@daviddirom7429]

82’ = to 24.6 yds. 3’ = 1 yd

[@Womfat]

yeah strange, we posted them at 25m which is 27.3yds
