Program Eligibility
Anyone may attend an Appleseed Rifle Clinic. The program welcomes shooters of all ages shooting a wide variety of rifles.

Controversy
The Appleseed program has been subject to a number of criticisms:


 * Critics have argued that it is not beginner friendly, and that it is a poor mechanism to introduce new shooters to rifle sports.
 * Other critics argue that teaching rifle marksmanship with a sling is anachronistic, as this style of shooting is no longer taught in most military organizations.
