Place a target with an 8-inch center zone at 50 yards. (A paper plate stapled to the chest area of a silhouette target works great.) Load three magazines with five rounds each. At the firing line, assume a low-ready position with the rifle loaded. When the buzzer sounds, fire five rounds from the standing position. Reload, and fire five rounds from the kneeling position. Reload again, and fire your last five rounds from the prone position. The clock stops when you fire your final shot from prone.There's more to it as far as scoring and such, but that's the essentials. With a .22 and an 8" steel plate this could be a HELL of a lot of fun, and cheap to do. Maybe it's time to invest in some new mags for the M&P15-22...

Simple, Basic, what's not to like?
Of course, I need to find a place that's within a Reasonable Drive where I can get out to 50 yards AND be allowed to move. But since I'm stuck with 25 yard Indoor Ranges, I need to get some Junk Land down in Southern Ohio.....
and FRUSTRATING if you've never shot it...LOL
Of course you could just go to an Appleseed to zero yourself in. Then head over to say Rosebud, MO in December that will have some KD out to 400 m...
Just sayin'
Anon, I've been to more than a handful of Appleseeds. I've got the orange and red hats to prove it. I've knocked out a 238 using a bolt-action .22 on a QDAQT. I turned my back on the program thanks to Fred, Scout, and the rest of the higher-ups.
I think the marksmanship instruction is good and I definitely learned a lot. I also understand that if I'm ever on a two-way range, I'm not necessarily going to have time to find NPOA and focus on a perfect shot: I'm going to shoot for "good enough".
