Directions:

Henry County Gun Club is located approximately 5 ½ miles SW of Puryear, TN. Puryear is approximately 10 miles north of Paris, TN and 12 miles south of Murray, KY, on Hwy 641.

From Puryear, take Hwy 140 west for approximately 3.5 miles and turn left onto Goldston Springs Rd. Goldston Springs Rd. does not cross 140. It begins at Hwy 140 on the south side. There is a small gun club sign at this intersection. The entrance to the club will be on the left about 2 miles down Goldston Springs Rd. A small gun club sign will be on the right at this location.

Registration begins at 8am.   The clinic starts at 8:30 a.m. and will continue until 5:00 p.m.

Participants are taught fundamental rifle marksmanship skills that are to allow a rifleman to be accurate out to 400 yards, with iron sights or a scope, a standard rifle and surplus ammo. Most of the instruction at a Project Appleseed event is conducted on the firing range at 25 yards, at reduced size targets to simulate 100 to 400 yards.  Students will learn rifle shooting from the standing, sitting, kneeling, and prone positions, sight alignment, and breath control, along with safe gun handling, proper use of a sling, and Revolutionary War history.

Please bring your own ear/eye protection, a rifle with sling, ammunition, rifle mat, bug repellent, hat, sunscreen, a packed lunch, snacks, drinks, and plenty of water to stay hydrated. Both centerfire and rimfire rifles are allowed. About 500 rounds of ammunition is needed.
