Holiday Rush is on! - The holiday rush may be over elsewhere, but it is still on at Freds (see below, for why) - yes, we are still cleaning up orders from Nov and Dec while pushing Jan orders out the door - so please be patient. If your CC has been charged, and it has been more than a couple of weeks, please call me any afternoon at 919-663-2027. You should know that Fred is a nerd when it comes to computers, so when you order you are likely to receive a message, something about our site having an expired security certificate. Yes, we renewed the certificate, but the instructions for registering it on the site did not work - and Fred, being a nerd about it, has not taken the day off to try to fix it. I have been told by IT people that the new certificate is a mere formality, that the site continues to be secure. Some of you have computers that will not let you order from the site, or which make you overide them because of the supposed insecurity of the site. Simply plug on past that, place your order, and it should come within 30 days IF you make sure you have the correct CC entered (very important) and your complete UPS delivery address (very important). If your order has not arrived within 30 days, call us any Wednesday or email (freds@embarqmail.com)and we will find out what happened. Most orders ship in a week or less, especially books, targets, etc. Stocks MAY take longer, because each of them is handpicked. Please avoid calling us if you can (in other words, wait the 30 days), as constant calls simply slows things down even more. If you need your order by a date certain, like for Christmas, let us know and we will do what we can. Enter the message in the comments box of the shopping cart.

Alert! Before You Order From This Website, READ THIS! - NOV 17th - DUE TO COMMITMENTS TO PROJECT APPLESEED I WILL BE ABLE TO WORK ABOUT 2-3 DAYS A WEEK IN THE WAREHOUSE FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS OR SO, WHICH MEANS BIG DELAYS - EVEN MORE THAN NORMAL! SO PLEASE BE ADVISED OF THAT, BEFORE YOU ORDER, AND MAKE YOUR DECISION TO ORDER OR NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE EXTRA DELAY. - Fred, busy with the Appleseed Nationwide Tour, cannot be at the warehouse as much as he might like - The best way to order is over our secure website (right here, where you are now), and your order should, if you are careful to enter your correct credit card number, ship in a few days. STOCKS ARE ALL HAND-SELECT AND TAKE A LONG TIME TO SHIP - IF YOU ARE AN IMPATIENT PERSON, PLEASE DO NOT ORDER - THANKS - If you need to make a telephone order, call warehouse at 919-663-2027 9AM-4PM EST - but only on Wednesdays! Thanks. Most items ship in 1-5 days, but be sometimes longer if item is HTF [hard-to-find]. If you need the item by a date certain, please advise in the comments section of the order form, and we will try to ship earlier. PLEASE NOTE MINIMUM ORDER, except for targets, is $25.00. Best to order thru the website for better tracking - please double check your CC# because one transposed or wrong number stops your order stone cold dead... Thanks, Fred PS: Shipping to Canada suspended! Sorry, customs has gotten too quirkey, and the costs of packages going back and forth too prohibitive... Late-breaking: No foreign Orders! Sorry, overseas/outside-the-USA-people - because of the reduced warehouse hours, we have not the time to process foreign orders with all the paperwork...

Classification AQT - NEW! - Possibly the secret weapon in the soft war - the war of recruitment. And fun as the devil, to boot! The new Classification AQT allows you a quick measure of your overall shooting skills - in only 8 rounds! No sighter shots, just line up in front of the target, way off there at 25m (does not sound far, until you put your sight on the small itty-bitty targets!) and fire two shots standing at the big target, drop to sitting/kneeling for two more on the next targets, drop to prone and put two shots each into the two smallest targets. Bingo! You are done. In less than two minutes, less than ten rounds! All you have to do is add up your score (be careful now, and read and follow the directions) to find out how close you are to being a rifleman! But - and this is an important but! - best use is to sucker some others you come across at the range into trying it out. And getting them into the AQT game. At 11 cents each, you can leave a couple stapled up at the range after you leave, cause who can resist trying a free target? And maybe, without any other effort on your part, someone else comes aboard. The Classification AQT - another weapon in the soft war! While you are about it, shoot the 20-rd version for a better measure of your skills. Better yet, do it in a 2-minute time limit! Fun, is what it is! And educational! 100 of these for 11 bucks! Oh, why did they make the soft war so easy - and fun!

Freds 25M Target Combo! Best choice of all? - If you are serious about becoming a Rifleman, you are serious about getting others into becoming Riflemen. So here is the deal: Order the 25m AQT in combination with the Quick n Dirty AQT Targets, and you will be all set! With the 25m AQT you get Freds Guide to Becoming a Rifleman, perfect to teach you and your (new) buddies how to shoot and, more importantly, how to be RIFLEMEN! Of course, you get the basic ten sets of AQT targets along with it, so you can put what you read in the Guide into practice. But then you get the FIFTY additional sets of AQT targets in a one-sheet, easy-to-staple-up format, perfect for luring in those bystanders at the range. Simply staple one up, and ask, Who wants to try it? Some brave soul will step forward, and maybe you have your first Rifleman prospect in the long journey to wake up America! And, here is the great part! - you save a couple of bucks by buying the regular AQTs and the Quick n Dirtys together! Do not miss this deal! Save America - and save a couple of bucks, too!

Freds Rifleman 25-Meter Targets w/Freds Guide to Becoming a Rifleman - Find out whether you are a rifleman - or a cook. Shoot this Army course through at 25 meters (82 ft) to determine your current shooting skill. [Click on the RIFLEMAN button, then on BECOMING A RIFLEMAN for a description of the AQT course of fire.] Then read the Guide to Becoming a Rifleman to improve until you can shoot Rifleman scores. Use the time to get ready now - while you have the time! The AQT is the only course of fire you can shoot centerfire or rimfire anywhere you find 82 ft and a safe backstop, and which will give you a numerical evaluation of your shooting skills you can compare with military standards to see how well you can shoot, now. Then use the Guide to develop your shooting skills, and watch your scores improve as you refire the AQT (you can do it ten times, since there are ten complete sets of targets - but you can photocopy, to shoot more than ten times). Have the satisfaction of watching those scores improve until, if you persist, you are soon shooting Army EXPERT classification, and can call yourself a RIFLEMAN, and be ready to engage targets out to 500 yards with your rack-grade rifle and surplus ammo. The Guide will enable you to look at the placement of your shots on the target and analyze what errors you are making. As you steadily correct errors, your shooting improves! For the duration of the war on terrorism, NOT subject to our $25.00 minimum order requirement. New: quantity discount: 2 for $30 (with TWO Guides) or 5 for $60 (with FIVE Guides) - simply enter quantity, and we will adjust price to reflect new quantity price.

Freds Quick n Dirty AQT - NEW! The Quick and Dirty AQT - 50 AQT ONE-sheet targets w/all FOUR AQT stages, for only 12 bucks? Ghost silhouettes, lighter than normal? (NOT best for beginners, as no Rifleman Guide comes with this set. You must be able to shoot sub-2-inch groups at 25m.) Quick, cause you have only to staple up one sheet, not four; dirty, cause you get a fast result. (Because there are fewer targets in the rapid-stages, and you have to shift targets less, 210, not 200 = Rifleman on this target.) Great for practice, getting to that magic 1-inch, 4 MOA group that defines Rifleman. And to sucker newbies into shooting! Perfect for club matches. 50 sheets = 50 complete AQTs for $12! Pssst! The AQT asks YOU: Afraid of a little paper target? Afraid of the Riflleman Challenge? Conquer your fear, with these targets. Find out, it is nothing but fun! Becoming a Rifleman, that is.

Freds Rifleman 25 meter/100 yard AQT Silhouette Targets - 100 pk - We have taken the large AQT silhouette from the Stage 1 Standing AQT target and reproduced as a single 8.5 X 11 target. You can post it at 25m to practice your standing, or at 100 yards to practice your prone slow-fire (Stage 4/AQT). You can even put 4 of them up at 100 yards, and shoot the AQT course of fire - all at 100 yards! It will be challenge, which is why we call it the Advanced AQT. If you can score 160 points or more, we say you are a rifleman - but most real Riflemen are going to want to score the standard 200 points or better - and will do it! These targets are also ideal generic targets for any distance - put one up at 200 yards to equal a target at 800 yards, etc. With 100 targets in the pack, you have plenty of targets - enough to shoot the Advanced AQT 25 times!

Freds Rifleman 25-Meter Targets w/Freds Guide - TEN complete sets for $125! - Special pricing for gun clubs, gunshops, and anyone who wants to promote freedom through Project Appleseed. Yes sir! You can help the Cause of Freedom by putting these sets into the hands of would-be riflemen. Buy a TEN complete AQT sets - each with the Guide to Becoming a Rifleman - for half price! Cheap enough to give em out, if that is what it takes to get people started. And what a gift to the country - riflemen springing up all over the place. No more going to the range by yourself, no sir! The patriotic gift - the gift of marksmanship! If you are a private individual and have fewer than 10 friends - get out and make some! (Take an extra set to the range with you, and you may soon have another friend, you bet)

Suggest you go up a size on your jacket, as I am told they shrink quite a bit, plus in cold weather it is nice to be able to wear a sweatshirt/sweater underneath.

NEW! Hits Count Redcoat 25m Target - These targets are like eating peanuts! You cannot stop with just one! Like the Classification target, this target has four Army D silhouttes (head-and-shoulder)reduced in size to represent, at 82 ft, targets at 100, 200, 300, and 400 yards. Your task is to put three rounds from the prone position on each of the targets. As a bonus, there is a fourth target, representing a head at 250 yards - which, since riflemen in the Rev War could hit it, you should have no trouble with your modern sights, right? This target will answer a question you need answered: how far off can you be effective with your rifle? On the Appleseed Nationwide Tour to date, less than 50% of the particpants can qualify even at 100 yards! This is a good target for practice, a good target for mastering a challenge, and a good target to stick up in front of your friends, and ask them if they can hack it, can make the grade - or are they simply content to remain cooks all their life? You get 100 targets, enough you can afford to leave one hanging at the range each time you leave, to act as bait to get another rifle-owner sucked in to learning to shoot. Buy em, and use em!
