• IMC is the method a Rifleman uses to take the information on the target and adjust the rifle sights to move the point of impact (POI) to the desired POI.

• IMC is also used to measure POI groups independent of range.

• 1 Minute of Angle (MOA) = 1 Inch per 100 yards

The approximate path of travel of the bullet.

1 MOA = 1 inch per 100 yards

The Rifleman Knows:

What makes a Rifleman?

A sense of personal responsibility,involvement in our communities, and

civic duty.

"Young man, what we meant in going for those Redcoats was this: we always had governed ourselves and we always

meant to. They didn't mean we should.“(Captain Levi Preston, of the Danvers

militia, at age 91, rememberingApril 19,1775)

Appleseed seeks to honor the Founders by remembering the choices they made. And we seek to pass on to our children what we were given: a third option for civic participation

rather than a choice between submission and violence.www.appleseedinfo.org
