Misc:
This is a rifle marksmanship event - No Handguns on the firing line.
One of Arizona's oldest ranges, the 7 Mile Hill Range just South of Kingman is Arizona Appleseed's premier range for KD shooting, whether for the KD portion of a standard Appleseed weekend, or a 3-Day Advanced KD Clinic. So if you want to shoot full-distance AQTs with your centerfire rifle, this is the one to attend. Firing lines face North by Northeast, and strong winds provide good wind-doping practice for KD shooting. Come on out and join us for some of the finest Marksmanship instruction available. Additionally, shooters will be immersed in the true history and lore of April 19th, 1775, the day Marksmanship met history and our heritage began.
