Hi Everyone,
I wanted to give a quick update for anyone interested in seeing Known Distance events here in Arizona.
We are actively trying to get KD events going in AZ, but the biggest challenge so far has been finding a suitable range with the distances we need. Ideally, we are looking for access to 100, 200, 300, and 400 yard firing distances, with a layout that will work safely and practically for a Project Appleseed KD event.
That said, this is something we are working on, and the goal is to get something on the 2027 calendar. Depending on range availability, that may be a full centerfire KD event, or it may be an RKD event using rimfire rifles at reduced distances.
Either way, the intent is the same: give Arizona shooters the opportunity to continue building on the fundamentals learned at a standard Appleseed event and apply them at distance.
If you know of a range that may be a good fit, or if you have contacts at a facility that supports longer-distance rifle shooting, please let me know. We would love to explore any viable options.
Thanks for your patience and support as we work through the logistics. I know there is interest in bringing KD/RKD opportunities to Arizona, and we are doing our best to make that happen.
In Liberty,
Kelly
Arizona State Coordinator
