Here are some pictures from the Kingman event.
These are supplementary to the original AAR, which seems to be having some technical difficulties.
The pictures tell the story of a group of Americans who came together to spend a weekend, learning about Rifle Marksmanship and their heritage as Americans.
Under sunny skies punctuated by desert "breezes" every one engaged in this learning and growth process.
Sunday afternoon was the inaugural Arizona Known Distance training. After a concise explanation of the fundamentals by AZredhawk44, class was adjourned to the 1000 yard range to practice new skills. The experience was a confirmation that what was taught at the 25m range, translates to the 1000 yard range. And yes the 400 yard target looks that small 400 yards away.
Thanks to all the participants, the instructors AZredhawk44, AZopie, and SavageShooter a glorious weekend was spent honoring those whose sacrificed for our liberties and developing the skills of a Rifleman
Very well said! Thanks for coming out Xeyed - it was my pleasure to work with you! To all the shooters - thanks for coming out and I hope to encounter you all at an Appleseed in the near future!
Hey, that almost looks just like Boulder City! :D
Thanks for the glimpse into Kingman, AZ and the fine Americans who spent the weekend honoring our Heritage. 1000 yards. :o 8)
OG,
You are welcome. It's along way from the rivers, forests and green rolling hills of Wisconsin. And places with strange names like Baraboo, Lodi and Shiocton. Been to all those and more.
It's small world.
It's a good thing that Appleseed is in both places.
By the way, aside from the old west feel at the Kingman range, it was directly off a preserved section of historical Route 66. There was something right about teaching American Heritage and Rifle marksmanship just off the Mother Road of America.
If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, take the highway that is best.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
It winds from chicago to la,
More than two thousand miles all the way.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
Now you go through saint looey
Joplin, Missouri,
And Oklahoma city is mighty pretty.
You see Amarillo,
Gallup, New Mexico,
Flagstaff, Arizona.
Don't forget Winona,
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernandino.
Won't you get hip to this timely tip:
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

Won't you get hip to this timely tip:
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
And there are Appleseeds all along the way.
What a GREAT and BEAUTIFUL country we live in. Coast to coast and everything in between. Worth preserving, eh?! :)
A person can travel almost anywhere and make Appleseed a part of the trip. :cool2:

What was the weather like in Kingman? What did you learn? Chime in students. We'd like to hear what kind of experience this was for you. ..:..
OG in WI
p.s. SS, excellent way to demonstrate the 30 degree angle to the target line by angling the body off the mat. I'll have to add that to my prone demo. O0
