We just wrapped up another fine day of KD at the Vets Shooting Center in Bald Knob, Arkansas.

I met with "Dangerous Old Man" Arceagle14 and his fourteen year old nephew for some KD! Rifles used, AR15's, M14 and a bolt action .308.

A lot of good shooting was accomplished and a lot of steel was rung! Shooting mainly from 300 to 500, with the fourteen year old hitting the small steel target at 600 over and over again!

We try to meet once a week at Vets, mostly KD is shot, but also some reduced AQT's. If anyone would like to join in, just contact us! We have some shooting games coming up soon, utilizing KYL and TYL targets, this will be a test of your Rifleman skills!

Here's the nephew of Arceagle14, shooting his uncle's Savage .308 at 600. Yes, we let him slide about not using the sling, but he had already shown he can sling up and hit steel at range with his new AR carbine. He handled the rifle very well, he first went to an Appleseed at age of ten, hasn't been to another one since, but I'm quite sure he would earn his patch at the next event he attends!

At 14 it's hard to keep him interested for very long with everything else he has going on, but I would really like to get him back to an Appleseed. Great pictures Quincannon.
He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.

Gosh, I miss being out there with y'all.  We had a really good shoot out in Macon, GA last week.  About the only thing I don't like about the range is that it's about three hours away from home.   

I am working on getting something going closer to home.  There are a lot of present and former military folks out here that have expressed interest in the program.

A rifleman persists; it took me six Appleseeds, a number of equipment changes and a trip to the eye doctor to qualify.
