Greetings,

We had a KD shoot in Coeur D'Alene on October 15-16, 2016 where several folks earned the patch from Shoot Boss Kimber Custom.  The AAR thread is here: https://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=49799.0  We hit an 8" gong at 250 yards.  In the AAR there is a link to the photo library.  I'm the second from right, and Lance (forgot his forum handle) is third from right.  Both of us are holding Kimber's special patches along with our KD RM rockers or patch. 

Here's the photo from the event:  https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNht89HJkfxCpkwvHxkPfzdOCvYIBnSBWf5Y-nowBHVf3RNpbYdX10iO6jmUNPj_A/photo/AF1QipOGIUCIu1yvaf5i40CHqUWmfIEH74MjckcBrYPM?key=RWV5RVh6bmduclc1UnlwMlJVLTk5a010SzJoaGZB

I'm hoping I can get added to the official list such that I can get one of the new patches.  My original is pretty frayed!

Thanks,

EERT (Pat)

Afternoon, sir! 

Sorry, brother, but I'm afraid the patch isn't retro-active.  You'll just need to hit it again!  I'm confident you can knock it out! If I could do it.....

Looks like there's a KD on the schedule for September in Coeur d'Alene.  I'm sure Prescott will order the new Morgan's targets and patches and be ready for the students and instructors to make that mark.

Looking forward to adding the Idaho bunch's names to the Roster!

In Liberty,
Traci

How about some pics??

We had a fantastic time at the Gainesville KD last Sunday, Nov. 13 2022

Newly-qualified on Morgan's Shingle are:

• Tyler B.
• Yuri Z.
• Captain
• pballer2oo7

Tyler B. then took a follow-up shot from standing and successfully connected - all done with an AK-47! 
AF5US had previously qualified on the Morgan's Shingle, but decided to take a shot at it (ha!) from standing.  He also connected.  Rumor has it that this all happened less than 48 hours after the powers that be made AF5US take a new grey hat, so it was probably a good weekend for him.

I realized after the fact that one of these fine fellows prefers not to have their picture displayed, so pictures are a bit rare for this one.  However I did find one of Tyler B.  Oh, and it has that other guy that connected while standing, too. 

Edit:
After careful review, I was able to magically find a shingle picture that includes our two instructors as well.  This picture was taken by KPROCTOR, and is posted here without credit. 

Glad you found those photos, Jason!

The roster has been updated to reflect Morgan's newest Riflemen.

Pelham TN, December 31, 2022

Five shooters qualified for Morgan's Rifle Company.

Booney Stomper from TN
ArmyVet from TN
Ivan from TN
Tennesse Beast from TN
and
Upacreek hit the shingle STANDING. Is she the first female to make the shingle shot?

we're almost at 96!!!!

Cleveland, thank you so much for the update and the addition of our newest members of Morgan's Riflemen.  Huzzah!

The Roster has been updated to reflect their accomplishments. And YES, Upacreek is the first lady to make a Shingle Strike from the Standing position!

I attempted to congratulate her during our zoom and learn the other night, but apparently the "hold the spacebar down to temporarily unmute" function is a dirty lie.   

Congratulations, Upacreek!

Beast, the Roster officially stands now at 93. 

Palm Bay FL, April 13, 2023
RBC Palm Bay 04-23
ChiefLane of Elida OH engaged Morgan's Shingle with a cold-bore shot.

Please add Chieflane to the Roster of Morgan's Riflemen.

In the attached photos you will see Chieflane on the left accompanied by Members of Morgan's Riflemen, TheMenace, ScubaSteve, and Davidjr.
In the other photo, you will see riflemen making ready to take the shot. In the distance, you will see the KD targets at 300 yards. The small white dot to the right of the 20 marker is the shingle at 250 yards.

Thanks you, Menace, and Congratulations, Gentlemen! I noted that neither ScubaSteve nor Davidjr were previously listed on the Roster, so all three of your new Morgan's Riflemen have been added.

How fitting that we've reached the exact number of Morgan's original company during Patriots' Month.

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!        

Thanks Traci,
Glad you caught that. I was mistakenly informed that they were previously added.
ScubaSteve is from Lakeland, FL and Davidjr is from O'Brien, Fl.

Good morning everyone.

Here we are, 2 years and 5 months since the launch of the Morgan's Riflemen challenge.  We reached a milestone this month, to be sure.  Morgan's original company that marched from Virginia to Boston that August of 1775 numbered a total of 96 trained and talented men.

Today, OUR Morgan's men now officially total 96 as well.  Huzzah!

The running list of Morgan's men that comprises the second post in this thread is hereby closed, but the Roster itself is alive and well, and will grow for as long as we have good men and women who step up to join its ranks.

Known Distance shoot bosses, we entreat you to continue to post your new Morgan's Riflemen here, with photos, please, as they are no less Morgan's men than the original 96.  If you have qualifiers who strike the Shingle from a standing position, please let me know right away, as I still have plenty of the extra "Bling" available to send to those who've earned it.

Ghostring and I would never have predicted this challenge would be embraced the way it has been when we cooked it up, and we just couldn't be more pleased.

Our Sincerest gratitude to you all, and to Project Appleseed for adopting the Shingle and patch and making it officially their very own.  It belongs to us all now.

Humbly,

Mrs. Smith
