Ssgsa - Awesome. Thank you for your service. If you are suggesting that was your reason for skipping Sunday you missed out. We didn't do any of that.

Sooooo. the Vector PDF file? I have it but it is simply a pic of the target. I'm glad I have it, thanks, but I don't see a black square on it to establish a scale.

Does anyone still have the black target they pulled down from the pits that they could measure and get dimensions off of?



Also, this is IMO very timely. Travis Haley has a great video about combat zero's. https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/tactics_and_training/300478-travis_haley_combat_zero.html

I don't know what everyone else did but I only had gross elevation adjustments on my fold up iron sights so I took advantage of the 300 yard zero and holdover information the entire weekend.

Dimensions on the "D" target Army prone:
26" wide base on the black silhouette
18.75" tall to top of head
9.5" from base to what looks like top of shoulder
20" from center to center of shoulders

Clear as mud?

That's a big whoops, correct target on it's way now.

After the first AQT on day 2 we met at the Wolf tent to talk to CJ. 3 Of us got Rifleman scores and someone took pictures of us standing with CJ. Anyone have those pics? I would REALLY like to have a copy if it is as easy as attaching them to an email.
Edit: email address removed, I have it now. Thanks.

Hey, I'm not sure where to put this but I found a link to CJ's book: Carnivore: A Memoir by One of the Deadliest American Soldiers of All Time: Dillard Johnson, James Tarr: 9780062288417: Amazon.com: Books

I might pick this up soon so I can do some reading at the beach next month. I already have American Sniper on my to read list.

Wait, what?

Are you participating in government sponsored marksmanship?

If so,

If not, what's up?

Thermal night scopes, laser range finders and suppressors... It's Appleseed for the 21st century!



... Your tax dollars hard at work...

Ok, now I don't feel so bad telling all my friends i out shot an active duty sniper last weekend. I'm envious to say the least.

Of all the things that are done with my tax dollars, putting people like you on the range with fine rifles and ammo is one of my favorites.

Ha, don't feel bad at all you killed me last weekend! I'm a guardsman though not active duty, I'm a professional recruiter and worship pastor 28-29 days a month and a Sniper the rest. My section leader is a State Trooper, my shooter is a manager at discount tire, my security man is a handy man, we've got a college student, truck driver and full time guard guy. Like the farmers and shopkeepers on Lexington green we gather to train a few days a month to defend the country we love. We just happen to be fortunate enough to do it with some very nice rifles and optics. Are we highly trained? Yup. Are we the best marksmen around? Hardly. 99% of our job is getting to a place where we can take a shot and reporting what we see. But Doc I'm not diminishing what you did last weekend. My ability to adapt to something new wasn't good, which means I'm not as good as I thought I was...

This is really at the essence of what Appleseed is trying to accomplish at Atterbury. that is why everyone was asked to carry their gear all weekend. Finding out what it takes to get up and get out. This is why the Highpower shooter was asked to leave his trolley behind. The modern American is not ready to answer the bell and it has very little to do with the marksmanship side. Its the health side, the mindset side, the readiness side. Can you grab your stuff and walk out the door with no warning?

This is why everyone shook their head YES on Sunday when I asked if they understood what Saturday was for. It is because they didn't realize how unprepared they were, both in the marksmanship side and the other stuff, until it was held in front of them. For those of you that made it, wasn't Sunday a slicker day despite the rain? Imagine what our country would be like if just a few in every ten had a mindset adjusted so.
