Last weekend I was invited to travel down to Roy, Washington to shoot a living history event set around the real life Recondo School that was put in place during the Vietnam war.

Very nice set. Just watched a show on Military Channel a few weeks ago that covered the history of the Recondo School. Very interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing.

We had a few vets who came down to teach classes and they had some very interesting stories. one of the guy actually helped trained the real school.

Thanks! if you can find a local reenactment, I would highly suggest covering one, its such a fast paced type of shooting, exhausting and fun for sure.
