Wow. Blast from the past. Thanks for that.Paladin wrote: Wed Dec 01, 2021 9:38 am Rare video of COL Applegate describing his methods (both shooting and knife fighting):
I wonder when that was shot? If Applegate was in his late 60s in the video, that would place it around, what, 1982 or so? Maybe mid-80s if he was in his early 70s?

Re: COL Rex Applegate video
Not sure when it was shot, but COL Applegate lived a long time (84) and was active into the 90's... publishing his last books in 1998.Rafe wrote: Wed Dec 01, 2021 1:40 pmWow. Blast from the past.

Re: COL Rex Applegate video
So Rex would have been 77 or 78, or thereabouts. Maybe it was just that the resolution wasn't great that I thought he was 10 years younger than that.Paladin wrote: Wed Dec 01, 2021 3:48 pm From what I can tell it was filmed in 1992 and released in 2013
