Wounded Warrior 2015

Sgt. Matthew Krumwiede

Sgt. Matthew Krumwiede lost both of his legs above the knees and his left arm was badly damaged to an I.E.D. Explosion in Afghanistan 2 years ago. Matthew is US Army and shot a beautiful Himalayan Bull Tahr at a range of 623 yards. He then went on to shoot his Red Stag at a range of 300 yards, as well as some Cull Fallow Deer at long range. Matthew had an awesome attitude to life and all of us at Lochinvar Safaris wish him all the best for his future. Matthew was accompanied by Rusty Hicks, Executive Officer of Combat Marine Outdoors.
