“No matter how bad it gets, you can always remember a time when it was worse.” Michael Jernigan
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - It only took a split second for Marine Veteran Michael Jernigan to find his target 50 feet down the range.
“I was just shooting a target, with an AR-15,” he uttered.
Jernigan, blind in both eyes, was able to hit his target with the help of a spotter on the very first shot.
The Iraq War Veteran served in 2004, when he was hit by an IED.
Jernigan lost both eyes along with his frontal cranium — he was hospitalized for more than a year, before extensive therapy.
After years of looking for healing, Jernigan met other blind veterans and began hunting with a non-profit organization based out of Tampa, Black Dagger Military Hunt Club .
Black Dagger Hunt Club provides shooting, hunting, fishing and outdoor opportunities for veterans and active duty military veterans.
