The Exploits of Chief AJ

About the Book

John “Chief AJ” Huffer comes from a small town in Illinois, but throughout his lifetime he’s become known worldwide for his marksmanship accomplishments. In The Exploits of Chief AJ, author Chuck Vaughan looks into the life of Chief AJ, a Native American, Christian, US Marine, and former bodybuilder who worked out with Jack LaLanne. In 1987, Chief AJ broke his first world record by throwing and shooting 40,060 wood blocks during eight days through pain and weather without a miss. He went on to break records with air rifles, long bows, a two-hundred-pound English war bow, and slingshots. Throughout his life, he stayed busy participating in different types of exhibition shooting. Chief AJ set up rifle camps and trained instructors to teach others to shoot the Chief AJ way. He always maintained his fitness and won fitness contests into his seventies. He’s been to Hollywood and featured on shows like Discovery Channel’s Top Shot and National Geographic’s The Unbeatables. The Exploits of Chief AJ shares the story of this storyteller with a booming voice, now in his eighties, who found success in the world of marksmanship and shooting. www.chiefaj.com
