Camp Atterbury, IN, Instructor KD Qual Weekend

[AuntieBellum]

If you're not an instructor yet...you still have time.    You just need two events, a 210, and take a hat before February 16th.   

CAMP ATTERBURY JMTC - INSTRUCTOR KD QUALS FEBRUARY 23-24, 2013

What is this?  This is not a public event; this is an instructor qualification.  There will be no instruction, some sighters to record come ups the first time only, and then we'll hit the AQTs hard and fast. 

Why come?  If you have a good rifle and known ammo and want multiple chances at a KD score, this is the event for you.  If you want to shake out a new rifle and don't mind limited chances to get data, being left behind, told to hurry up, and hearing "no, I don't have any idea how your scope works, don't you?", this is the event for you.  Later in the year we will have a full instructor KD weekend for learning and teaching.  All hat colors are welcome.   

- Bacon provided for Riflemen...READ EVERYTHING!!

RWVA registration can be found on Eventbrite and must be completed.
PM AuntieBellum for the registration link.

In addition, you must read and complete the following form. The following information MUST be completed and turned in to in@appleseedinfo.org one week (by February 16) prior to your attendance.  NO EXCEPTIONS. This information is a requirement of Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center (CAJMTC), and this information will be shared with Military Police and the Range Control office. Your information will not be used in any manner other than to allow your admittance to the installation and to contact you regarding this event.

Please copy and paste the contents of this page into an email, fill in the required information, and return to in@appleseedinfo.org.

__________________________________________

There some things about shooting at CAJMTC that you should be aware of, please read the following carefully.

1 - Start time - Checkin is at 7:30AM EDT. For those in most of Indiana, this is 7:30. For those in the Central time zone, it's 6:30 CDT. Safety briefing is at 8:00 sharp. We will not wait to get started. The day will be long and we can't afford to lose time here.

2 - CAJMTC firearms policy - No firearms. An exception is made for civilians for the firearms to be used on the range for an event. This means concealed carry is not allowed. If you or your vehicle are searched, your rifle information submitted by us is all that will be allowed on base. You will be turned away if not detained by Military Police and your event fees will not be refunded.

3 - Centerfire Rifle, Zeroed - Please make an effort to get a known zero prior to attending. 25m or 200 yds preferred but any known zero will work. if you are not zeroed we will make an attempt to get you there, but we will not dilly-dally for you.

4 - 350 rounds of ammunition - Make sure it is all the same as what was used to zero. For those with AR's, heavier is better. 62gr vs. 55gr, 75gr vs 62gr, etc... Make certain your rifle can accurately shoot the bullet weight you select. A 1-14 barrel will NOT handle 75 gr bullets.

5 - The elements - The known distance ranges are not sheltered in any way. If it's sunny, you will be out in the sun. If raining, you'll be out in the rain. If it's snowing...well, you get the idea.  Bring what's appropriate for you and bring cover for your rifle if precipitation is expected. Layered clothing is best so that you can adjust to the changing temps. Events are not canceled due to the weather (exception with extreme weather only. i.e. - tornado, severe storm/lightning). Do not bring portable shelter as the firing line will be moving frequently.  If there is snow on the ground, you may be walking through some large drifts on the range.

6 - Equipment: Sling, shooting mat, high powered binoculars or scope, two magazines, a way to take notes, ear and eye protection. Please note that ear and eye protection is required.  There is a limit to the number of vehicles on the range line. Participants must be prepared to carry their rifle, mat, and ammunition when needed.  We're not kidding.  There will be ONE 4x4 vehicle on the range serving as a medivac vehicle ONLY.  Carry your gear.  Test it out at home. 

7 - Hydration - make sure to bring enough water/gatorade/etc.. to stay hydrated.  Hydration is important, even in the cold.

8 - Food - There will be a designated time for lunch. Please bring what food you need. Leaving base for lunch is not an option and we will continue without anyone who is late returning from lunch. If everyone brings food that can be eaten on the fly, all the better.

9 - From the gate to the range control - Essentially, you continue through the cantonment area on the road you came in on. You will come to a stop sign across from the fire department. Range control is on your left.   Observe posted speed limits.  The MPs are serious.  DO NOT use your cell phone while driving.

10 - A $10.00 per day range fee is required from each shooter attending.  This includes Friday if you choose to come in Friday to camp (what better time to test out your winter survival gear?  ).  Occupation is Friday at 1800.  Any extra Friday evening help for set-up is appreciated as this event takes a lot of work to set-up and tear-down.

11 - This event could be canceled as late as February 22, 2013, at 1400.  You will be notified immediately if we are bumped off of the range.

__ I got it. <------------ You must read the above information and check/mark/X this item.

BUMP - Last call.  You have until February 16th (that would be this Saturday) to sign up and send in your info!!!

Attention all Attendees -

My brother has offered up his place of residence for anyone who'd like a warm place to sleep, hot showers, flush toilets, power outlets, etc.

I'll be there Friday after work and staying Saturday night as well. It's appx. 30 miles from Atterbury but it's a great option for anyone who doesn't want to camp at the range.

PM me for details and/or to confirm your intention to stay.

[AuntieBellum]

Thank you, Slim's lil'bro!  I'll send a PM to all registered to make sure they see this info!

[grunt soldier]

damn I need to get on it.  I officially got the days off to make this happen now.  I'll be filing out the form shortly.

[George63]

if any one is short of ammo for this, PM me -- or if this will use your supplies and you do not know where/ when you will have a chance to replenish, bring your brass and we can arrange a replenishment - 223 52 gr, 69 gr, 77 gr - 308/30-06 145 gr, 167 gr, 175 gr

i am on the fence on camping, if other people will be doing so, i am pretty much in. i live 30 min away, so its easy enough for me to just go home. although the other half may be looking forward to a weekend alone, lol.

[slim]

How much steel do I need to trade for some of that ammo, George? 

[grunt soldier]

all info sent and I'm signed up. 

I also sent you a pm George.

[George63]

How much steel do I need to trade for some of that ammo, George? 

fill the bed of a pickup truck and that should have enough scrap value to buy a few hundred loaded rounds

[AuntieBellum]

All participant and rifle info has been submitted.  If you decide now you want to bring something else...don't.   

[George63]

found some more projectiles in stock, so will be able to do replenishment for 223 69 gr, and for garand guys some 150 sierra boat tail match and 168 SMK - so if you want to do this, bring your brass to the event

[AuntieBellum]

*****UPDATE*****

Camping is no longer available on site for this event.  The reasons are many, including the fact that I am now the OIC for the weekend and have current health issues that require I find someplace to warm up overnight (not to mention that I won't even be in that part of the state until at least 10pm on Friday).  We will check-in and check-out each day.  My apologies for the inconvenience and change in plans.  I would highly suggest contacting Slim and taking him up on his offer to stay at his brother's.  If you're looking for a way to carpool Saturday PM to and from there, I bet we can find someone with some extra space to save you some driving.

Please be at Range Control by 7:30 am to check-in.  I look forward to seeing you all there.

Just to piggyback on AB's suggestion to stay at my bro's house - Everyone is welcome. The more the merrier. He's a great host and there's plenty of room for everyone to stay. PM me for details.

UPDATE 2:

This event is in serious danger of being canceled.  Unfortunately, it would seem the Indiana crew is destined to have more family issues than any one group of people should have.  While no one is to blame, we find ourselves in serious need of an additional RSO for this weekend's event. 

Here's what we need:
One person, who is already on the gate roster submitted earlier this week, to attend the Camp Atterbury RSO training at Range Control at 1200 on Friday, 2/21 (that's tomorrow).  Oh, and you'll need to pass the test (it is not a hard test - seriously).  This person will then sign out the range Sat morning with the OIC.  The RSO will need to remain on the range at all times the range is checked out (that would be all day Sat and Sun, but we're checking the range back in Sat PM and back out Sun AM).  If you can attend the training, please call me at: 608.469.5190. 

If no one is available to go to the training, the final decision will be made late Friday afternoon after checking on the health status of a current RSO's immediate family member.

Thank you all.
