Engineer shooting

Appleseed, we're not snipers or bench rest shooters.  We're Riflemen - field shooters.  Our goal is to consistently hit a man-sized target out to the Rifleman's Quarter Mile. Rock solid fundamentals and BSZ is the key. With 25 meter zeros we discussed hold overs/unders, sight adjustments verboten, then properly applying these principles. 100% success ratio enough said.

The Battle Sight Zero-only steel target KD, the fast way to get instructors KD-qualified. Hmm, something is happening at the Isaac Davis Memorial Range (and Gardens) in Tallahassee.

The Shoot Boss spent 10 minutes explaining how it was going to work. Then we moved onto the range. The instructors/shooters:

At the Isaac Davis Range, practicality rules. If it takes a pink USGI sling to get the job done, well then . . .

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

It was educational. I learned to really check the zero--even if it was good yesterday. Ballistics tables can make for great reading if you are motivated enough. The Isaac Davis Memorial Range totally rocks! Lastly, if you have not already signed up for the RBC there in January, well, what are you waiting for? It will be EPIC and you really do not want to miss it.
The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation.  Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government. - Francis Grund 1837

Use this link to register: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/tallahassee-fl-rbc-month-january-24-29-2016-tickets-19472430564 As an IIT, you would have to pay for the first RBC (unless you fit into one of the "free" categories) but all subsequent RBC's would be free. Here is a link for Appleseed fees: http://appleseedinfo.org/tips/faq.php#fee01 Instructor Boot Camps are free and it is likely that we will have another sometime early next year. IBC's are a great way to become a better instructor in only one weekend. See you in NSB this weekend!

H Bruce,
How about Redhats that have attended an IBC but not an RBC? Do we register as a student on Eventbrite?

As far as I know, Red Hats can sign up as students or instructors at a RBC. Students: Eventbrite; Instructors: TIPS. In any case, a Red Hat signing up as a student would be free.
