Instructor BBQ?

To all instructors and family,
I am thinking it's well past time for a get together. some time to spend among our fellow instructors and families - away from the firing line. They make a nice morale booster and strengthen the bonds among the local cadre.

We did one years ago at Myakka - not sure if that is an option now, but I'll bet HSC would hook us up with a range and some space for a get together. Or, we can simply pick a house and do it - no shooting. I would be happy to host and cook.

Chime in with any suggestions (about the BBQ - I am already familiar with my myriad faults  ^-^)

I Fancy myself a pretty Decant BBQ cook. I make mean Spare ribs on the big green egg.   When is everyone thinking?

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.

Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.

Dates? If my memory serves me well, last one was the 4th of July 2012.

They are seldom lost, but when foolishly forfeited or tamely resigned." ~Jonas Clarke

Suggest Isaac Davis Memorial Range 7-8 May, before SUMMER comes. Camping, family friendly, covered 25 meter range, 400 yards of steel ringin for them that can.

why don't we find a weekend with no students?
I can talk to the Gwinn family about using the farm again.
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.

I like it!

Would still like to come to T-town if I can.

Ah yes, I see the instructor ranks are growing for the IDMR shoot this weekend on 5.14-15. 6 students and 16 instructors. Looks like a BBQ to me and an EPIC time for all. Lucky students with 2.6 instructors each. This will be interesting indeed........WOW!

Pistols? Why not? Goes bang, right?
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
