Title: NY Instructor get together
Post by: B9 on March 01, 2010, 08:31:43 PM
Lets do this before April 17-18 weekend. Mid-late March? I know we have the IBC coming up but this different. It is important as many of us as possible meet up.
Could be a one day thing....or ???

Please let me know if B-Flats can be of any help, I will check our schedule for a date,, we can have it there if you would like. I'll be in Manheim, PA on the 20th and 21st for that shoot.  sgtrock

I like this idea.  I think we should compare history notes over steaks and porter at Peter Lugers.

What say thee, o my brothers and sisters? 

Everybody else is doing it.

Where does he live? Central to everyone...or should I say the majority?  >:D

I will be in Bennington w/ Buzzworth on 3/13 planning for the 4/17 & 18 shoot; I will be working the Manheim shoot w/ sgtrock on the 20th and 21st; and the IBC is the following weekend.  That leaves this weekend, next Sunday 3/14, and the IBC (which may turn out to be the best option).  If we had to we might sneak it into 4/3, but Easter is the 4th.

Let me know where and when...

Right back at you buddy. You all sort it out and I will be there.
I work a weekend or two per month but with a weeks notice can rearrange that.

..I am in @ 90%...lets get a date and place, I am flexable..
..March 20-21 is out..
..the IBC in lake George, what does the turnout look like?  If no one is signed up could we highjack the place and turn it into a history IBC...just an idea, no disrespect if IIT's are signed up already..
..April 3rd the day before Easter, central like Albany?....just an idea..
..Maybe Burlington Flats, for a sleep over?..

OK, that's fair.

     Let's hear from the rest of the NY crew - what does your March calendar look like?

     Stoner, Tanker or Xena - would you please check to see if the clubhouse at Burlington Flats is available on the 14th of March?  Thanx!

     And kDan - what's the deal on this fellow Peter Luger?  Was this joking, wishful thinking, or a viable option?  I've not known you to joke before...

     I can have folks meet at the food bank in Latham - we have a huge meeting room, full kitchen facilities, fast food nearby and a great Greek diner within walking distance; and we're about three minutes from Exit 4 off the Adirondack Northway.  Unfortunately, our Board of Directors has swallowed the 'disarmed victims are safer' nonsense hook, line & sinker, so plan accordingly...

     Any other ideas out there?  C'mon - let's hear 'em.

The weekend of the 13th is not good for me.

You guys going to Manheim make sure to build in time to hit Cabellas

The IBC for March 27 & 28th as of now only has 5 registered. Is there a way to combine the two? How about Dinner after the Sat IBC class? I'll be going to this IBC and this would eliminate two trips upstate (for me).
With this said I'm not sure if I fit into the "Instructor" category.
Is this for Red Hats only or IIT's also?

IITs are Instructors, so your good there. ;)

Not a bad idea as Nickle and Firewall will also be there but...... I do not want this to interfer with the IBC.

Totally understand and respect your concern.....However, after the Sat IBC everyone will want to eat. If properly planned I don't think it would interfere with the IBC.
This is just my opinion though.

This may serve to get more folks into town for the IBC... or not.

I'm behind you 100% re: saving three and four hour trips up and down the Thruway.

FWIW, I spoke with Buzzworth last night and he's about 90% sure he'll attend the IBC in LG as well.

Yes, planning is crucial - that being said, we'd love to hear from some more of the 23 NY instructors.  Everyone is welcome here!

..Do you really think we can cover the information properly over dinner? or do we need more like a morning into a afternoon type setting with tables to take notes and quiet to discuss all the details of the history? There is a lot of information to cover. If the purpose of this is to get the history down to a science, I just think through my own experience it always takes longer than you think to do something. Especially when there is pleanty of people and ideas flowing around..A full day is what I think it would take, so please think about how long it would take to go through the first, the second, and the third strikes, dangerous old men and also discuss the points Fred wants covered and to outline the information and walk away satisfied that we now have a proper outline of the events of April 19th 1775.....I think 6-8 hours is a real time frame.....I could be over analizing this and the higher- ups may have a more consilidated plan of action, and thats fine.

OK....Makes sense. How about adding a day to the IBC. Either the Friday before or the Monday after. This way some of us will already be up there. Just trying not to make the 2 trips.
I know this may mean taking a day off from work for most (me included) but still better than 2 trips.
Again thoughts?

I can do an extra day, on either side of the weekend.  And that opens up more possibilities...

History standards.  I think we could run through what's needed in a couple of hours.  Discussions about different techniques can take place later, on the forum or wherever, but we should go over what is essential for events first.  I'm not against making a day of it, but an evening or morning would suffice.

Let me know where and when and I'll cancel everything, lock up my kids, fore-warn AAA, quit my job and be there.

I have good news and bad news...  You can decide which is which...

I'm going to the NY IBC too.

I think combining the get-together with the IBC is a great idea.  If you want to talk NY-only stuff for longer than would take over Saturday dinner, you have several non-NY people around to run the IBC while you go off and do your thing.

Two of your five IBC participants are probably switching to a MA IBC that we're having the first weekend of April.

If you want to really set people's hearts on fire with The Story, I recommend you guys also come to the MA IBC for at least Sunday 4/4.  We will be going up and down Battle Road again with a better plan this time.  If you're a red hat or have already gone to an IBC it's free.  Sunday will be 100% telling The Story.  All riflery will be done on Saturday.

LOL, I seem to have infuriated poor nyrasgt, who wrote me an angry PM accusing me of poaching. 

All I did was ask all the MA (and Maine) IITs if they'd be available for a 4/3-4 IBC and of several responses, two said they'd switch from a 4+ hour drive to NY to an IBC in their backyards.   @)

The real problem is what about getting more new NY IITs to the NY IBC?

I'm considering changing the MA IBC to an unofficial one day (maybe the third day of the NY IBC... Hmmm) just doing history up and down Battle Road on Saturday 4/3 to rectify this alleged so-called poaching.  But then I lose several people who weren't planning to go to the NY IBC anyway.   :wb:

Would any NY guys come down to Lexington and Concord just for one day?

I am sure infuriated is an exaggeration.

I saw that coming a mile away. The IBC in Lake George is the first AS "event" at that range and nyrasgt worked hard to get it.
We sometimes get too into the state thing.
Any NY IIT that can attend a walk down the trail with Crak should do so. I will even give you double pay to do it.  :)

Not sure how happy I am that NY IITs are so willing to get into it with SIs but............that can be discused at the next get together.

No worries B9, I wouldn't have LOLed at him if it was actually getting ugly.   ;D

I am changing our IBC to an unofficial 1-day event up and down Battle Road focusing on telling The Story.  That's more fun than the rifle stuff anyway.  Will figure out exactly which day it's going to be soon.

Your NY IBC still seems a good place to do a NY get-together, especially since it'd be so nice to see all of you again.   ;D

Yes, agreed.  We (OK, actually I) have gotten off mission.

     The general consensus is to do the history meeting during the same weekend as the Lake George IBC.  Several SIs have indicated they think this meet shouldn't take much more than two to four hours tops.  Many of the IBC attendees will be coming in from out of town, and thus may be arriving Friday afternoon or evening.  This gives us an opportunity to have our NY Instructor Meeting Friday evening, either over dinner or thereafter.  The basic talking points of the Preliminary Events, the Three Strikes and the Aftermath can be found on Firewall99's Downlaod Page (http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=7406.msg68463#msg68463 (http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=7406.msg68463#msg68463)), about one third of the way down the page.  This provides us with an outline to work with, assuming these notes are acceptable.

     How am I doing so far?  I know we will not be able to accommodate everyone's schedule - we're just trying to cover as much ground as possible with the time and resources currently available; and it is preferable to do so without racking up a prohibitive amount of mileage for those who must travel.

     So, can we agree upon Friday evening, 3/26?  If so, I'll begin working on the venue...

Working on it.  We're leaning toward ordering in off an Italian take out menu, meeting at the Dunham's Bay clubhouse (but nyrasgt is checking to be certain we can get in on Friday evening).  Until I hear otherwise, that's the plan.

     6PM?  Can we make it by then, or back it up to 7 or 8?  I'm asking you out of town folks - let me know...

OK folks - we're all set to meet at 6 PM at the Dunham's Bay F&G Club on Lake George (directions are here: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=11531.0 (http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=11531.0)).  This is the same location as the IBC for the weekend.

nyrasgt and myself have been kicking around ideas for what to eat.  I'm thinking order from a local Italian place for delivery, and Mark will collect a couple of take-out menus from some local establishments.  We could also do a sandwich platter form Hannaford Price Chopper, our local super markets.  Your input on this is requested and appreciated!

Are we agreed that Firewall's Heritage Notes will suffice for the refresher?  If so I can print out copies for everyone if needed.

If anyone has any questions, special requests, etc. be sure to let me know so they can be addressed.

Including myself we have six confirmed for this meeting.  Anyone else who plans to attend please sound off here.

I'm signed up for the IBC and would like to attend the history portion on Friday evening.

Any chance for Dirty John's hot dogs on the menu?

Although I'm not personally familiar w/ Dirty John's Hot Dogs, a quick Google of the subject suggests that I should be.

    It sounds like you're referencing New Way Lunch on South St in Glens Falls - they seem to be the local purveyor of Dirty John's.  I will make a call and find out what their hours are, etc.  I see no reason why not - I'm always up for something new, especially if it's tasty!

No, unfortunately this is the club that will not allow us to camp there, at least not for this event (the IBC).

     FWIW, I live about 45 to 60 minutes south of Glens Falls, between Albany and Schenectady and convenient to I87, I90, I88, NYS 5  and NYS 20.  We have a (nearly) finished area in the basement (roughly 20' x 10') where we can accommodate maybe six 'campers' - tile floor, clean & dry, heated, cook stove fridge & coffee maker, and a 2/3 'private' bath.  Folks are more than welcome to stay here - just understand that if you're allergic to animals (cats, dogs, parrots, etc.) this may not be your best option.

There is (was?) a New Way Lunch at 731 Glen St. in Queensbury.

But I'm forgetting my manners  :-[ - I'll drop by on my way in and pick some up.

Dirt Dogs! Yummy!  ^:)^

Troops:
   1)  Dirt Dogs are local delicacy from Dirty John's...hot dog w. onions and special sauce that closely resembles...well, dirt...though does not taste like it.  Are locally famous...and are, basically, hot dogs.  As ADOM says, there are lots of restaurants and take-out places...perhaps even (for some legendary instructors...a Golden Corral - will start researching locations...
  2)  DB F&G not willing to let us sleep there - this time - they need to be convinced that we'll be responsible with their club...
(as if...).  Suspect if we impress them in March, the policy will be changed for AS in May...
  Heading for US Mil Acad after school - let me know if anything else I can do/help folks with as LBOTG...
Excelsior,

Yup - apparently they've moved down the street.  Same place, family owned and in operation since 1919...

Not at all.  In fact, there still has been no decision made about lunch on either Satruday or Sunday for the IBC.  From what I've seen of their menu and ratings, New Way is a prime candidate.

     Of course if you're really jonesin' for the Dirty Dogs, you may need to arrive early on Friday and get one, then continue eating them throughout the weekend...

Okay.  I'll be there.  JW - I'll take care of the fuel if I can control the radio.   ..:..

Crak, what is it with you Boston troublemakers?  Do you think we're all yankee fans and you gotta do what you can to mess us up, or are we still fighting over that NY/NE border line?  jk - Look forward to seeing you bro.  BTW, have you done your SI KD qualy?  Maybe we can work something out together with Nickle.  Or if you've done it, you can sign me off if we can find a range.  Love to make the Battle Road deally.  We'll see.  My son is about old enough to run around but too young to listen, so maybe I'll bring him along.  Definitely a must for my sullen teen-age daughter.

Are these dirty dogs anything like Teo's Hot Dogs in Pittsfield, Mass?  They look like dirt too, but taste like onions and heartburn.  Delicious.  I can eat like 9 of them.  Peter Lugers got nothing on Teo's hot dogs.  Crak, maybe you can stop off in the Berkshires and grab some for a taste test?    :) ??? :P :-[ $$-0

In Syracuse I think there are more Sox fans than Yankee fans.

Thank God.

I think the IMC drills would get tiring before they cross the Hudson.... I can hear it now:

"You shoot a brown bess musket 11" high at 980 yards, how many clicks?"

Is that the Boston Revere sights or the Philly Franklins?
Title: Re: NY Instructor get together
Post by: gunville on March 12, 2010, 11:54:35 PM
Well, it's a trick question:

First, a Brown Bess doesn't have sights,

Second, 11" at 980 yards is a little over 1 MOA high... I'm calling that good enough.

Third, if you load enough powder into a Bess to shoot 980 yards, you probably don't have to worry about IMC any more.

A.D.O.M. - I know you asked someplace in hear what material to use...

If you look in "Instructor Corps" section Fred has issued guideposts for the second and third strike.  I expect he'll churn out the first strike soon.

This might be the overview for this meeting. 

I guess we might be a bit long winded on our history compared to some - someone noted each strike should be 20 minutes. 

I generally do the second strike in an hour, and I had to work hard to cut it down to that. ::)

I've been making hard copies of all to hand out, will make copies of the guideposts  for the meeting and LG IBC.
If any one has material for them, pls PM. Have made copies of new manuel and other reference material for hand outs.

I've called New Way Lunch to ask about their hours, etc.  They're usually open 'till 11 PM or later (much later on weekends), they do have a take out menu, and they do not deliver.  We'll have to see about picking up a menu on the way past Friday...
