Attention MO Appleseeders! Your Husker neighbors just got the final confirmations on a September Instructor Boot Camp and got it posted to the schedule. It will be a fantastic weekend and we've confirmed space on the 300 yd range on Sunday to run a lesson on how to instruct KD comeups and ballistics.

Misc: We have reserved some room on the 300 yd range on Sunday to show instructors how to teach KD comeups and ballistics, so bring a centerfire rifle with 100 rounds. In addition to the KD lesson, there will be hands-on demonstrations with training rifles. If you own a unique or unusual rifle, feel free to bring it along for the mock firing line training exercises.
Anyone who has been offered and/or accepted an orange hat can attend an IBC. There is a $70 fee for the first IBC you attend. Attendees must complete the IBC and then work a shoot. The IBC Instructor and the following shoot Instructor will decide their IIT level based upon performance and skills demonstrated. See . http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=10615 for official IBC information & policy. Bring a current Final Instructor Manual, paper, and pen/pencil.

*Update*
The IBC is going to have to be rescheduled. I'm kinda bummed, but I want to make sure you guys get a heads up and don't make the long drive in this weekend. There are several people who originally committed to the dates, but have had schedule conflicts come up for this weekend. We only have 3 IITs signed up, which is less than the minimum requirement of 4 and much less than what I had hoped to have with all of the NE IITs and a couple from surrounding states. I apologize if you planned on joining us this weekend. I'll get a new date confirmed and post to your state board once it's on the schedule.
Rescheduled!!! Nebraska will be hosting an IBC Jan. 29-30 in Lincoln NE at Ike's. If any of your IIT's or Instructor's are interested please come on out and pay us a visit! Check it out and get registered. See you in January!!
