Title: First Arizona RBC?
Post by: AZOpie on February 12, 2011, 11:44:27 PM
Who's up for a week in northern Arizona for an RBC (rifleman boot camp) this summer? One week getting the finer points of rifle marksmanship. Camping is available on the site - everything from RV spots to unimproved camping spots. The weather should be great for a June event! Elevation is t 5300, so it would be a great time of year to shoot there. A little west of Seligman.  Speak up, let me know what you think...

Sounds like a great idea, although I won't know until the schedule on a project we just started firms up a little if I'll be able to take a whole week off in June.   ~~:)  I should be available to work for at least part of the week.

Are we shooting or coaching?  Is it camping only?  Or is there lodging available close by...

Might be fun

Sorry it too so long to get back. Shooting or Coaching - probably a bit of each. The location has a lodge we can use, it can accommodate quite a few people. I would need to work out the details on that. So far I have not heard enough voices speaking up to set up an RBC, hopefully more will chime in.

How much do you think this would cost?

Two Wolves -

The pricing would be the same as other RBCs - here's a link to the Raton RBC so you can see what that looks like:

There are no range fees at the proposed location, and there would be no cost for camping on site. I will have to check on cost of using the lodge.

An RBC would count as a vacation for us, so while I could talk AZsainted Bride into a week of shooting, it better have a pretty good hotel/bar/spa and restaurant for it to qualify as a "vacation."

Are you guys bringing your spouses?

I will be trying to bring the whole family. It's great family time. Denise loved Ramah - I had to drag her off the line last summer....

Based on PM's and posts, we look to have 7 or 8 interested parties at this time...

I don't know if I can do a full week, but I'm willing to help out with a few days worth.  Leaving current job for greener pastures at another employer, and I have no idea what the summer work schedule would look like, or likelihood of having that much vacation saved up by June.
