is any one looking to going to the riflemen boot camp in douglas WY in june 8-16??
this is the only riflemen boot camp that i have found on the west coast and i would really like to go to it but looking for some one to go with. Hopefully there will be .22lr ammo some place so we can shoot for a week. I live in Great falls mt so we could carpool down there and i will pay for the gas seeing as iam in the USAF and would not have to pay for the class. any way hope to hear from someone
Sent you a PM.
I'm a tentative on this - still need to ask my boss if I can get the vacation. Trying to decide whether to do the IBC as well. I would be coming from Idaho Falls.

If you are going to attend the RBC, it would be wise to attend the IBC, as part of the RBC experience.
The 3 events over 9 days are really intended to be experienced as a single event by participants.
The schedule has the IBC and RBC overlapping by one day. How does that work schedule-wise? Is it because they are intended to be integrated? My intent would be to stay through the AS (as an Orange Hat).
Yep, integrated, that's exactly right. And after the IBC and RBC, you'll actually get to help work the AS as an IIT.
Gotcha. I've written my note to remind me at work tomorrow to request the whole batch of dates. :)

The IBC is designed to give IIT's the opportunity to improve their skills and work on their PC's. Sunday they work with the students of the RBC. The following AS gives new IIT's from the RBC students to work with.
Drop me a line if you need more info
i would like to do all the parts IBC RBC AS and make it a whole 9 days but iam still looking for someone eles to go with. they do say some thing about free camping i asked the chamber about that and they said it is for one night so iam thinking you would have to break camp each day to me that is not so cool. so if you are comeing from ID we could meet up some place and car pool any one else comeing from ID MT???

Less than $100 for the whole 9 days.

I figure that's probably the best bet, if some of us coordinate (same price for 1 person as for 4 - $194.40 when the nights are added on the 7th and 16th due to travel time). Anything cheaper is over 20 miles away and not reservable.
Last year at the Douglas boot camp, attendees camped at the range.
The weather was hot and dry, The wind blew my tent apart, it hailed at 5 AM. I was only there for two days.
Great time, good folks, come prepared for the same conditons that Great Falls, and Idaho Falls, get in June.

Actually, probably even less with an advance reservation:

Summer Blast!! Stay 2 nights gets 3rd Half Price!!
Make an advanced reservation for a stay during the months of June and July, stay 2 nights and get your 3rd night at Half Price!!!

Apparently this is for a past year and they haven't updated their website. A different set of hot deals is listed on the reservation site. http://koa.com/campgrounds/douglas/hot-deals/ :(
OK so PM me if you would like to go in on a Cabin at the KOA i did the price check and it was about $519.00 for 4 people 7-17th of June that is about $130 per person if we split it. so i hope to get some PMs

This is still an option, gives time to get to know your fellow instructors in a relaxed camp fire type situation.
thanks for the info Colonial shooter i sent you a PM and i hope alot of other people are planing on camping at the range

And would be my preferred option. :) Thanks making the option known.
OK, I'm officially a "go" with approved vacation time! ^:)^
I'll work on registering for the IBC and RBC later this week. I'll be staying for the AS as an IIT.
Outstanding, FollowThrough!
We've less than two weeks to go! I'm definitely looking forward to it.
If anybody will be passing through SE Idaho or western Wyoming, PM me about carpooling if you're interested. I'm fine with driving the whole way, but it's more enjoyable with others. I'm going for the full IBC/RBC/AS series, so driving over on the Friday prior and returning the Monday following.
I'm camping at the range. Any special considerations other than no running water (I have three 5-gallon jugs and a shower for that, I'm assuming we can refill somewhere in town)?
We are looking forward to a good 10 days. There is water in town. Drive safe, and pm me for contact info. See ya there.
