Alright, here is the lowdown.
Mudcat has secured the 500 yard range at Red Brush in Evansville for Saturday. We can occupy the range Friday night. Camping is available.
I still have the D centers, pasters, radios and glue from the forlorn Atterbury debacle, so we are good to go on that front. Everyone is welcome. I see no reason why, at this point, we shouldn't invite friends and family that are competent marksmen as well to share the fun as long as they aren't goofballs and can keep up.
I am guessing that AB will probably stay north (though it would be awesome if they made it) so I will move into the SB position and Mudcat will run the line with me. Since we just have it for the day I reckon we will just streamline it, keep instruction to a minimum, and just get comeups and shoot AQTs. If folks show up sorted out I see no reason why we cannot comfortably get comeups for everyone and shoot 3 or 4 AQTs. In addition, I suspect a large dinner somewhere with screaming, yelling, and accusations will round out the evening.
Respond in the Indiana thread under the same name so we can get an idea for numbers. No, I won't hold it against Michiganilators who don't want to drive across the country for not showing up.
huff
(PS- No, the ammo will not be free. Brown and I discussed it and he feels that it would not be in good faith to use it outside of Atterbury. CJ wanted to donate the ammo as soon as he saw our operation in June and we stated that it would be used by instructors at the base. Brown is going to sit on it until we can get a reschedule date for CAJMTC)
Thanks for making the effort to set up an alternative.
I'll have to pass, and will plan to attend a future Atterbury event.
