Attendance is strongly encouraged.

This is your single, best opportunity to meet a large portion of the Georgia cadre and talk, share stories, and learn from them.
Border Raiders are ALWAYS welcome!!!

Some of the local Instructors usually offer their homes up so ask around. I would, but my wife barely tolerates me.  **)

Blue Hats - get to know the instructor corps, see what goes on "behind the scenes", learn how to help run a safe event, learn/practice the points of instruction and history in case you might want to change your hat color in the future.  We want you doing POIs, breakouts, troubleshooting - everything!

Orange Hats - this is a great way to get a leg up for 2025.  You'll have ample opportunities to practice and polish your points of instruction, safety, and history skills.

Red Hats - we need you!  Our ideal ratio is 1 Red Hat for every 2 Orange Hats.  Plus, this event will help to shake out the winter cobwebs that may have grown on your perishable skills.

Shoot Bosses - You already know everything, right?  Great!  ALL Shoot Bosses should be at this event.
