Fellow Appleseeders,
The Iowa Team is hosting an IBC this year in Des Moines, the weekend of 28-29 March!
Border raiders are welcome to join us! Who can come? It's for Instructors-in-Training, Instructors, Applecore, Shoot Bosses, and even crusty old Senior Instructors! If you are not yet a volunteer but have attended a 25m event and shot a Rifleman score, come on out!
Stuff you need to know:
1. Purpose. An IBC is THE best way to become better marksmanship & history teachers, away from the pressure of being in front of students. If you are an instructor, instructor in training, or interested in being a Project Appleseed Instructor - Sign up (https://goappleseednow.org/?event=des-moines-ibc-rifle-march-28-29-2026)!
2. Cost. Free to attend! Sign up (https://goappleseednow.org/?event=des-moines-ibc-rifle-march-28-29-2026)!
3. Format. Don't let the name Boot Camp intimidate you. This is a "gentleman's course". No push-ups, no hazing, no yelling. Most of our exercises will be in small,friendly groups. sign up (https://goappleseednow.org/?event=des-moines-ibc-rifle-march-28-29-2026)!

5. Patches? Yes! Attendance at this event qualifies you for your BOOT CAMP rocker. Sign up (https://goappleseednow.org/?event=des-moines-ibc-rifle-march-28-29-2026)!
6. Signing Up. If you've not attended an IBC in the last year or so, please sign up as a student. Sign up (https://goappleseednow.org/?event=des-moines-ibc-rifle-march-28-29-2026)!
Please pass this along to anyone you think may be interested. The IBC is the best method to learn how to teach the Appleseed way: with SIMPLICITY and PRECISION. Please join us and invite others as we spread the message of Liberty.
This is going to be a great event! Hope to see all of you there... so sign up (https://goappleseednow.org/?event=des-moines-ibc-rifle-march-28-29-2026)! ^:)^
