I was just curious to find out how many iit's, red hats and shoot bosses were in the state of MO. From what I see MO is falling way behind in events on the event board. I know it's not a competition from state to state, its about waking people up to truth and history and marksmanship. We need to get busier on scheduling shoots, i'm new to this and want to get as much done as possible. We need to find more ranges or private property owners willing to build a back stop or somthing. Maybe people already are. I was mainly just wandering about the instructor corp numbers. Look forward to hearing from people. Ben

Ben,
Thanks for starting this thread O0 One of the most effective ways to grow a state and get more shoots,hence more instructors, is for someone to take over the State Coordinator position. With out some one to fill this role, not much happens and the SC does not have to be of any particular grade. Bluehat, IIT or master instructor is not important. All that is required is to be motivated to grow the state.
That's four so far. Who else is ready to step up in Missouri?
Nearby border raiders are also welcome to chime in!
There have been 93 views on this thread, out of the 93 are there really only 3 instructors besides myself that are active.
Let me pose another question in case people keep checking back in: If you are reading this post and you know of a MO instructor or SB then please pm me there name so I can contact them to see if they are on board to get MO back in action.
Connibear
Mutti (Instructor)
RiflesNReins (IIT2)
KD Cat (AC - Just waiting for 13th Birthday to join the IIT Path)
"We stand with Missouri." - That should be a shirt!
We also have some new IITs who might be over.
I'm SBing the Houston AS but I live in KY. I am willing to do what I can, within reason, because of my location. Alkirer308 is the moving force behind the Houston shoot.
Hey connibear, there is a post on the SC area which will show you how to display instructor info for your state:

Scuzzy thankyou, that makes life a lot easier to find out who the instructor are, life is so much simpler now.
dond, i know ralph and he has worked hard to get the houston shoot going. thankyou for standing with MO. I should be able to make it to that shoot, i'll for sure in about a week. If i can make it i will send you a pm.
Mutti, thanks for standing with MO also. Where are you and the others you mentioned located at?
QuoteMutti, thanks for standing with MO also. Where are you and the others you mentioned located at?
We are in Southern Illinois (about 2.5 hours from Rosebud) - it's a long drive back and forth, but worth it!
There is the opportunity for KD to 400m - and Thursday has a big tractor/trailer we ride down on to check peoples targets.
Present and accounted for...SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to the Houston Shoots..
hey ralph, I am looking forward to it also. see you there.

I border raid from time to time. I'm planning on Rosebud and Wright City in Sept.
great. look forward to meeting you if you can make it.
I will be happy to work in MO. I have recently talked with some IDPA friends at ARPC and they are interested in hosting so I will copy you on any further correspondence/make intro's when it reaches that point. I tried to set up a shoot at Henges but they are not interested in allowing any semi-humanoid targets so unless we changed the red coat and AQT completely the state owned ranges seem to be out of the question.
Rosebud/wright city are definitely on my radar.
GO MISSOURI! O0
imadentist, we would be glad to have you to help out.
UL, thanks for the support, we have a long way to go, but I think we can get back into action and get things moving.
