Title: Rust, Ramseur, and Road Trip
Post by: Miller on January 12, 2014, 05:16:41 PM
So due to a variety of issues I got sidetracked off the trail shortly after last summer's IBC. 
Seemed every time I was either signed up to work a shoot or was about to sign up something went to hell and I ended up spending the weekend elbow deep in an engine, pulling doubles at work, or sitting in waiting rooms waiting to hear from vets or doctors.

Basically the second half of 2013 was a regular ball of suck.

As such I've not gotten the chance to spend a day at the range in longer than I care to admit.
Dry firing at home is a great tool but squeeeeeeeeze *click* is not squeeeeeeeeeeeze *BANG*.

I sorely need to knock off the rust. 

Further I haven't worked a firing line in months and am rusty there too.

And I've never gotten enough time on my Garand to claim to be proficient with it.


So....
God(s) (and bank balance and work schedule) willing I'm signing my rusty, couch softened butt up for the March RBC in Ramseur.  Lord knows I need the trigger time, the center-fire time, and the KD/FD experience.

And a full week with my Appleseed family will be just the tonic my soul needs.


So would anyone care to come with?
It's a bit under 14 hours from here in Davenport to Ramseur and the company would be most welcome.

Hey Miller
If you don't get to work it out, we're trying to get a RBC set up in Central Nebraska.

An RBC in central Nebraska would be fantastic.  I'm ready for another.  I'll be there!  Only tied up on the last weekend in July this year.  RODGE

It's far from being a done deal but our SC is working on it.
