Hi Folks,

As we posted on the California Board (http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=39946.msg286610#msg286610) we will soon be having our Annual Memorial Weekend IBC plus KD and BBQ. This is not restricted to CA instructors. If anyone would like to join us you'd be more than welcome.

Cheers
V and gonejohnny

Fellow Appleseed Instructors,

We're approaching our 2014 Annual Memorial Day Weekend Instructor Boot Camp (IBC) / Instructor BBQ & KD day at our range in Piru:
• May 24th / 25th will be the IBC.
• Monday May 26th will be the BBQ & Known-Distance shoot down on the main range (AQT's out to 400-yards!... also steel out to 1k).

IBC's are THE BEST WAY for new Orange Hat Instructors to really learn & understand our teaching methodologies and practices that are necessary for advancement through our ranks. They are also a great way for Red Hat Instructors / Shoot Bosses to not only brush up on our skills, but share our experiences with some of our newer recruits. Beyond the marksmanship teaching points, an IBC offers the opportunity for in-depth discussion on the history of April 19th, 1775: The larger & finer points of the stories, how to tell them... and perspectives on WHY we tell them. Camping is highly encouraged right on the range (primitive, no hookups or waste).

Instructor KD Days are an opportunity to have an 1000-yard range all to ourselves as Appleseed Instructors. Centerfire AQT's will be offered out to 400-yards (come get your "Full Distance" patch!). There is also steel flat out to 800-yards and even a 1000-yard shot available (come get your "Piru 1k Club" patch!). Our brother KoolAid will be providing some of the best BBQ in the west.

Please start thinking about your presence at this event.

Shoot Bosses, please start promoting this event to your local instructors.

Registration is free for all and available here (http://www.eventbrite.com/e/piru-ca-appleseed-instructor-boot-camp-may-24-25-2014-tickets-9442198871). The Instructor BBQ and KD does have a registration on eventbrite (http://eventbrite.com/event/9444068463) and is free but there is payment of the Piru range fees and a donation for the BBQ food is highly recommended. Its the Memorial Day Monday right after the IBC Sat/Sun. We'd encourage everyone to treat this as a three day event but we understand if you want to do one or the other.

Any questions contact me, V (http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=1374), for the IBC and/or  or gonejohnny (http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=14838) for the KD.

Oh, and just to be clear for IITs/Instructors: if you want to attend as a student instructor you sign up via eventbrite (I know its a long time since you did that as a shooter, seems like another life), if you are attending as part of the instructor crew you'd sign up via the TIPS sign up pages. If you want to help out with the instructing side contact me or johnny first before signing up on TIPS.
