April 10th NRA Training Class & Shoot
April 10th, PROMPTLY at 6:30pm, we will be holding a training session and shoot for those working the NRA convention in Indianapolis this month. This will take place at the Bedford DAR, aka "Casa Chilidog".
The first part to this will be a dual part indoor class where attendees will get instructions on how to stay on message, avoid problems with the press, and what jobs they are expected to fulfill. During that class attendees will also be graded on how well they concealed any pistols they plan to carry at the convention.
After the class ends, we will immediately retire to the range and have a pistol competition with same concealed pistols. The contenders will scored. Then points will be brutally subtracted for printing and any other failures to conceal that took place during the class session.
The cumulative winner will take home an amazing prize. AMAZING!
You all need to be at this event if you possibly can. It will be very informative and helpful. Also, loud and fun.
A course of fire will follow.
Will plan on being there. Can talk for a few minutes about "Industry Group" if needed.
But, I heard on INGO that only criminals and Texans conceal their pistols...

We can discuss that at the meeting. You ARE coming, right?
Is OC not authorized at the convention? Are we also doing our best to conceal any pistols we may be packing?

OC is allowed at the convention hall. For media reasons, CC is the dress code for the event itself. I will confirm this with HH as he is the EventBoss tonight on the weekly conference call.
Here are the details:
At my house at 630 pizza and drinks provided (milk, water, soda pop!)
Want sweets? Bring em! Instruction and contest starts at the door.
You will have to complete certain tasks without flashing your gun or ammo storage device to the judges. Anyone who drops their gun is DQed! Remember you will have to draw your weapon so if you store it in your $&#%@ ......well there will be witnesses and photos posted. No Monkey But!!
positive points for:
Largest caliber
most ammo concealed
Negitive points for:
more clothing than one shirt. (Pants and shoes are required to enter home)
Showing your gun or mags or ammo carry device.
failing to defeat all targets.
course will include steel and cardboard targets ( if you bring your 22 pack a lot of ammo)
minimum round count 16 with no limit on maximum you can carry.
no cost. NRA workers only. Winner takes home BC bomb!
I need a head count for pizza order. As always if you dont like the judging you may protest but you will only be ridiculed! More rules may be added just because its Bedford and we make it up as we go.

My house is one drive East of BC entrance on the South side of the road. AS signs will be posted.

Dress Code? What and how I carry depends on my dress code for the day. What will our dress code be for the NRA convention?

Thanks for asking. I've been wondering myself for a while now.
Soooo ... black slacks/pants and polos. Any specific color for the top?
How long are you intending on this lasting? I would love to come, but 0330 comes early in the am.
Should be done by 830.

We are trying to make a polo specific to the event.
:P
S2S, HOM & LL makes 7
I'm in.
I've signed up to help during the convention and will plan on attending this informative primer.
Are handguns required for entry into this event?
I am not at all familiar with Bedford ... any chance you can post a street address so that I can Google directions? Heck, just post driving directions and save me the time. Maybe a phone number in case my hillbilly GPS gets wonky?
Guns not required.

I won't be able to make this, but I'm pretty good at wearing pants and stuff. I'd probably win.
BH, TJ, Rain, The Montgomery makes 11.
3650 Springville Judah Rd Bedford IN 8123220897
Guns are not required. But its Bedford. Its the BOMB. Its merica!
Unfortunately I will be out of town that day.
TJ - Head south out of Bloomington on 37. Bought 20 minutes down the way hang a right (turn West) on Washboard Road. Keep bearing West about a mile, Chili's place will be on the left. Ifn you see the big Appleseed sign in front of the barn, come one drive back east.
seems there should be points awarded for largest frame or highest capacity handgun. Just cause I dont carry that slow as molasses cartridge should not loose points :cool2:

If you shoot twice at each target then you could throw as much lead as the big boys do. See, you can overcome if just put you mind to it. Dont resort to name calling just cause your smaller, just remember, your faster....you have more oppertunity to shoot at the same target. Come on ahead and bring your gun I am sure the bigger boys will still let you play.
All I gotta say is you guys are lucky I have an Appleseed that weekend. Otherwise I'd be there with my AK pistol stuffed down the front of my pants.
Now that's a Bedford kind a guy!

...and totally win the competition, both the shooting and concealing portions of it. For real, have you seen this operator class shooter dual wield his double-stack .45 1911 and AK pistol, with a .50 strapped to his back?

Uhmm Slim, you do realize that April 10th is a Thursday, as in, not the weekend. More like the day after hump day. ;D
Charlie dont care what day of the week it is.
Will there be a training class for those of us that can't make it until the night before convention? BTW ... is there a schedule out yet?
I have no information and it's coming up quick.
AB is working on updating the scheduling and yes there will be an option for those that can't make it.

So... so..... so......
Who has the bomb? And where are all the pictures?
~
Here is the looowwddooowwwnnn! Bomb went to Big Bad Brown at 126 points! The rest lost by alot. 2nd place was The Montgomery at 35. 3rd was Wrightman at 17. The only near accident was super Heat who tried to drop 2 in my TV! He came in 8th at -7. SPQR followed him up at -17. The only tie was for last with Locktite and Stagehandsteve at -38. It was a great shoot and the insrtuction was good too!
HEY TJ! :pics:
Next time I'm bringing a pistol ... it'll be much easier to miss the targets than post pictures ... grrrr
However, as it got darker, the photos got more character ... a few muzzle flashes and a bright red dot were captured.
All the photos are in Photobucket. I believe that if you click on this link, you can download any of them for your use.
