IL Instructors,

WI has an IBC scheduled for January in Hubertus.  They have invited any IL instructors that can make it.  Cinco and I have signed up. 

Hop over to the WI boards for more details.

Hope to see you there!!

I attended an IBC last weekend in Winterset Iowa. AFTERMATH from MN, was SB. Twineagles hosted the event, and Mrs.  Twineagles fed us. Can't beat that with a stick. Winterset is the birthplace of John Wayne, and is the setting for The Bridges of Madison County. April and May are scheduled full with 4-H Rifle Instructor duties. So Winterset was at a doable time, though at the end of a ten hour drive. So if presenting NPOA and MIC in front of a group of shooters just isn't terrifying enough, head out of state and present to a bunch of Shoot  Bosses and instructors. BTW: a highlight for me was an opportunity to present the 1907 sling. Someone mentioned in passing, they wanted to know how to install a 1907. I said that I had one handy. SB asked for a demonstration. I demonstrated 1907 foreward, 1907 backwards (ala Sgt. Jim Owens), and the old Williams Guideline version of the hasty sling.

It was good to meet you Rev.357.  Thank you so much for the 1907 sling demo.  I have never seen that in person.  Your teaching style and story telling was very well done.  We look forward to seeing you on the Appleseed trails in the future.
