What's going on at the IDMR? A couple of weekends in July the first day (Sat) is a one day Appleseed and the second day (Sun) is a private event.
Just curious.

Hey AJ,
I've never actually been to the IDMR (for shame!), but since no one else has answered you, I will give it a shot.....
I heard (someone correct me if I'm wrong!) that IDMR favors one day Appleseeds during the extreme heat of summer, leaving Sunday for the instructors to have some fun. I was told when I became an instructor that I could forget about ever shooting again, but some good folks are trying to correct that maxim ;)
The attached picture should explain what happens at 400 yards on summertime Sundays.
Guys and Gals,
I appreciate the replies. My posting was triggered by the fact that I had never seen this happen before. Therefore I was intrigued. Makes sense. I did receive several replies via PM and everything jives.

I'll give my 2 cents worth. What you have heard is correct - a one-day Appleseed due to the extreme heat during the summer. In the past, very little participation on day two because everyone was so worn out from day one. So a one-day on Saturday and the option on Sunday to shoot on the KD range or just hang out and shoot some AQTs on the 25 m range. Whatever your heart desires on day two. i.e. - this past weekend Lucky Lori practiced her Stage 1 most of the day. I suspect her stage 1 scores will increase significantly (if that's possible - I think she is "shooting" for a perfect stage 1 every time - not just some times) I really appreciate that instructors are "expected" to shoot at the IDMR - I believe that you always learn something from instructing - and then on day two, get to hone the skills we instruct. Plus - you will see lots of hats earned at the IDMR due to the fact that we get to practice what we preach. It's a great place - anyone that has not been there should give it a "shot". Sorry couldn't help myself. :--- :--- :---
