RBC Tallahassee made a little nicer with our new shower house thanks to Timber Wolf.

Awesome job on the photo work Blind Dog and very fancy editing program artfully used! Thanks.

Ditto on the Timber Wolf shower house.

To say "a good time was had by all" may well be the biggest understatement of the year!
Thanks especially to hosts Ken & Lori as well as cooks and logistics magicians Todd & Joe.
Our surprise budding fife player was cool too. Thanks for sharing! Look forward to seeing what you do with the fife in the future.

Here's a link to a less than 3 minute short "campy" video for your amusement.
Lots of good giggles 🤣 and good shootin'  :---

Great times once again. I was pleased to spend 4 days at the IDMR this year. The company couldn't be better anywhere else! Special thanks to Todd, Joe and Ken.

With all of the cold weather gear in the pics, seems you guys had your own Winterseed!

Wish I was there, hope to be again some day.

For all of us "Sunshine Patriots" (which has a completely opposite meaning here in FL), it might as well have have been a Winterseed.

Once again an indelible memory of awesome days has been created   :)

Thank you Lori for most graciously hosting us all once again...! Thank you Lori and Ken for having had the long term vision to create the IDMR. Thank you for your generosity in all respects!

Thank you to Joe and Todd for once again not just "making food" for us but for providing us Haute Cuisine in the forest! Your service to us all is more than appreciated!

Thank you to TimberWolf for having provided us with luxury away from home! A hot shower bath house in the middle of the woods - priceless!

Thank you to all Instructors for every single thing you do - you make this all happen!

:F

My MVP vote goes to Tim, I felt like a Brand new man after those showers. 5 gal of HOT water seems to go so much quicker then 5 gallons of cold water.

Terrific week, as per usual at the IDMR.  Thanks to everybody for their contribution to a fine time.  Pearl sure misses y'all, she started her diet yesterday. :'(

You have to experience the KD from a physical perspective to appreciate an ENGINEER figuring out how make it Simple and Precise!  All those previous KD's sprinting, running, walking, golf-carting, and tailgating back and forth to the target line to check sighters and then firing after "knob twiddlin'" just to see some results.

I was LMAO today thinking about "knob twiddlin'", and the stoic Ken explaining how that is just crazy talk.

ALL of you extraordinary people gave me a Three Day Pass that is an unforgettable experience.  I really look forward to next year and the whole immersion.

Thank the Good Lord that such wonderful and exemplary people exist that know what they are about.  It was an honor to be in your company.

I was slow to accept it, but only hits count - only results matter. ACOG and RamblinWreck's first KD got me started. Ken cinched the deal. Zero at 25M. At 100 & 200 - hold at base of D. 300 hold dead on V ring. At 400 hold at top of the D. Watch what happens. I've seen it time and gain - beats the know twiddlers every time.  O0

This is always my most anticipated event of the year. It never fails to deliver on quality instruction, stories (history and others) great food and the best company you can find.
Thanks Ken and Lori you are fantastic hosts, Joe and Todd you exceeded all expectation and Tim you are the MAN, that shower rocks.
I look forward to next year and doing it all again.

Yep, BSZ works as advertised out to 400 yards. No worries about RTZ all day. Doesn't work as well when you shoot stage 4 at 600 like we do in Talladega. We had some guys with ACOG's shooting their holdover stadia two weeks ago with pretty good results though.


Looks like a great event. I need to get down there sometime. HUZZAH!!


See you on the line.
