MORE DETAILS!

Just got off the phone with Chris, and with his usual panache, advised me that dinner on Saturday would be "taken care of", with a BBQ in the works.  Other meals throughout the weekend are up to us, to keep cost down. 

The range/camping fee for this event is going to be $30/person/day, for a grand total of $60 per person.  If this amount would be a hardship, please send me a PM, and I'll get it taken care of; the last thing I want is for my fellow instructors to miss this opportunity due to cash flow problems. 

Be advised- this is not an official RWVA event, so there will be no reimbursement for travel expenses or food.  This is simply us instructors getting together to improve our own skills. 


Those that are planning on attending, please PM me with your contact information, including email and phone number.

I'm flying in to Tampa Friday evening...

look forward to being there Sat Morning and seeing all my brethren at RCR :)

I'll have two Garands and an AR on hand if anyone needs a "loaner".  I'll have plenty of HXP on hand as well.

Eric, PM me if you want me to help out with instruction.  I'll do my best to prep from here.  Feel free to work out how that new projector at the hacienda could work in. It needs breaking in for sure...

If we need a screen, Trey has one that I've already agreed to purchase.  If you'll pick it up, I'll wing him payment.

For the other meals, if you want to haul your smoker, I have mine as well.  I've been told my ribs turn out ok sometimes...

Let me know what we need to bring this off!  Otherwise, I'll just see you there!  ..:..

Bring: teachable attitude, sense of humor, Centerfire rifle and ammo + range fees at minimum

everything else is a bonus and if you need a place to stay or anything else, I'm pretty sure we can provide...

I have been looking forward to attending a KD Clinic since I moved up to IIT last  May especially since I have an new M1A that I got just for KD shooting. Unfortunately I can not attend this event due to a prior commitment for March 12-13 that is impossible to reschedule with such short notice.

May be the next time.

Theri-

While I cannot promise that we'll hold another one of these KDC's this year, you are ALWAYS welcome to attend the RBC!  (October 9-16, 2011)

The RBC should be on the schedule soon.

This is to all the others planning to attend the KDC at RCR this weekend.

As I am making my list and checking it twice to make sure I bring everything, my better half has rather pointedly asked me for emergency contact information - in case she needs to reach me.  As she said " I know you won't do something stupid, but you can't control others. so I need info in case you can't answer your phone".

Upon reflection, it seems reasonable to me that I should have some emergency contact information to provide her.  [and when I get there Friday afternoon I will give ItsanSKS and 9mm4545 my home information in case someone needs to reach my wife...]

Is there any emergency contact information available?

Thanks.

Read all together, it sounds like this event probably occurred as discussed. And likely successful too. Any plan to repeat? We have all new mgmt at work, and they think 3 days off is a gift from the gods of Olympus - guess they don't shoot much either - and an all-instructor shoot sounds like the best kind of company. Cooler weather is coming, though it's hard to believe some days . . .

I would also like to see an Instructor Boot Camp again as we have a number of new Orange Hats that haven't had the joy of one those either. I'll help...

Any event date at RCR can become a KDC easily enough.

Get me 5 IITs and we'll pick a date for an IBC ASAP.

Don't fergit the upcoming RBC in October!

A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.

For an IBC, we need at least 5 students. I know Rambo Granny and you would make two. Perhaps Mattra for three and FLawyer for four. Now all we need is one more and surely, somewhere in Florida there is a new IIT who would step up. The last IBC was in Tampa but all you really need is a classroom and enough room to do demos and a mock Appleseed. Any ideas? The whole thing can be done indoors so weather doesn't matter. Ammo costs (none) are very reasonable. ;)
The IBC is a great way to turbocharge your instructing abilities and only takes a weekend. Now, for the KDC. There are not many venues that can support one of those. Rocky Creek Ranch naturally comes to mind. Since camping out is the norm there, cooler weather would be a major plus for that. The KDC would greatly benefit with more instructors/students. If you come to the RBC in October, then you have the equivalent of a KDC (and much much more) but a full week is tough for many people to manage. On the other hand, would saving the country be worth it? If you could get a list of folks interested in an IBC (or KDC) and a list of possible dates, I feel certain that we can get something set up. Anyone want to chime in?

All though I have some what stepped down from an instructor role (mostly because of time constraints with my new job) I would be willing to attend an IBC AND a KDC again if its close enough.

I dont know if I could make it up state, but if its within 4 hours of SE Florida, Im in.  O0

I'll also NOT be able to attend the RBC, unfortunatley, as we have a baby due Oct 18, so the whole month is pretty much a no-go.

While I may be an eternal IIT, I still want to be the best I can and the IBC's and KDC's are great and well worth it.
