Good job pulling this together guys...  I am going to try to be there.

LOL, it's hot, but it's a wet heat!

I just checked out the facilities for this RBC. 

You must be kidding:  "Range fee includes dormitory with bunks/mattresses, restrooms, showers, swimming pool, meeting hall/chow hall/kitchen....There is the possibility of having catered breakfast Monday through Saturday ...." 

But is there a Golden Corral?  That could be a deal breaker.

Ramseur 2-10!!

[4bfox]

Sie: Nope, sorry...no Golden Corral....you'd have to drive 40+ miles to get to one. But I CAN vouch for the breakfast cook...she is outstanding!

Greg: My Dad always used to tell me: "those trials in life that don't kill you, make you stronger"....guess he's right, I'm not dead yet!

LOL... I didn't realize that statement applied to getting a week off work and staying at a family resort with air conditioned dorms, a swimming pool, catered breakfast... AND GOING TO THE RANGE EVERY DAY!!!!  

I REALLY want to come to this... it ends a week before I take the bar exam, but I will REALLY try to come, even if its not for the whole time.  

I haven't seen any of you Kansas guys for a while... I'll have to come to one of your monthly Eureka shoots if nothing else.  I haven't seen that range yet.

[The Guy]

See you all there!

"wet heat"?

Sheesh.



Gonna be fun.

[4bfox]

Henschman: Hmmm...I didn't recall A/C in the dorms...so I called Larry, the camp director to clear this up. There are attic fans in the dorms, and ceiling fans in the meeting hall/chow hall. So sorry, no A/C. There are tables and chairs in the dorms though...so you could clean your rifle OR study for the bar exam...

[Greg in MO]

Guess I'll bring my camper.  It has A/C!   

And to think...  I'm originally from South Texas...  Now I am a humidity wuss.

Greg

[4bfox]

Greg: A/C?! Hmm..might not be a bad idea...maybe I'll bug Larry about opening up a couple of cabins..they have window air....a few lucky people might be able to upgrade for $20 or so. I'll check on that, I think they sleep 4.

On your camper...they have 110v power available, but limited to 10A service, so don't know if that'd work or not.

Agree with you on the "humdidty"....not a friend of mine. I think the pool will be a popular place....might even replace the campfire!

Too bad it's not a week AFTER you take the bar, that's when I really needed some R&R and back then I didn't shoot very much.
What are your test dates?  I'd like to keep you in prayer during that time.

I'm not going to be able to take the time off, but maybe I'll see if I can drop by for a day on the weekend.   

[4bfox]

Come on by whenever...you know we'd be glad to see you!

Yeah, I'm not sure that 10A would run my A/C.  Sounds like the cabins would be a good idea.  Maybe Guy and I can split one.

I have a mental list going of snorers and non snorers.   

You made the non list, so.....  Sure, if they are availible.

[Dinky Dao]

All, I told The ][rishman if he set up and RBC, I'd be out for it, so I'm in too.

Looking forward to it!

Greg...A/C?? Well now...I'm not even going to comment.

Sie...this is SOOOO awesomely amusing....I can't stop grinning

See you all there!

Thanks!  I take the exam on July 27-28... that's if I pass all my finals I'm taking this and next week, and get my writing requirement turned in on time.

Greg...A/C?? Well now...I'm not even going to comment.

Laugh it up, Lady in Black...  We'll see how you feel after a couple days of Kansas summer.  I'll bet you'll be want to hang out with us "cool" people then.

Gotcha!  You're on "the list" both for then and now.  I can't say that I remember those days fondly, . . . but I remember those days.

From what I recall from the hay-hauling days of my youth (a LONG time ago), the end of July/first of August was generally the worst of the summer in Kansas. Like I said....character-building.

Hey, couple questions for you guys with RBC experience.  About how much time is spent doing known distance vs 25m?  I'm trying to nail down how much of the expensive ammo I need to get ahold of.  Also, how successful have people been with an SKS out to 400 yds on these shoots?  I have plenty to run my Russian SKS with Tech Sights if I can't get enough 30-06 together in time for my M1, but I don't want to be fighting a rifle that just plain can't go that distance.  Any advice there?

Thanks!

[henschman]

I've shot my AK-47 with tech sights out to 400 yards, and it holds less than 4 MOA... its just a crappy Romanian WASR, so your SKS should be better, if anything.  Those Tech Sights really help out.  Just make sure you have a good adjustable sling on it, and you should be fine. 

I'm sure you'd score higher with your M1, but even if you find ammo for it, bring both rifles.  Its always good to have a backup rifle at a boot camp... from what I hear, they have a way of bringing out the worst in rifles!  Plus, it would be a great opportunity to figure out your come-ups for those tech sights.

[Greg in MO]

I'm not sure what the facilies are like exactly with regards to KD, but at the last Osage RBC, I ran KD Wed - Fri, so there was plenty of opportunity for people to come over and try out KD when they wanted to.  Typically you will shoot 25m until you get things down, then switch over to your centerfire and get it zeroed at 25, then move over to KD.

I'm sure we will figure out something at the KS RBC.  Partly it will depend on how the students are shooting early on.  If they need more work at 25m then we will concentrate on that I'm sure.  If people are on the ball early in the week we will do a bunch of KD.  Of course, it is all up to the SB technically...   

As for the SKS, why not try it at KD?  The only way you will ever know what it can do it to test it out.  That's what KD at Appleseed is all about.  Learning your equipment!  You will love shooting the Garand at full distance...  Trust me.   

Greg

[4bfox]

The SKS should do fine....when I had a scope on mine I shot it to 300 yards no problem. Now it has Tech sights on it for my son..

And I agree with Henschman...I know I'm bringing several rifles. Just got my PSL back from being Dura-coated and have a new scope to play with. Looking forward to it! And BTW, we now have a fully operational pool at the camp.

As far as KD, we have 400 yards for sure at the Winter Range, and an alternate site I'm checking out this week.

See you.....
