Doug, My friend:
If you can hop a bus to Orlando, we can pick you up and keep you at the shop and give you a bedroom to sleep in at my house and drive you to Tampa and get you back on the bus with a $10 bill pinned to the inside of your shirt along with a note for the bus driver. and while we are at it we will feed you what ever you want to eat as long as it involves Sonny's
We are but human.

Did I mention that our sponsors, NHale and his brother, are planning to offer us a continental breakfast and a full BBQ'd lunch of pulled pork with trimmings at no cost? O0

Also, I must confess to a serious violation of protocol on my part. I am slack and have no excuse beyond laziness. I failed to get the info on this IBC to SavageShooter so that she could get it posted for preregistration. I just sent it in and if she gets time - she may post it anyway, so please keep an eye on the forum and if this IBC gets posted - please pre-reg.

As always, previous IBC / RBC attendees are welcome to attend at no cost as a refresher.

No PHenry... thanks for covering for me but it was a bit of slacking on both of our parts.

Here is the link to the Event page with the registration link. http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=15749.0

It make things easier on all concerned when the information is posted so we can keep track of what we do. Not only on a state basis but national as well.

Thanks for getting the information to me...

Thank you for the very kind offer, but I really can't make this one.

See you on the trail.

If you have multiple rifles, bring an unusual magazine fed one.  Not many of us have multiple rifle experience and it will be good to learn the intricacies of different rifles so we know how to help people on the line at events.


OK - To get people familiar with different rifle types, I will bring 3 rifles.

1)  Robarms XCR

2)  FN FS2000

3)  Marlin 795


As I implied above.  Learning how to set the safety, load, unload, hold open, clear jams on different rifles that appear at Appleseed events is important for instructors.  I'm not bringing an AR15 type as I am sure someone else will have one.

Regards...Martin


I guess I won't bring the Marlin 795.  Although I Rx'd the Numrich wooden stock, the swivel swings didn't arrive so no sling.  Thaifighter is bringing a Marlin 60 which is similar.

Not sure about the FN FS2000 as I don't have USGI sling mounts either.

Marrady,
We don't want all "perfect" rifles - we also need challenges to afford learning opps for new IITs. How do I get a sling on this? Improvise, adapt and overcome! Pull ties, bailing wire, etc.

The food was great, as was the location.  Thanks for taking the time and effort to get Appleseed the use of the facility.

As August has now opened up for me, I am jumping in and will be at Manatee/Myakka 28/29th August whilst it is still fresh and to help me get into a routine.

It was great meeting you all.

Regards...Martin

To all who attended the IBC. Please let me know who your next SB is and the event you intend to use as your "final exam" and I will send an IEF (instructor eval form) delineating your performance at the IBC. Remember what Fred the helpful says "This is a results based org - only hits count".  O0

Anyway - let me know so we can get you to your next "pay" grade ASAP!

Another comment on the found notepads..

Double check the Content on your yellow pad to make sure you didn't pick up an instructors pad. It is possible that the one left behind was yours and you picked up someone else's.

The white legal type pad contained ItsanSKS's detailed 10-22 sight picture drawing which makes me think it was one of the break room crew.

I missed the discussion of Instructor Clipboards, but this is what I have on mine:

Back:
Six Steps, 4 Safety Rules, Steps to 'Safe Rifle', Line Commands.

Front:
printed copy of POI, 1ea Redcoat and AQT (with Course of fire for each written on back)
Zeroing instructions for AR-15, 10/22 (with tech-sites) Legal pad for note-taking throughout the event.

Your clipboard may (will) vary.
