AFTERMATH

March 14, 2011, 11:21:07 PM Last Edit: March 15, 2011, 09:56:35 PM by AFTERMATH
IBCB:  AFTERMATH

RH:  vmt193, sparks1, Sven, Cooper, Brad76

IIT:  Kosciusko, adamt, FreedomV, CDT, Blue Five, BrassBucket, TheDud, 7.62, Phoenix Man(Had to leave early - family emergency)

Location:  Winona Sportsman's Club, Winona, MN.


What's better than an intense two-day knowledge dump upon the minds of those who are the future of the program?  
Answer:  A two-day knowledge dump upon the minds of those who are embarking upon a journey to save America!

Anyway, we didn't have a 'bar' as we did at Pappy's place a while back, but we adapted. ++)
No ND(nown distance) shooting like at JoeZ's.  But we did learn the sitted position.  ^-^

Taught a lot, learnt a lot.   Fifteen Instructors from threefour different states - Not too shabby for MN's FIRST IBC, I suppose.
Tremendous hospitallity from Kosciusko, who acted as primary liason with the range in getting this set up.  
A big thanks to him, and vmt; who made this happen.

This was the first IBC I've ever run, and I believe it went quite well.  First of many, I assume and/or hope. #)
Anyway, time monkey got us on occasion but we quickley reacted; showing him who's boss! :--- :--- :---

By the way; Chris aka. CDT has long been considering an Orange hat, and well he finally decided to jump in by coming this weekend;
accepting his hat from Brad76!  Three HUZZAS for CDT! ^:)^

Thank you to all the RH's who helped, and to all the IIT's for attending.
I'll leave it to them to write the real AAR.  After all, it's not my version of the events that make this fruitful - It's theirs!

So, let us know how it went!   :P

Thank you to all!  javascript:void(0);javascript:void(0); Who helped me stretch and attempt pieces of AS teaching that I had not planned on. Thought I would learn to help on the line and we did that.  Attempting to teach IMC is a good way to see how well you know it!  Thank you to the Winona Sportsman's Club! a good facility for an annual IBC refresher!

Huzzah!  What an EXCELLENT weekend!  I can think of no better way to have spent the first two days of my spring break.

First off, thanks to AFTERMATH and the red hats that ran this IBC.  It was great to learn how to teach things the proper way, before I even attend an Appleseed as an IIT  ^:)^

Secondly, I enjoyed meeting the other IITs from Minnesota (I was the only Wisconsinite there, shame...we could have annexed Minnesota if we had shown up in strength!  **) )

This IBC just confirmed my intentions when I took an orange hat a week and half ago-this is the right path for me, and I am looking forward to doing it and will enjoy it.

Lastly:

I believe that a tug of war will ensue now between Minnesconsin...this could get ugly  ~~:) ~~:) May the best state win!  ;)

Huzzah for Winona IBC!  Awesome weekend!

We can't let you have Blue Five for nothing, there will be a rental fee.  ;D

Be careful what you wish for, Aftermath.  Getting professor gun, browningman, vkf10/22, and me all in one package may be expensive, especially from behind that Cheddar Curtain.   ;D

I guess you and colycat may just have to have a tug of war and fight to the death over us....  ~~:)  **)

Sure, why not ?    We collect them in Minnesota.    The rotunda at the capitol is full of them.    O0

Kind of like all the Yankee flags in the Richmond museum?  Oh, wait, we were nice enough to return them after the War of Northern Aggression was over.
