Would anyone in NC, SC, VA, WV, TN, or GA be interested in a 3-day IBC at the Home Range near Ramseur NC? This would be a standard 2-day IBC  followed by a day of KD instruction and shooting. The IBC would come straight from former MI JuniorBirdman's POI as taught to me by DragonWood (now his bride). The KD portion would include advanced marksmanship ed, including come up and even mirage effects on shooting.

The range at Ramseur is one of the best I have ever seen. Wildman and Hawkeye do an amazing job of keeping it all going - including military surplus pop-up targets (reactive) out to 460 yards!

If at least 6 instructors are interested, I will offer dates and we can get it on the books. From IIT0 to MI, we all need a refresher from time to time - me especially.

Who's in?  :--- :--- :---

I would be interested, for sure. However, I am not available until after the weekend of Nov 2-3

Ratchett,
Always good to have seasoned red hats around - allows more students - a trick I learnt from DragonWood, another smart and resourceful woman.  ^-^

I believe Nov 30-Dec1 is an open weekend in NC, there are no Appleseeds on the schedule. Maybe that would work?

Just checked, nothing in SC, TN, VA, FL or GA that weekend. Downside is that is Thanksgiving weekend and people might be on vacation

I am sure everyone can get that time off from work but, I am getting the evil eye all ready for even thinking of being gone for Thanksgiving weekend......Our family usually goes somewhere for the long weekend or everyone comes in to town. I don't think she wants to hear the story of Isaac Davis again.
If that's the only date I will make it work but it's a gonna cost me.... :sos:

OK - here's the dates I have where I am not already committed (or should be)  ^-^:

November 15-17
November 22-24
December 6-9
December 13-15

These are all Fridays thru Sundays. Fri and Sat would be standard IBC per JB's POI and Sunday would be KD instruct in AM and shooting in PM. Lemme know if any of these work. I am nearly back to back from now until then. Once we hit at least 6 attendees that can make any of these dates - we can lock it in and I will get with range to make sure it works for them as well.
Many thanks,

FYI - If this is to be in Ramseur at the Home Range, there is an Appleseed Nov. 16-17 and December 14-15. Appleseed Pistol Clinics are on Nov. 23 and Dec. 7, which are only one day and we can work around them.

None of these dates have any pre-regs, or Instructors signed up yet.

Thanks,
PK

 Duke Med wants to slice and dice on Nov. 12th  $$-0 so I'll be out for 6 weeks after that. Maybe in the spring for me.
