ALL instructors are invited.  It should be a fun, and, most importantly, educational event.

Please sign up via Eventbrite, NOT via instructor scheduling (unless you have specifically been tasked with admin/CoF duties).  We will need an accurate count for targets and planning and having everyone on the check-in sheet will expedite check-in for Camp Atterbury.

Is it CRITICAL that you follow all instructions on the info link.  That is, the link I will provide goes to the EIP.  Click on the info link on the EIP and follow the instructions.  When you email your contact and rifle info, please include your screen name.  Then sign up via Eventbrite.

Please note the $10/day range fee applies to all.  Including Friday if you come in that evening.  Camping right on the range is available, too.  I plan to camp and drift to sleep by the sound of machine guns quietly pew-pew-pew-ing in the distance.

Looking forward to seeing you then!

P.S. Link to follow.  I sent scuzzy a boat-load of work this evening.   >:D

I signed up, but is the count right on Eventbrite?  It says there are only two tickets left.  That's a crazy quick sell-out!  This will be my first KD event & I'm stoked! I'll get my info sent in ASAP.

There is something goofy there, the cap is set at 7 with a pre-reg of 5.
Should be much higher than that.

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

I believe I have something worked out with Atterbury's archaic handgun rules. My wife has had plans that weekend but they took a turn for the worse over the weekend and it looks like they will fall through. So yeah for me  >:D I won't have to stay home and milk. It may change but it looks pretty solid as of now. Paperwork sent in and registered.
So it looks like Mudcat will be going to Atterbury.

I'm also doing my best to get ol' SPQR to get an IIT Primer going for the weekend. That's kind of like a quick and dirty Instructor Boot Camp where you'll learn the ins and outs of being an Instructor. I recommend anyone who's still relatively new to the Instructor Cadre or has never been to an IBC be there for this IIT Primer. It'll get you a great jump start on your Instructor Journey.

It would also be good for seasoned volunteers like me to be there so we can learn to be better Instructor trainers.

...and Mudcat will be there. This is like a win, win, win.

Alright IN instructors. you are the first to find out. WPA (wolf ) has agreed to send me enough .223 ammo for 40 shooters to get 160rds each. that is enough for 4 AQT's. talking with SPQR regarding the COF for the weekend that means you should get enough free ammo to cover your needs for both days.

All ammo will be .223 only this time. If we do not get a total of 40 shooters signed up we will split up the ammo as best we can.

If you have not already done so get on there and sign up!
I have noticed you get things done and I respect that-SPQR

If you want to shoot more bring more of your own ammo.  Brown mis-stated that just a little.  You will get enough Wolf for come-us to 500 and 3 AQTs but our timing from last instructor day indicated that we can get 5 or 6 in so bring more ammo if you want to.

WOLF IS GIVING US .223 ONLY.  READ THAT.  GET IT?

I just wanted to throw that out there.  After the August shoot all the instructors thought starting the day with comeups was more valuable for pacing and warm up than an extra AQT would have been.  I have come to think they are right.

If it happens it will be Sunday morning. I am a little concerned about putting too much stuff together and taking away ventilating time

Are Wolf and TulAmmo (from Walmart) close enough that I'll be able to switch to TulAmmo without too much consternation once my ration of Wolf dries up?  Or is that one of those areas where it just depends on the rifle?

Y'all better bring it! I'm not coming all the way from Cincinnati for no shenanigans.


For philagothon-
Wolf and Tula are NOT the same brand. Are they close enough? Isn't all 5.56 for a Rifleman?

The correct answer for this is probably yes, there is a slight difference and you may have to adjust for them. But, from what I've seen on the line, the difference is so slight that most shooters don't even notice. AR-15s are freakin laser beams so you, being a Rifleman may detect an MOA up or down here and there but it will be very slight, especially since we're shooting billboard size targets. Remember to write it down!

Anyone camping friday night? I really hate to get up and leave at 0200. I may camp friday that way I am there for the shenanigans at the start. Or do some rest area camping.
