OK. As instructors, we spend much time and treasure teaching and not nearly enough shooting. We spend a few minutes together at events, maybe even a meal, but as a group, we could use a little comraderie.

Hence, the Red Coat Challenge.

What I propose is a full weekend event. Just instructors. No instruction. No agenda. Nothing to acomplish. A weekend off.

As part of the event, I have conspired with Willowrith to cut steels for a full distance red coat.
Details of the course of fire will remain secret untill the event. I figure we are all professionals, you all should be able to show up and perform.

let me know, PM me if you are interested
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.

"When men's rules are Honorable and Just I will follow them. When I find the laws tolerable, I will tolerate them. When I find the rules obnoxious, I will ignore them. When I find evil imposed or codified, I will War against it. My Lord has made it known and understood to me that to accept the gift of freedom I will alone bear the full responsibility everything I do, or chose not to do." I .......    "This is Appleseed. We are here to restore the Republic. Tyrants, major or petty, need not apply."  I .......

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

OK, in trying to find a weekend that has no shoots so as to give everyone a chance to attend, I found ONE.
October 27th. Does this weekend work for everyone?

Build it and they will come. Count me in.
The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation.  Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government. - Francis Grund 1837
