WOW! Thanks Traci. I've got some homework this weekend!
So, we have Traci, Sam until lunch on Saturday, and Jeremy as instructors with Melissa where needed. Theoretically, Trisha and I aren't considered instructors at this event so this will be tight, but we can make it work. Regardless whether the shooter count increases, I'd sure like a couple more instructors at this event if possible. Melissa, would you please reach out to them one more time and ask them to sign up.
Also, I'd really like for you to go for Orange Hat at this event. You mentioned that you haven't been able to shoot at any events for the past couple of years, so I'd like to give you everything that you need to reach Rifleman. For now, plan on shooting both days. If we need to pull you on Saturday, we can do so - you'll be the "Ace up my sleeve" so to speak! As Traci said, we can have you assist with RSOing and can also use you to model.
Melissa, do you have access to the email address and contact information for the ladies who have signed up? If so, would you please send that information to me and notate which women are TWAW Chapter leaders. I'm editing the Event Email that we use for Waco and Ft Worth and I would like to send it out tomorrow or Monday. That way if anyone needs to purchase a sling or other gear, they'll have time to receive it before the event. If you don't have access, I'll reach out to Scuzzy and Trisha.
Jeremy, let's use your Patrick Henry excerpt between the Preamble and the First Strike since he gave this speech in March, just a couple of weeks before the events at Lexington and Concord. I just read it in its entirety this morning. I was wondering how to incorporate it into the event. I'm not yet familiar with the 1903 drill rifle and 1907 sling, but I just recently read about both, so I'm excited to see both as well as your Garand and M-16. The flintlock would be great to use as a prop during the First Strike.
Range Questions:
Is this range limited to 10-22 or can center fire be used? At my two Texas ranges, only 10-22s can be used, so I want to edit the letter to accommodate other types of rifles that shooters can bring. Also, are there any types of rifles and/or ammo that are prohibited, as I will need to alert the shooters of that as well. What is the range fee that we are being charged? Is it the standard daily rate or was it discounted for Appleseed? Finally, I'm expecting our shooters to sign a range waiver, will they also need to sit through the range's safety briefing prior to being allowed on the range? If so, I need to build that into the schedule.
I'll start working on the COF and post it tomorrow.
