UPDATE MAY 18, 10:35MDT

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CITY HAS BEEN CHANGED TO ALAMOGORDO, NM, and the range to the Sidney Paul Gordon range in La Luz (outskirts of Alamogordo).

Good afternoon, New Mexico!  The date is set and the venue is booked for a LONG overdue Instructor Boot Camp, to be held in ALAMOGORDO!

Okay, question time :)

I know we'll need handguns for the pistol event on Friday. What about rifles? Will this be a classroom only event, or will we be in the range? Centerfire, rimfire, both? Actually, is there a classroom?

There actually IS a classroom!  Yay!  Hopefully with some A/C, but Riflemen persist.  As far as I know, the format will be much the same as the last IBC you attended, except for the pistol clinic.  I'm reaching out to some folks today for more details.
