Ohio Appleseeders,

I'm very disappointed to announce that the 2021 Ohio IBC scheduled for March 13-14 has been postponed until October 9-10.  This decision was made after much discussion and deliberation, with input from state and national leaders of Appleseed.  Current Ohio COVID-19 guidelines were also considered and, ultimately, it was decided that delaying a large, indoor, two-day gathering was the best course of action.

We still wanted to provide early season opportunities to shake some of the dust off our skills and to boost progress for the IITs, so we will follow the lead of Michigan and offer a series of one-day mini-IBCs.  The first one will be for Shoot Bosses only and serve to prepare the leaders to support and advance the cadre.  The following three will be open to all in the cadre and will be intended to cover the jumpstart the season.  All are scheduled for New Philadelphia, likely in a hotel conference room convenient to the interstate. The specific location will be announced as soon as it's finalized.  The first two dates will take the place of the previous IBC, March 13-14, and the others will be May 15-16.

In order to honor the Ohio COVID guidance, everyone must sign up as a student.  Yes, that includes the Shoot Boss and instructors.  The links are provided below.

I look forward to working with all of you soon.  I would have preferred to have a gathering of the full Ohio cadre to start the Appleseed season, but we will do the best we can with the cards we have been dealt

Hello Appleseeders!

I'm excited to announce that I will be visiting Ohio as Shoot Boss for the upcoming Instructor Boot Camp in New Philadelphia, OH, on March 13-14, 2021, at Tusco Rifle Club. It is FREE to the Appleseed volunteer cadre, of course, and is designed to enable all of us to help work Appleseed events with even greater simplicity and precision.  Those who have not worked an event for a while may find it a fine refresher and for those who are seasoned instructors, it may be useful to review a bit.

While this event is scheduled for Ohio, border raiders are welcome to join us! 

Who can come?  It's for Instructors-in-Training, Instructors, Applecore, Shoot Bosses, and even crusty old Senior Instructors!  If you are not yet a volunteer but have attended a 25m event and shot a Rifleman score, come on out. 


Stuff you need to know:

1.  The purpose of the IBC is to help our instructors grow and become better teachers, away from the pressure of being in front of students.  If you are an instructor, instructor in training, or interested in being a Project Appleseed Instructor - Sign up!

2.  The IBC is free to attend.  No cost. Sign up!

3.  Don't let the name "Boot Camp" intimidate you.  This is a gentleman's course.  No push-ups, no hazing, no yelling.   Most of our IBC exercises will be in small groups.

4.  Attendance at this event will qualify you for your BOOT CAMP rocker.  Sign up!

5.  If you've not attended an IBC in the last 12 months, please sign up as a student.  Sign up!  We'll need volunteers for the instructor team, so please send a PM if you can help.

6.  An IBC will jump start your teaching skills and may qualify you for accelerated promotions!

7.  An IBC is a great opportunity to enjoy camaraderie with your fellow Appleseed volunteers.


Please pass this along to anyone you think may be interested.  The IBC is the method we use to insure everyone is on the same page when we teach using the Appleseed way: SIMPLICITY and PRECISION.  Please join us and invite others. You are part of an elite group - the best rifle instructors in the country.  Come help us all improve as we spread the message of Liberty.

This is going to be a great event! Hope to see all of you there... so Sign up!

All,

I support Google's call to join us.  Some more details.  We are planning on getting meals catered for the weekend.  There will be a charge, probably around $25/person for food for the weekend.  We will be providing bfast Sat and Sun, lunch both days and dinner on Sat in the club house. 

We are able to bunk on site.  There are electric hook ups if you are bringing a camper, there is bunking on site (we have a separate building for the ladies), there are showers available on site and there are hotels near by. 

It will be a great event. Please join us.  If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

Please come and meet the wonderful Ohio crew, learn new techniques or just knock the rust off.  TUSCO is a strong and welcoming supporter of project Appleseed.

I'm looking forward to meeting new instructors and seeing old friends.
