Phoenix, AZ - IBC – SEPT 7 - 8, 2024

[mr6actual]

Appleseed Family,

I'd like to invite you all to a Traditional Rifle IBC to be held in Phoenix, Arizona, at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility. 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. For those who are seasoned instructors, it may be useful to review a bit.

While this event is scheduled for Arizona, border raiders are encouraged to join us!   For you travelers, Sunday will start a little earlier so it can end earlier and get you folks back on the road home at a good time.

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.  Lodging.  There are a couple of hotels relatively close by; see the event information page.  An option for groups might be an airbnb.

4.  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.

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

6.  If you've not attended an IBC in the last 12 months, please sign up as a student.  Sign up!

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


Please pass this along to anyone you think may be interested.  The IBC is the method we use to ensure 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! 

In Liberty,
Mr6Actual

(Yes, I shamelessly stole the format from MrsSmith who stole it from Google, who in turn stole it from some other dude, but stick with what works and don't reinvent sliced bread.)

Let's give this a Bump!

Please note the change to the dates. This gives you even MORE time to prepare and (for our border raiders) arrange carpools and room shares with your fellow instructors.

See you in Phoenix

I just enrolled. This looks awesome.

I've only been to one Appleseed event, Phoenix in April 2024, but managed to eke out a couple of Rifleman scores (a skin-of-my-teeth 210 and then a 229). I also just finished a rifle class at Gunsite Academy, where the curriculum is pretty similar, so this seems like a great way to keep the ball rolling.

I'm excited. See you in September!

That's great, Mike!  Look for a message from me, so we can get you set up for success     We're looking forward to meeting you!
