Group carbine refresher/coaching day?

[Sticks]

Cool.

If you are a "Count me in" then we will figure a reimbursement for you at the shoot.

Forwarded info from CO303 ~ edited for what applies;

The range is in Kiowa. We have several bays at the range. Among them are 6 100 yard mixed use bays, commonly used for combined rifle and pistol. There are some target stands available, however, I have about 30 IPSC stands. Stands aren't a problem.

I also have a couple of hundred ipsc targets on hand. I can make them available at my cost ($.45 each) and no taxes. I have also ordered a 200 each of the CSAT and Mary Kates. I'm not sure when these will arrive. Costs are $.30 and $.50; respectively. Backing cardboard for these is in short supply. We can check with the local home depot for boxes and cut them to shape. This helps keep the cost down.

I don't have any steel or VTAC barricades. I'm looking into buying some steel for my own use. I'll fund the construction of some barricades if someone will help me build them. I have the tools and materials.

The range does not allow non-members (outside of family and friends) as a general rule. However, I am a NRA Certified Instructor and am registered with BLGC to hold classes there. I can reserve a bay for a class. The session would be covered under my instructors insurance policy doing it this way. So that covers that part. That being said, I'll be acting as Chief Range Officer (because my ass is on the line), I would suggest you act as RO. We can rotate shooting cycles. This is easy to do if we run the crew in 2 strings. It will also keep the things moving at a manageable level and gets more eyes on the shooters for technique and safety. For consistency, I would suggest we use Kelly's command system.

As far as the course of fire and exercises; popular vote works. I'm also in favor of incorporating other drills or modifying the existing drills to increase the challenge aspect.

That's what I've got. Let me know what you think. The first day I can see starting is Sunday (25th), IPSC targets only. I've painted some to mirror the CSAT targets already.

Other Info:

No ammo restrictions, but cases and targets have to be policed at the end of the session.

I try to personally collect as much brass as possible because I reload. I know you do as well. Crew members who wish to keep brass can split what hits the ground.

The range is a ways out; it might be best if we meet early and carpool. Saves fuel (expense) and lets us get to know each other better.

My wife, wants to come out and photograph sessions, which would be cool for the board. Don't shoot her, she's a Fed (FDA Investigator) I have video gear to record individual shooters for critique.

Your the "Cat Herder."

Fell free to forward these messages to the others.

Best regards,

OK, so we now have a HMFIC (as stated), and unless there are any objections I'll act as secondary RO/SO. We will need a third to hover (I want to shoot too), we can get someone volunteered (SuperiorDG).

I am presuming his earliest being the 25 is not the day after tomorrow, but Christmas - could be wrong, but I think we all need at least a week's lead time to set this up (ammo, time from work if applicable, spouse approval...).

We are swimming in target availability, and shot up IPSC targets work as backers. Shot timers are covered...screw this, I'll just edit the first post to reflect what we have and need.

If someone has 1 or 2 IPSC steel, speak up. I am going to check on the cost of a 4x8 sheet of AR500 (3/8 or 1/2) through my work. I don't have a CAD program, but I figure we should be able to get 6-8 IPSC (Full and 2/3) out of a sheet and a pile of circles/plates. Might need to do a group buy on this one. Won't be cheap when you factor in steel for the stands. Cutting (plasma) and fabrication I can do - just need templates or a sample stand to duplicate.

I get IPSC metrics (what we used in class) for $45/100. I always have them, so don't order any. If anyone can spare the time, I could use a hand with cutting the Vtac barracades. I'm in SW Denver.

[SuperiorDG]

Okay, so I have one Vtac barricade and probably as many backers as needed if it is on the next 25th. I could also stand in for the stand by RO.

I'll have to see what the rest of this weekend holds. Maybe next weekend if someone else has not stepped up.

Sounds good.

Count me in. I have pretty much all Saturdays available and am happy to contribute toward any costs.. I'm also happy to offer a ride for someone in the Broomfield/Westminster area, who'd like to carpool.

as for items I'd like to focus on, Mary Kate was great and definitely a good one to include, but the malfunction drills, reloading drills, and non-standard shooting positions would be where I'd benefit the most. Shooting on the move is eventually where I'd like to be.

The last three are areas that I wanted to show you guys some variations on, as well as transition to support side, and support side shooting. We went from Zero to Holy Shit (faster than SuperiorDG was making his splits on the one shot from the ready) on the support side shooting with that Vtac barricade.

Shooting on the move is something we can keep in mind for the extra stuff if we have time.

We're going to need some 100y NRA rifle targets, and who has the time spec for the 4/100? My Google-Fu is weak this morning.

I have these targets as well. Depending on when the get together is, I'm interested. I'm also happy to RO as needed.
