Revere's Riders Two day Carbine Feb 23 & 24, 2019 (Bedford)

[TJ Kackowski]

Camping is available on site at the Bedford Contingent Gun Range. But if you need to seek indoor accommodations, there is a Super 8 and Quality Inn & Suites about 8 miles south on 37. Smokin Jim's BBQ is just across the street from these establishments and open carry is encouraged at Smokin Jim's.

Thanks very much!

I also work most weekends. I took my first course with them in December of last year (1-day carbine in Seelyville) and am hooked. The instructors are great. Fantastic experience. I am going to the 2-day in February and probably a few others this year. I took paid vacation days for February.

I see that I'm off during the one in October. I would still need to get the Friday off so I can get down there, but I have time to make arrangements for that.

I'd like to do this one to get out after not shooting much in the last two months. Just not sold on trying to take an entire week off to do it.

If you are perusing this thread you’re likely interested in this event (duh).
Take advantage of the ‘early bird’ discount before it goes away.
For those that asked...
Yes will get chance to verify zero.
0 to 200 yard engagements.
No this is NOT suitable for a first time shooter. While some ofthe ‘basics’ will be touched on, you need to be a competent shooter already. This ain’t the class to learn what end of the gun the bullets come out. Reveres Riders does offer those but want to make sure people know what this is about. Some folks don’t read course descriptions so there it is. Do not confuse this with the basic rifle classes offered.
You can ‘get by’ with 3 mags. More is better.
Have your mags loaded. Tip:Spare ammo loose in ziplock bag avoids time opening and disposing of boxes.
Yes it’s outside!
Pace will start slow and build /confirm skills over the two days. While not for a first timer this is a great opportunity for a novice, ‘operator refresher’, see if you measure up, shake out your gear event.
So many folks tell me they are looking for this specific ‘carbine/battle rifle’ training so here it is.
Come on out and see if you are “Well Regulated’ or just to beat Brad69!
Hope to see you on the line.

Nigel,
Couldn't find a way to email you and ask this from the Revere's Riders site, so I'll just ask here, as I have no experience with any classes...Do you consider regular eyeglasses as meeting the requirements of safety glasses? Not sure what mine are made of but I can find out if it makes a difference. Long time contact wearer but with my new glasses I can see details up close so much better. If my glasses don't qualify I'll switch back to contacts for the weekend, just want to be prepared.
Thanks,
Matt

Matt,
You should be fine with regular glasses.
Nearest steel will be 100 yards and paper targets closer in.

It's a license to carry, it doesn't specify how many.
I just thought we'd all stay in out battle belt/plate carriers, might make finding a seat easier.

Getting a refill might be an issue though.

Heads up less than a week away.
Still room fo a couple of last minute sign ups if you haven’t committed yet.
You could even get a rapid return on your taxes and make it!
Weather may coorperate but it’s Indiana so be prepared.
See you Saturday, huzzah.

I'll update this list if and when others RSVP. I plan to call Smokin Jim's on Wed evening to give them a ballpark count and see if there's anything special we need to do, so if you want to go please RSVP by then if you haven't already.

What time should we plan to meet up? 7:00, 7:30, 8:00?

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

I'll know by Wednesday morning if I'll be joining dinner
