He will be getting in touch next week with everyone, I think!

Et the direction of NugginFutz I made a paypal deposit for the class. I've sent emails to the "orders" address and posted here I'm going. Why do you suppose I've not been contacted directly? Why no updates here asking for the deposit? Just curious.

WBB:
I recall LRRP52 did make a post three (?) days ago saying he just returned from coaching at a Boy Scout camp for a month or so and was now back in the net. The recovery from the SPAM attack deleted a bunch of e-mails concerning this training but I imagine he will post something in the next 24 hours.

I posted an update before the website attack. I was running Shooting Sports for the highest elevation Boy Scout Camp in the US for 7 weeks, and just finished on Saturday evening. I have been receiving the deposits to lock in the portions of the range we will be using.
We're looking forward to seeing everyone there. I've received commitments from several other people who will be assisting with camera/filming work, and one of my internationally-rated sniper buddies has expressed interest in being a guest for this course as well.
I'm still working out the details, but if you want some filming or pics, it looks like we will have one person who can focus on that alone.
This is going to be a very unique course when you look at the disciplines involved, as well as the schedule of 3 days, 2 nights. We're very excited about it.

I'm looking more forward to this than I should be, I'm sure!
We may have a special guest appearance or two, as well! Still working on some logistics.

We're less than a month out to this event. Main questions I have been answering are:
* Sources for match .223 Remington: http://www.gunbot.net/ammo/rifle/223/
* Questions about lights. I personally use the Streamlight Microstream for Every Day Carry (EDC). For carbine lights, I really like 12 o'clock mount with the Surefire X-series, Inforce lights, or Streamlight TLR. Some of my blasters have Surefire GII with the VTAC mount at 10 o'clock.
* Remember that a quick-adjust 2-point sling will help out considerably for the carbine and especially DM training sessions.
* A dump pouch will help for training purposes since we're burning high volume.
* You'll want a method for identifying your mags from everyone else's. Most of us use paint pens for that.
There will be at least one special guest who I'll wait to introduce. Range facilities are locked in for us. I'm really excited about meeting all who are attending, and doing something unique together.
There has been some talk about a 1000yd side match, and we are looking at having some new toys to demo for the course. I think a cash prize 1000yd side match after Day 3's catered lunch will be fun. The range certainly has plenty of steel at the 1000yd range, and they even have a mile gong on the side of the butte in the background. I really can't over-sell the range, as it has taken me a few years to become familiar with all they have there.
We'll also be using some other portions of the range that you will quickly become familiar with when you get there, but I want to leave more as surprises.
Here's the 1000yd and 600yd ranges together:

Wel, less than two weeks away, and you'd previously mentioned providing some training material prior to the event, in order to mitigate any need for classroom training. Well, for those of us slow readers, how soon can we expect those materials?

Sorry for the off-topic, but LRRPF52 might not be able to reply, as he seems to currently be a board victim. I think the site has gone wonky and spit him out or something. If you look at his username beside his post above-- he got demoted from "Moderator" to "Guest". I reported it to Bill W. last night, but he's probably asleep being on the Left Coast.
The site has been a little screwy in general of late. I've noticed other member's posts being marked with "Guest" beside their name. I have no idea what that's about.:confused:

LRRPF52 has been at Sniper Adventure Challenge in Wyoming, he'll be back online today some time, and answering questions.

I can't believe I haven't noticed this until now. And I'm even more astonished that I didn't know about the shooting park, considering I grew up about 30 minutes from it. My grendel will be out on loan or I would head up! I'll be up the next weekend to visit family and will for sure have to check it out. Too bad I'll miss everyone!!

We still have spots and could arrange a loaner rifle if you can make it.

This thread is hard to read. I wont be able to attend this class because of a work related schedule change. I know this is going to be one of those class courses a person will have a challenging yet great time. I would have enjoyed shooting with many of the G horde that will be attending. Please post pictures and hopefully this wont be a one time event. If I sound like a winy baby its because I am right now, I RRRRRRRRealy wanted to go to this! Dang!!!!!!!
I'm going off to sulk now..............................

I'll talk to the boss tomorrow and see if I can get a few days off work!

Thanks for the offer bwaites, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to sit this one out. I'm already taking two days off work the next weekend to head up and help a family member move, so no time off. If this turns into an annual thing I'll definitely be there next time

For those that are attending, send me a status email, as I have lost all my PM's. I will send out the study materials as I receive status updates.
I already have confirmations from several of you. If you paid the deposit, you are accounted for since I have record of that via another route.

I'm just coordinating with the catering right now. What are your preferences? We have:
* BBQ ribs
* Teriyaki chicken
* Lasagna
* Fresh Burgers made from scratch
* Chicken Marsala
* Turkey Sandwiches
* Roast beef sandwiches
* Ham Sandwiches
* Apple or peach cobblers
* Fudge brownies
* Apple pie
I'm leaning to BBQ ribs myself for one day, and maybe lasagna for another. I started salivating listening to the menu myself.
