Ok, I just got off the phone with the range management, and September 18-21st is our window. I would like to do Thursday-Saturday to give everyone Sunday for travel time, rest, etc., as I like my Sunday's as a day of rest.Here's the tentative schedule:
Day 1
* Pistol & Carbine training in the morning
* Lunch
* Close Quarters Training in Cowboy Town Afternoon
* Dinner
* Night CCW Training in Cowboy Town!
Day 2
* Designated Marksman, intermediate carbine and rifle training (great for hunters as well)
* Lunch
* Intermediate Marksmanship training over the canyon, use of terrain, positional shooting
* Dinner
* I'm considering starting the competition with some night stages.
Day 3
* Culmination exercise/competition involving fluid movement and use of trained skills
* Lunch & awards ceremony
This is a family-friendly event and venue, and the Range has even held weddings there. We have a pavilion in the Cowboy Town with a large kitchen, overhead cover for numerous picnic tables, and we will have catering for Day 3's lunch, with the possibility of catering for at least one of the other days' lunches, since I want to be able to stay focused on training, without folks having to bug out to Price.
I'm very excited about this event after clearing my goals with the range management, who I have worked with for the past year on other courses, and this is really going to be a safe, fun-filled opportunity for us to get together, and do some quality shoot training in several disciplines.
Let's start filling the event so I can work out some of the marginal costs, and I will keep to my word about the $500 per head figure for the entire course. For those looking to schedule a family vacation along with this, Moab & Arches National Park is just 2 hours away, and they have excellent rafting trips.
The North Springs Range has Dry Camping and RV Dump available, and is a beautiful scenic Western setting with breath-taking views, very quiet, and is 6,600ft above sea level.
Any businesses interesting sponsoring the event, please contact me via PM or email:
