Now if you show up totally green and don’t know how to read coordinates or find points on a map can you still succeed?

Maybe, but it’ll be easier if you have a basic understanding of the concepts.

If you would like to attend IT IS CRITICAL YOU RSVP beforehand so we can have a map for you and set points.

Email ([email protected]), IM me or respond to this thread if you are interested.

Afterwards we will be having a Night shoot in a different location.  Details will be provided at the event.

Looking forward to seeing you all.

Also if you are planning on shooting, DO NOT BRING STEEL OR GREEN TIP AMMO.
