All,

ARFCOM is getting this first. It will be up on the APC website shortly. Before I post the events list, I'd like to mention that I am aware there are a number of you with inquiries that have gone unanswered so far (Charles, I haven't forgotten you). We had a discussion among the board of directors this past week regarding the issue of connecting interested parties with local organizations and some of the challenges we are working to overcome. Please be patient.

Below is our tentative schedule of events for 2023. It should firm up shortly, and a couple additional events may be added. This is not inclusive of local events, which we are happy to assist with- this is strictly nationally and regionally sponsored and directly planned/supported events. These events are all either free, or nearly free- and most equipment can be provided if you do not posses your own. All of these events will be physically intensive in one way or another, and it is recommended you start hiking and exercising now if you plan to attend.

These events are appropriate for adults and teens, but generally pre-teens will not be permitted to participate. Links to specific event details to follow in the next few weeks leading into December.

@Vaquero we may be reaching out shortly for local assistance in locking on a form location for the small arms event.

I could host this at my hometown range near Pittsburg, KS if you're interested.  We're in the corner of 4 states with multiple metro areas 2 hours away.
