What: A 5 mile ruck through the forest, followed by small arms qualification with rifle, shotgun, and pistol. There will be an optional NOD's low-light/no-light shoot in the evening. Bring your night vision!  . There's no light pollution in this area, NODs should be really fun!When: July 28th to July 30th. The ruck and shoot will occur on the 29th. The 28th is for setup and acclimation (10,000ft elevation), and the 30th is for AAR, cleanup and camp breakdown. Where: Northern Colorado, near the town of Red Feather Lakes. Approximate location coordinates: 40.805977, -105.772530 Who: I (pestilence12) will be hosting this event. Anybody from any state is invited. Here is a live link to the document I made for all the details and plans for the weekend: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQKMhuL1qGyhCZJEhEwIZt0km8iJs0LPzQPZlaZ_EfwJFhd0t0w2Z-CFgmglsHOpswELUNQFfItbNDs/pub Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Some quick details: If you just want to come up for the ruck and shoot, or just the ruck, or just the shoot, that is perfectly fine. Please show up! Site location - I will give out exact location coordinates of the campsite after you have RSVP'd. I will also give out the comm channel after RSVP. The ruck will be in full gear with the rifle. Also, please feel free to bring along anybody who may be interested in small arms training. I am willing to spend time with folks getting them up to speed on shooting fundamentals. You do NOT need to be a Top Shot to come to this. It is not a competition. I strongly encourage people to show up on Friday so they can acclimate before hiking at 10,000+ feet in elevation. Also, I would really appreciate any extra hands to get the range set up. If you do not have certain pieces of gear: PLEASE reach out to me. I have quite a bit of extra gear (LBV, an extra plate carrier, extra battle belt, extra mag pouches, PPE, firearms, etc) and I can loan out stuff to folks that need it for the event. If you have concerns about ammo, PM me. If you have any questions, drop me a PM on here, or shoot me an email at [email protected] RSVP Please RSVP for this event as soon as possible, at least a week before the scheduled date, so that I can plan for spacing at the campsite and shooters on the line (targets, benches, etc.) A PM here, a comment saying you're in, or an email to [email protected] will all suffice. Let's get it

Looks like I'm probably out  Thats the weekend of my sons birthday party, and I'm not missing that to go play in the woods. I had hoped we could move things around so I could make both, but between fixed things, dog sitting and the length of the drive, the best I could do is make it for the night. And thats a long way to go for minimal engagement, especially at the end of what will be a long day. If things change or I get great inspiration on how to better re-jig my schedule I will let you know. |
