*Use the front entrance for those camping. As
you cross the second set of cattle guards, camp to the right in the area
with fruit trees alongside the fence and a fire pit in the middle. For
those not camping, come in the side entrance by
the graveyard and parking will be in the area of the two tobacco barns.
Saturday
I will talk for ½ hour about the state of the III, our various
projects, and the need for efficiency and focus in our efforts going
forward. I will hand out a few awards, talk about the III Society, and
leave a few minutes for Q & A. When H and I leave the PatCon we
expect to head west to Idaho, finally. The Studio has been remodeled
and needs just a few finishing touches and we’ll be opening the doors.
Any III Patriot ever in the Northern Idaho area will have a welcoming
party if you seek one.

Kerodin - Fight To Your Weapon
Friday October 3rd 2014
10 - 4
Holly and I intend to arrive Thursday
evening with the TOC. While it will obviously still be a work in
progress, we’ll open it up for people to walk-through over the weekend.
We will be hosting our Fight to your Weapon CQB course from 10a – 4p on Friday. Alumni and III Society Members
train free. All others pay $208 for the course, of which ½ will be
donated to Brock to help support his wonderful event. If you are paying
for the CQB course, please send the money directly to Brock.
Note:
If you have been through the course already, be ready for more than a
few surprises, new techniques, as well as a refresher, and a serious
training pace. If you will be joining us on training day please bring
your primary sidearm holster, and email me
with the details of your primary sidearm – I want to have Blue Gun
trainers on-hand that properly fit your rig. First-time students will
get the standard course; you should wear your primary sidearm holster
but no need to email me your sidearm detail. Remember – no firearms in
class – secure them in your campsites/cars/whatever.

.223 PMC BRONZE RIFLE 55 GRAIN FMJ # 223A (1000 ROUNDS)
The vast majority of modern homes constructed in the United States offer very little if any protection from bullets. Plywood, drywall and studs don't have the ability to stop pistol rounds much less high powered rifle rounds. How would you provide ballistic protection for yourself or your family in a hostile situation? In this video I test the ability of 12 inches of packed dirt, in a 5 gallon bucket, to stop a .223 PMC Bronze 55 Grain.
************************************
Pardner Pump Protector
Those H&Rs are built like tanks. The machine work, brazings, and metallurgy is very good. Quiqhar Arsenal (Hawk Industries) is the official shotgun supplier for most of China's police forces and military. Remington was impressed enough with the quality, that they allowed their H&R brand to be stamped into the guns. This was mainly done to harness some profit, which would've otherwise ripped them off as a Polytech or Norinco brand guns. Most parts are interchangeable with the 870 except the barrel. The barrel extension is what's different.

Check is coming today for fees and sponsorship
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sir!
DeleteBrock,
ReplyDeleteYou should up the entry fee to $25 or $30 to make sure the costs are covered. I don't think the increase would affect attendance. People would be glad to pitch in a bit more.
Thanks and it would probably have to be that at least if we had an actual Pig Pickin' where they bring the whole hog and finish cooking it just before we eat as they have now upped the minimum to 100 for this and we usually only have around 70, and some of them are young who pay nothing and others pay only half, so we lose on them. Plus, they cannot give us a quote until they actually buy the pig. At any rate, pulled pork is close to the same thing and we should still be able to keep it about $20 without losing much. There used to be no minimum, then it went to 30, 50, 75 and now 100 because of the increase in whole hog prices. At any rate, all are welcome to chip in more for the Dixieland Beer Fund if they like. :)
DeleteReceived fees from Donald Bradshaw and I thank you.
DeleteCheck is coming - hope I don't transpose numbers in your ZIP code again - mild dyslexia is a permanent condition apparently ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, I doubt it, but you may have added a zero to the check will would work though.......:)
Deletejust made my flight reservations... etc... almost couldn't rent a car because I am too old for Alamo - geez, the reminders of the Truth are just rolling in...
ReplyDeleteIf the check has a any zeros on it, please don't put it in the bank, okay? ;)
:) There is an age limit to rent cars? That's a new one to me.
Deleteyup- Alamo doesn't rent to anyone 65 and old or 25 and younger. But, Thrifty Car Rental doesn't care - I did this all through Expedia, so who knows ;)
ReplyDeleteEnterprise has never asked me. I guess they are more expensive than the two you mentioned.....?
DeleteI usually rent from Enterprise, but that wasn't one of the choices. No matter - I am all set now!
ReplyDeleteGood!
DeleteCheck en route for two...planning to bring Princess Nagsalot, if critter-sitting can be arranged.

ReplyDeleteBrock thank you for a wonderful day. It was good to meet you all. In all the comradery was great as was the food, I look forward to the next gathering. Thanks to all the speakers that put forth some very insightful and thought provoking information. Not sure what happened with K and H, I was looking forward to seeing the TOC.
ReplyDeleteI will enjoy shooting my new 1911 and will make sure I put all that 5.56 ammo to good use.... :-)
Thanks Again Brock for inviting us to Dixieland.
Thank you, Sir for the kind words and I enjoyed meeting you also. Have fun with your winnings and see you the second weekend in May. Too bad we didn't have the chance to converse more and Dixie sends her best.
