Schedule: *May be subject to small changes
Tuesday 24th – Range Day beginning with combat mindset and the rules of firearm safety in the classroom then we will split in to two groups – one for beginners and the other for the more experienced shooters.
The beginners, wives & kids, will have great instructors taking them through pistols, 22s, lever-guns, revolvers, and other "soft-shooting" firearms. The intent is for everyone to enjoy the shooting in a safe environment.
The more experienced shooters will do "Combat Drills" with some of the best instructors on the planet, sharpening skills with speed & accuracy.
Wednesday 25th – Medical morning followed by your choice of Escapology – Handcuffs or Escapology – Lockpicking. Medical will be complimentary to past classes, not a repeat of.
Thursday 26th – Full Auto Range day – a full day at the range with a variety of full auto weapons to test out (who doesn’t love shooting the 50cal!) plus a variety of staged courses of fire to shoot at for some friendly competition - to suit ALL level of shooters in both pistol and carbine (think UPSA and two gun competition style mini matches). We will also invite everyone to bring the "Exotic." You have a wild gun? Bring it and share it with your Patreon family.
Friday 27th – GET TO THE CHOPPER!!! Shooting from the helo. Another full day at the range – with a BBQ lunch on site. There will be some shooting but mostly hanging out with the team. Will wrap up the day with graduation and fireworks (if weather permits – some fire bans may be in place)
Class starts at 9am each morning and will go right through until 5pm. Having said that, this is a more relaxed style of class, and the pace is very comfortable for all.
Meals
Breakfast will be on site at the ranch for those that opt in (approx. $12 p/p – please advise Shelley when booking if you require)
Lunches – we will split up around midday for lunch each day and you will have approx. 1 hour to find somewhere local to eat depending on where we are – there are many options about 15 mins from the ranch – small eateries, subway, burger king, local wings joint, Texas BBQ etc.
Dinners – Dinners we do together. We have planned one night at a Texas BBQ place called Hard 8, was a huge hit last year, one night at a Mexican restaurant and one night at the Lone Star Café all in private rooms with a variety of options to suit most people. We are still working on a venue that can accommodate all of us for the other night – stay tuned!
Each evening will end around the campfire and the bar, sharing stories, having drinks, playing pool and maybe even some mechanical bull riding!
All rooms have coffee making facilities and a small bar fridge. If if you would prefer to eat on site to save a few dollars there is a microwave and small cooktop in the bunk house as well as an outdoor grill.
Instructors:
Karl Erickson
Imri Morgenstern
Chad Mormon
Steve Holland
Rand Rawhide Wurst
Coach – Kevin Jimmerson
Travis Hall
I will bring more on as needed depending on how many sign up
Guys this is by far my most favorite class of the year – it’s a relaxed atmosphere where a bunch of like-minded people can come together, share stories, learn from each other, experience new things in a safe and fun environment. Many friendships have been formed since we started this 5 years ago and I’m excited to meet more of you this year and catch up with old friends.
This will be the last time it’s held in Texas for a while so if you want to experience that good ol’ Texas hospitality now is the time!
I know many of you have said you will be coming but so far we only have 5 people officially signed up. I am not planning on capping the numbers this year, the more the merrier as far as I’m concerned, however please don’t leave it ‘til the last minute to book as I still need time to plan organize t-shirts books the restaurants etc!!!
If you have any questions at all please don’t hesitate to reach out to Susan or myself.
We hope to see you there!
Strength & Honor,
Karl Erickson
