We have a carbine class tentatively scheduled in Kentucky after Thanksgiving in Crittenden. Also of special interest, we plan on holding a full distance event (100-500 yard qualification) at Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center (Edinburgh, IN) in February 2017. Just keep watching our schedule at http://www.hitscount.org.

Seriously looking into the day at Buds. I'm a state fire rescue instructor with KCTCS. What kind of documentation do I need to bring or fax when purchasing the teacher discounted ticket?

[Unbridled Liberty]

No documentation needed when buying the ticket. Just bring some kind of ID (KCTC, FD) with you to the event.

Good deal, I'm an 11B Instructor up at Atterbury. They have some pretty good ranges. Will you all be utilizing the KD range for your training event?

[Unbridled Liberty]

Cool! Yes, we have been assigned Range 3. We have always used #5 in the past. Anything we need to know about #3 in particular? Feel free to PM or email me if you want. ky@reveresriders.org.

Rgr, Range 4 & 5 was used for the TAG Match this year. Range 3 is pretty much identical to 5. My Section Leader works at range control, I'll pm you his info. He is a good dude, former 3rd Bat, boy.

Civilian On-Base Lodging for the Atterbury KD Event
Shooters are eligible for lodging on base for this event. You will need to call and reserve a room and place a deposit with your credit card. You have your choice of a Premium (1-person) room at $30 per night, or a Deluxe room at $35 per night (double occupancy...on a pull out type sleeper for the 2nd person). A Deluxe room also gets you your own bathroom, as opposed to sharing a bathroom with another room like the lowly Premium people. The number to call is 812-526-1128. You may have to leave a message and they will call you back. When you talk to them they will ask what unit you are with. You will tell them you are a civilian and will be on base to shoot in the "rifle match" on February 11 and 12th. That should do it. The base campground is also open, and although the RV water hookups are shut off, the shower house should still be operable. I would confirm that when you call, if you want to go that route.

To give you an idea of what gear you should bring to the Atterbury clinic, these range bag pictures are from the July shoot at Atterbury. At the end of Day 2, back at their vehicles, shooters were instructed to empty their range bag/packs and make two piles; the left pile of everything they used, and the right pile of everything they didn't use.

Keep in mind that you will be walking several miles each day, and just ask yourself “is this item really worth lugging that far?”. "Bring everything you need and nothing you will not use."

The one day event at Buds was awesome. I finally qualified, even with some readiness issues on my part. Next time I'll remember to take the darn chamber flags out before closing the bolt.

Thank you so much for taking the time with Christian. He learned some skills and had a great day shooting as well.

[Unbridled Liberty]

It was a pleasure meeting you both sir! I have had many youth on my firing lines over the years, and I have seen some that gave up after a few minor frustrations with their equipment. I must say that you are on the right track with Christian as I observed a very high level of resilience and persistance despite many hardware issues. And you, unlike some parents, had a good handle on when to step in and when to hang back. Well done to both of you!

Only 5 tickets left tonight for the Atterbury clinic.

Sorry I couldnt make it out to range 4, I was slammed all weekend at Atterbury. I'm glad to see it was a good weekend of training.

As it turned out, they put us on R5. What other types of ranges would we be able to use there? Someone asked if they have a pop-up range. We were also wondering if they have an "urban warfare" range of some kind. Do you know if anything like those are available?

They have qualification ranges that provide pop ups out to 300m. As far as "urban warfare" are you talking about shoot houses?

[Unbridled Liberty]

By urban warfare, for lack of a better term, I meant simulated towns where you shoot from inside a building out a window, or from an simulated rooftop, etc. Not CQB stuff. Do you know the range # for the 300m pop-ups?

As far as Urban environments and shooting are concerned, Atterbury doesn't have much of that as far as live fire training goes, most of that type of training is conducted down at MUTC. The 300m qualification ranges are ranges 17 and 18, I believe. I don't have a map in front of me at the moment, but I'm sure you could contact range control and they could give you any information you need.

MUTC is either very hard or impossible to use by non-military groups, and there's absolute zero live fire allowed. Simunitions/UTM/etc. is as close as you'll get. Fort Knox has some options as far as shooting from buildings goes, and allows civilian use. I know Scott Mountain at Knox is used by non-military groups. It's a 1000yd range with a three story building to shoot out of. Tons of purpose-built windows at various heights, and rooftop access. You're just firing from a building onto a traditional square 1000yd known distance range, though.

Agreed, Knox, is the best alternative for that type of training and yes civilian use is limited. I forgot about MALC getting the boot after their LEO/CIV stunt as far the civilian training goes.

Now there is live fire stuff done at MUTC, but it's restricted.

[Unbridled Liberty]

Thank you! We are going to start the process of scheduling an event at one of the pop-up ranges at CAJMTC.

When I was with Appleseed, we tried very hard to get into Knox. We even had a Major (who attended an Appleseed and was very supportive) on the "inside" trying to get us in. Long story short; they have some very onerous regulations that make it next to impossible for civilians to get in, unless you are with the Kentucky State Rifle & Pistol Association. We let it drop as it was not worth the effort since we had Atterbury available to us.
