This is not an introductory course and participants are expected to be capable of the following: \n\nhandling their firearm in a safe manner\nkeeping shots within a 6″ square from approximately 7 yards\n\nEstimated Ammunition Required: About 500 rounds/day. \nPistol Requirements: Pistols should be of a modern\, drop safe design. \nOlder single action pistols manufactured before the 1980s and lacking a transfer bar safety are the most common type of pistol that lack drop safe design features\, as do some military surplus imports from Eastern bloc countries and Taurus PT-series pistols not fixed during an international safety recall in 2015. These pistols may discharge if dropped and pose a potential safety hazard to our volunteers and students\, and are not permitted. If you have concerns about the safety features of your pistol you should have it inspected by an armorer or gunsmith before class. \nThe following are a good set of guidelines for an appropriate pistol for this event: \n\nbring the pistol you intend to use for concealed carry; leave the brand new pistol you bought the day before the event at home\na medium-frame pistol is often ideal for concealed carry (e.g.\, Glock 19 or similar); smaller pistols are difficult to shoot accurately and larger pistols are uncomfortable to carry all day long\nmake sure your pistol is in good working order; if in doubt\, have it checked by a qualified gunsmith or armorer. A pistol that malfunctions constantly will get you plenty of practice addressing malfunctions but not much practice with the drills\n\nIf you have any questions concerning the suitability of your pistol for this course\, please contact the Event Director. \nRequired Equipment: Please review our suggestions on appropriate Defensive Pistol equipment and plan to bring the following: \n\nmagazines or speed loaders: bring at least THREE (more is better\, especially if you are using a pistol with a capacity of less than 10 rounds)\nholster: a strong side holster that does not collapse when your pistol is drawn (no appendix\, ankle\, shoulder or small-of-back holsters). Either IWB (“inside the waistband”) or OWB (“outside the waistband”) are fine\, but the holster you intend to use for concealed carry would be preferred. An OWB holster is often easier to use if you have never drawn from a holster before but will still allow you to participate fully in the drills we will conduct. The crucial aspect is that your holster MUST hold your firearm securely without letting it move around on your hip; this will necessitate a holster that attaches at TWO POINTS to your gun belt; there are a few holsters that attach to your gun belt at one point and still hold your firearm securely\, but they generally attach over an extended length of your belt effectively simulating two points of attachment.\ngun belt: you will have your pistol on your hip for the entire day. It will seem heavier as the day goes on and a good\, sturdy gun belt will minimize that feeling. A standard belt isn’t going to cut it here; spend a couple of dollars on a quality gun belt if you don’t already have one.\nmagazine carrier (you can get by with putting spare magazines in a pocket\, but a magazine carrier is much preferred)\na way to take notes\nhearing protection\neye protection\nplenty of your preferred method of hydration (both plain water and something to replace electrolytes you will lose via sweating is ideal)\nclothing appropriate for the weather (loose fitting clothing\, especially around the neck\, is discouraged as hot brass can lodge against the skin and cause a burn)\n\nOptional Equipment: The following equipment is not required but may come in handy at the event: \n\nhat with a brim (to deflect flying hot brass)\nfolding chair\nlunch\nsnacks\nsunscreen and/or bug spray\n\nOverview: Intermediate Defensive Pistol begins with an overview of the range rules\, safety procedures and quick reminder of the fundamentals from basic pistol. From there\, the course focuses on the mechanics of defensive pistol shooting. Topics covered include the following: \n\nreview of reloading (administrative\, tactical\, emergency)\, draw stroke\, grip\, etc.\none-hand up drills\ndiscussion of shooting on the move\n\nretrograde\, forward\, transverse\nshooting on the move drills\n\n\ndiscussion of shooting positions\n\nprone\, kneeling\, urban prone\, supine\nshooting from positions\n\n\ndiscussion of the use of concealment and cover\n\nbox drill\n\n\ndiscussion of multiple target engagement\n\nEl Presidente/Mozambique drill\nFigure 8 drill\n\n\nadditional topics as class size and time permit\n\nAdditional Event Information\nMinors (under 18 years old) must be mature enough to follow the instruction and perform the drills as well as have a parent or legal guardian present during the event. \nAdditional Questions?\nJohn Viray is available at the email address below to answer questions both before and after the course.

For Advanced Defensive Rifle\, we will be giving away a SIGNED copy of Marcus Luttrell’s “Lone Survivor“. The book was later made into a film by the same name. \nMarcus is the recipient of the Navy Cross in recognition of his heroism in Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan in 2005. Marcus was the only survivor of SEAL Team 10’s engagement with a superior force in the remote Afghan mountains. Marcus nearly died from injuries sustained during the battle but was found and nursed back to health by Pashtun villagers in the area. His Seal Team 10 teammates were all killed during the fighting. \nMarcus returned home and founded the Lone Survivor Foundation in 2010 to “restore\, empower\, and renew hope for our wounded warriors and their families through health\, wellness\, and therapeutic support.” He later founded Team Never Quit whose mission “embodies the heart of a warrior\, men and women in all walks of life who have faced incredible hardship but have chosen not only to survive\, but to learn from the experience and make themselves and those around them stronger for it. Our commitment is to honor those who have fallen\, stand with those who have survived\, and share their stories that we might inspire others to Never Quit.” URL:https://devel.reveresriders.org/event/2025-jul-12-seelyville-in/ LOCATION:Lost Creek Conservation Club (Seelyville\, IN)\, 1330 North Main Street\, Terre Haute\, IN\, 47803\, United States CATEGORIES:Advanced Defensive Rifle,Events in Illinois,Events in Indiana,Live-Fire Event,Regular Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://devel.reveresriders.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Bedford-Carbine-8.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Brad 'Brad69' Hammack":MAILTO:bhamm019@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20250621T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20250622T170000 DTSTAMP:20260410T082637 CREATED:20241220T032000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250302T194429Z UID:38210-1750496400-1750611600@devel.reveresriders.org SUMMARY:Basic Defensive Rifle/Intermediate Defensive Rifle - One Day/Two Day (Seelyville\, IN) DESCRIPTION:This will be a back-to-back running of our Basic Defensive Rifle and Intermediate Defensive Rifle courses.

All firing in this course will be within 200 yards with a focus on the close quarters environment from contact to 50 yards. You will get a workout with all the skills needed to run the carbine from 7-100 yards. At some venues we may work out to the battlesight zero of your carbine (200-300 yards) but the focus is on short range marksmanship.

This is not an introductory course and participants are expected to be capable of the following: \n\nhandling their firearm in a safe manner\nkeeping shots within a 6″ square from approximately 7 yards\n\nEstimated Ammunition Required: About 250 rounds/day. \nPistol Requirements: Pistols should be of a modern\, drop safe design. \nOlder single action pistols manufactured before the 1980s and lacking a transfer bar safety are the most common type of pistol that lack drop safe design features\, as do some military surplus imports from Eastern bloc countries and Taurus PT-series pistols not fixed during an international safety recall in 2015. These pistols may discharge if dropped and pose a potential safety hazard to our volunteers and students\, and are not permitted. If you have concerns about the safety features of your pistol you should have it inspected by an armorer or gunsmith before class. \nThe following are a good set of guidelines for an appropriate pistol for this event: \n\nbring the pistol you intend to use for concealed carry; leave the brand new pistol you bought the day before the event at home\na rimfire pistol can be used for practice during some of the drills with a transition to your centerfire pistol to complete the drill (see the section on Rimfire Pistols below)\na medium-frame pistol is often ideal for concealed carry (e.g.\, Glock 19 or similar); smaller pistols are difficult to shoot accurately and larger pistols are uncomfortable to carry all day long\nmake sure your pistol is in good working order; if in doubt\, have it checked by a qualified gunsmith or armorer. A pistol that malfunctions constantly will get you plenty of practice addressing malfunctions but not much practice with the drills\n\nIf you have any questions concerning the suitability of your pistol for this course\, please contact the Event Director. \n\n\n\n\nRimfire Pistols: Due to the current cost and lack of availability of centerfire ammunition\, rimfire pistols will be allowed at this event subject to the following: \n\nsuitable centerfire/rimfire pistol combinations\, in order of preference\, are:\n\npairs of pistols such as the Glock 19 and Glock 44 that are nearly identical in size and function\npistols that are not as similar as the Glock 19/Glock 44 but still properly fit the same holster\nyour concealed carry centerfire pistol along with a .22LR conversion kit that is easy enough to swap in/out in a short period of time (<1 minute) without tools (e.g.\, a Glock 19 and the Advantage Arms .22LR Conversion Kit)\nseparate centerfire and rimfire pistols along with appropriate holsters for both (in a pinch\, you will be able to get by without a proper holster for your rimfire pistol)\n\n\nbring 250 rounds of quality rimfire ammunition (be picky about your rimfire ammunition as the cheap stuff is usually not very reliable; you can’t go wrong with CCI Mini-Mag\, Fiocchi\, or Federal)\nbring THREE (or more) magazines for your rimfire pistol (this is in addition to the THREE or more magazines for your centerfire pistol)\nappropriate holsters for both pistols (assuming your rimfire pistol does not properly fit your centerfire pistol holster)\n\nIT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SATISFACTORILY COMPLETE THIS COURSE WITH ONLY A RIMFIRE PISTOL! \nDuring the course\, you will use your rimfire pistol as initial practice for a given drill and then transition to your centerfire pistol to demonstrate competency.\n\n\n\n\nRequired Equipment: Please review our suggestions on appropriate Defensive Pistol equipment and plan to bring the following: \n\nmagazines or speed loaders: bring at least THREE (more is better\, especially if you are using a pistol with a capacity of less than 10 rounds)\nholster: a strong side holster that does not collapse when your pistol is drawn (no appendix\, ankle\, shoulder or small-of-back holsters). Either IWB (“inside the waistband”) or OWB (“outside the waistband”) are fine\, but the holster you intend to use for concealed carry would be preferred. An OWB holster is often easier to use if you have never drawn from a holster before but will still allow you to participate fully in the drills we will conduct. The crucial aspect is that your holster MUST hold your firearm securely without letting it move around on your hip; this will necessitate a holster that attaches at TWO POINTS to your gun belt; there are a few holsters that attach to your gun belt at one point and still hold your firearm securely\, but they generally attach over an extended length of your belt effectively simulating two points of attachment.\ngun belt: you will have your pistol on your hip for the entire day. It will seem heavier as the day goes on and a good\, sturdy gun belt will minimize that feeling.

You should be able to consistently hit a 3×5 index card at 15 yards while standing. You should be familiar with basic operation of your carbine. If you cannot meet the accuracy suggestion then you may be frustrated at carbine class and be better served learning the fundamentals of marksmanship at a Basic Rifle clinic. \nEstimated Ammunition Required: 400 rounds/day \nRifle Requirements: This course is conducted as an NRA America’s Rifle Challenge clinic and\, as such\, the AR-15 is an ideal rifle to bring. However\, any safe semi-automatic carbine can be used (Mini-14\, AK-47\, Tavor\, etc.). \nRequired Equipment: Please review our suggestions on appropriate Basic Defensive Rifle equipment and plan to bring the following: \n\nat least four (4) magazines for your carbine (more is better)\nsling for your rifle (a 2-point adjustable sling is recommended although a 1-point sling will work fine if that is your preference; the US GI sling is probably not ideal for this event)\na way to take notes\nhearing protection\neye protection\nplenty of your preferred method of hydration (both plain water and something to replace electrolytes you will lose via sweating is ideal)\n\nOptional Equipment: The following equipment is not required but may come in handy at the event: \n\ncase for your rifle\nhat with a brim (to deflect flying hot brass)\nknee/elbow pads (we may shoot from kneeling and other positions)\nfolding chair\nlunch\nsnacks\nsunscreen and/or bug spray\n\nOverview: Attendees will experience shooting in multiple firing positions at varying distances and will learn modern defensive shooting skills on the AR platform. All firing in this course will be within 200 yards with a focus on the close quarters environment from contact to 50 yards. You will get a workout with all the skills needed to run the carbine from 7-100 yards. At some venues we may work out to the battlesight zero of your carbine (200-300 yards) but the focus is on short range marksmanship. Topics will include the following: \n\nRules for safe gun handling & range rules\nCarbine parts and operation & ammunition\nShooting Fundamentals\n\nFiring Stance: Standing\nFive steps to firing each shot\nZero rifles as required\n\n\nSituational Awareness and Scanning\nRapid Magazine Changes (Tactical Reloads)\nShort Range Marksmanship Techniques\n\nTailoring the five steps to firing each shot to the close quarters environment\nControlled Pairs\nRecoil Management\n\n\nClearing Malfunctions/Stoppages\n\nEmergency/Speed Reloads\nFailure to Fire\nFailure to Eject\nDouble Feed\n\n\nSpecial Subjects (most one-day clinics will cover only a few of these — two day clinics will cover most or all)\n\nZeroing Carbines & Rifles\nCarbine Trajectory and Zero Issues\nBarricades\nMovement\nKneeling Position\nProne Position\nUse of the sling to support shooting stability\nNatural Point of Aim\nFiring from retention\nField Stripping & Cleaning the AR-15\n\n\nClassic WW2 Carbine Qualifier\nRevere’s Riders Carbine Skills Test\n\nThis class is moderately physically demanding. We will be on our feet much of the day\, moving between various positions on the range. We will be shooting from different positions throughout the day. \nPlease contact the event director if you intend to bring a different type of firearm other than an AR-15; we can probably accommodate learning on your preferred platform but want to ensure you will not be frustrated. \nThe Spirit of 1776\nPicking up where “The Midnight Ride” concludes\, the Spirit of 1776 traces the first full year of the American war for independence. From the high point of the Evacuation of Boston to the lows of early winter of 1776\, follow the Continental Army as they are forced to flee across New York and New Jersey. Learn about the nearly insurmountable challenges they faced and the hope\, faith and daring that pulled Victory out of certain defeat. \nIf you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to face down a huge amphibious armada invading New York City\, shiver around a campfire reading about “summer soldiers and sunshine patriots\,” or gamble it all on a desperate crossing of the Delaware River for “Liberty or Death” then you need to hear the Spirit of 1776. \nThis exciting tale will be woven throughout the day’s marksmanship events.

If after reading the event description you would like to participate\, please contact the Event Director to request an invitation. \nBasic Low Light Pistol Overview\nPrerequisites: Suggested—Revere’s Riders Defensive Pistol or similar. This is not an introductory course and participants are expected to be capable of the following: \n\nhandling their firearm in a safe manner\nkeeping shots within a 6″ square from approximately 7 yards\n\nDue to the intrinsic risks associated with training in low-light conditions\, the Event Director will approve each attendee for this course. \nEstimated Ammunition Required: About 300-500 rounds. \nPistol Requirements: Pistols should be of a modern\, drop safe design. \nOlder single action pistols manufactured before the 1980s and lacking a transfer bar safety are the most common type of pistol that lack drop safe design features\, as do some military surplus imports from Eastern bloc countries and Taurus PT-series pistols not fixed during an international safety recall in 2015. These pistols may discharge if dropped and pose a potential safety hazard to our volunteers and students\, and are not permitted. If you have concerns about the safety features of your pistol you should have it inspected by an armorer or gunsmith before class. \nThe following are a good set of guidelines for an appropriate pistol for this event: \n\nbring the pistol you intend to use for concealed carry; leave the brand new pistol you bought the day before the event at home\na medium-frame pistol is often ideal for concealed carry (e.g.\, Glock 19 or similar); smaller pistols are difficult to shoot accurately and larger pistols are uncomfortable to carry all day long\nmake sure your pistol is in good working order; if in doubt\, have it checked by a qualified gunsmith or armorer. A pistol that malfunctions constantly will get you plenty of practice addressing malfunctions but not much practice with the drills\n\nIf you have any questions concerning the suitability of your pistol for this course\, please contact the Event Director. \nRequired Equipment: Please review our suggestions on appropriate Defensive Pistol equipment and plan to bring the following: \n\nreliable\, high-intensity hand-held light (lanyard recommended)\nmagazines or speed loaders: bring at least FIVE (more is better\, especially if you are using a pistol with a capacity of less than 10 rounds)\nholster: a strong side holster that does not collapse when your pistol is drawn (no appendix\, ankle\, shoulder or small-of-back holsters). Either IWB (“inside the waistband”) or OWB (“outside the waistband”) are fine\, but the holster you intend to use for concealed carry would be preferred. An OWB holster is often easier to use if you have never drawn from a holster before but will still allow you to participate fully in the drills we will conduct.

The class will focus on the use of modern\, high intensity flashlights and their applications to defensive use in conjunction with handguns. Topics will include acquisition of information\, use of handheld flashlights both with and without firearms\, use of weapon-mounted flashlights\, use of supplemental sighting devices (e.g. lasers)\, use of tritium night sights\, etc. \nAdditional Questions?\nJohn Viray is available at the email address below to answer questions both before and after the course.

The unique venue for this event requires that we share your name and other personal information you submit to Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center (CAJMTC)\, Military Police and the Range Control office. Your information will not be used in any manner other than to allow your admittance to the installation and to contact you regarding this event. Pre-registration is required so that we can forward your information to CAJMTC in time for the event. You are also responsible for reading the below additional range information specific to Camp Atterbury. Please keep in mind that we are using a military facility and military rules and discipline are in force. \nRefund Policy\nEvent will be held RAIN or SHINE!\nCamp Atterbury is an active military installation\, as such we may have our scheduled access removed as late as the day before the event. Refunds will only be issued for this event due to cancellation of the event by military authorities. Absolutely no refunds will be given for any other reason. \nAdditional Range Information\nArrival Time \nYou MUST Arrive On Time\nPlan to arrive NO LATER than 7:45AM. Anyone arriving later than this will not be allowed to participate in the event and your event fees will not be refunded. This is due to the need to meet at Range Control and proceed to the range as a group. We will not wait for you; plan to be early. \nBase Firearms Policy \nCAJMTC firearms policy—NO LOADED FIREARMS PERMITTED ON BASE. Concealed carry is NOT ALLOWED on base; you may only load a firearm while on a designated range. Before you proceed to to the base entrance and attempt to pass through security\, make sure that all firearms in your vehicle and on your person (don’t forget your concealed carry sidearm) are unloaded\, in a secure case and separated from your ammunition. This is generally Indiana state law (see IC 35-47-2-1). If you are refused entry to the base for any reason\, your event fees will not be refunded. \nDirections to Range Control \nYou will be required to pass through the Camp Atterbury main gate to access the military side of the base. When asked\, tell gate security that you are there for the Revere’s Riders event along with any other information gate security requests. IMPORTANT—do NOT attempt to go to the range on your own. There are numerous ranges at Camp Atterbury and any number of them can be “hot” at any given time. There are ranges for pistols\, rifles\, artillery as well as strafing (witnessing an A-10 Warthog engaging in a strafing run is awe inspiring from a distance); some of the ranges involve firing over roadways (if the range is “hot”\, these should be blockaded\, but better safe than sorry). Wandering onto any of these ranges while they are “hot” could lead to a VERY bad day. Range Control is reached by continuing south on the entrance road (Eggleston Street). Range Control will be on your left just before County Road 900 South. Himsel Airfield will be on your right just beyond the intersection of Eggleston Street and CR 900 S. \nOvernight Accommodations\nCivilian lodging is available on base for those who wish to stay overnight.

Paul Revere did not ride alone – many individuals played crucial roles in the events of April 19th\, 1775. \nThis history presentation begins with alarm riders warning “the Regulars are out!” You’ll hear about the dramatic stand on Lexington Green and the “shots heard ’round the world” at Concord’s North Bridge. The tale concludes with harrowing life-or-death choices made along the 17 mile “battle road.” \nThis exciting tale will be woven throughout the day’s marksmanship events. \nAdditional Event Information\nSpectators are welcome but will be asked to remain a safe distance from the firing line (ear protection is required for all spectators; eye protection is optional). \nYour ticket price includes range fees and lunch. \nEvent Sponsors\n\n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n XS Sights\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Glock\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Radian Weapons\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Pioneer Arms\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n 101 Tech USA\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Palmetto State Armory\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Kestrel Meters\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Mantis\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Daniel Defense\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Wheeler Tools\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Stag Arms\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Strikeman\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Magpul\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Premier Arms\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Schmid Inside\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Kahr Arms\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Meprolight\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n ATI Outdoors\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n UM Tactical\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Caldwell\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Briley\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n LWRC International\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n A&A Optics\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Eva-Dry\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n 3M/Peltor\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Vortex Optics\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n KCI Mags\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Timber Creek Outdoors\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Timney Triggers\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Criterion Barrels URL:https://devel.reveresriders.org/event/2024-may-4-zionsville-in/ LOCATION:Gray Property (Zionsville\, IN)\, 9825 E 100 N\, Zionsville\,\, IN\, 46077\, United States CATEGORIES:Events in Illinois,Events in Indiana,Events in Kentucky,Events in Michigan,Events in Ohio,Live-Fire Event,Marty Brown Memorial,Non-Discounted Event,Rimfire Friendly ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://devel.reveresriders.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/featured_mbmo_rifle_2.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Phil Brown":MAILTO:philbrown@reveresriders.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20240323T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20240323T160000 DTSTAMP:20260410T082637 CREATED:20231219T020207Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240311T020921Z UID:35266-1711180800-1711209600@devel.reveresriders.org SUMMARY:Intro to Defensive Pistol - One Day (Seelyville\, IN) DESCRIPTION:Intro to Defensive Pistol Overview\nPrerequisites: Suggested—Revere’s Riders Revere’s Riders Basic Pistol or similar. This is not an introductory course and participants are expected to be capable of the following: \n\nhandling their firearm in a safe manner\nkeeping shots within a 6″ square from approximately 7 yards\n\nEstimated Ammunition Required: About 250 rounds/day. \nPistol Requirements: Pistols should be of a modern\, drop safe design. \nOlder single action pistols manufactured before the 1980s and lacking a transfer bar safety are the most common type of pistol that lack drop safe design features\, as do some military surplus imports from Eastern bloc countries and Taurus PT-series pistols not fixed during an international safety recall in 2015. These pistols may discharge if dropped and pose a potential safety hazard to our volunteers and students\, and are not permitted. If you have concerns about the safety features of your pistol you should have it inspected by an armorer or gunsmith before class. \nThe following are a good set of guidelines for an appropriate pistol for this event: \n\nbring the pistol you intend to use for concealed carry; leave the brand new pistol you bought the day before the event at home\na rimfire pistol can be used for practice during some of the drills with a transition to your centerfire pistol to complete the drill (see the section on Rimfire Pistols below)\na medium-frame pistol is often ideal for concealed carry (e.g.\, Glock 19 or similar); smaller pistols are difficult to shoot accurately and larger pistols are uncomfortable to carry all day long\nmake sure your pistol is in good working order; if in doubt\, have it checked by a qualified gunsmith or armorer. A pistol that malfunctions constantly will get you plenty of practice addressing malfunctions but not much practice with the drills\n\nIf you have any questions concerning the suitability of your pistol for this course\, please contact the Event Director. \n\n\n\n\nRimfire Pistols: Due to the current cost and lack of availability of centerfire ammunition\, rimfire pistols will be allowed at this event subject to the following: \n\nsuitable centerfire/rimfire pistol combinations\, in order of preference\, are:\n\npairs of pistols such as the Glock 19 and Glock 44 that are nearly identical in size and function\npistols that are not as similar as the Glock 19/Glock 44 but still properly fit the same holster\nyour concealed carry centerfire pistol along with a .22LR conversion kit that is easy enough to swap in/out in a short period of time (<1 minute) without tools (e.g.\, a Glock 19 and the Advantage Arms .22LR Conversion Kit)\nseparate centerfire and rimfire pistols along with appropriate holsters for both (in a pinch\, you will be able to get by without a proper holster for your rimfire pistol)\n\n\nbring 250 rounds of quality rimfire ammunition (be picky about your rimfire ammunition as the cheap stuff is usually not very reliable; you can’t go wrong with CCI Mini-Mag\, Fiocchi\, or Federal)\nbring THREE (or more) magazines for your rimfire pistol (this is in addition to the THREE or more magazines for your centerfire pistol)\nappropriate holsters for both pistols (assuming your rimfire pistol does not properly fit your centerfire pistol holster)\n\nIT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SATISFACTORILY COMPLETE THIS COURSE WITH ONLY A RIMFIRE PISTOL! \nDuring the course\, you will use your rimfire pistol as initial practice for a given drill and then transition to your centerfire pistol to demonstrate competency.\n\n\n\n\nRequired Equipment: Please review our suggestions on appropriate Defensive Pistol equipment and plan to bring the following: \n\nmagazines or speed loaders: bring at least THREE (more is better\, especially if you are using a pistol with a capacity of less than 10 rounds)\nholster: a strong side holster that does not collapse when your pistol is drawn (no appendix\, ankle\, shoulder or small-of-back holsters). Either IWB (“inside the waistband”) or OWB (“outside the waistband”) are fine\, but the holster you intend to use for concealed carry would be preferred. An OWB holster is often easier to use if you have never drawn from a holster before but will still allow you to participate fully in the drills we will conduct. The crucial aspect is that your holster MUST hold your firearm securely without letting it move around on your hip; this will necessitate a holster that attaches at TWO POINTS to your gun belt; there are a few holsters that attach to your gun belt at one point and still hold your firearm securely\, but they generally attach over an extended length of your belt effectively simulating two points of attachment.\ngun belt: you will have your pistol on your hip for the entire day. It will seem heavier as the day goes on and a good\, sturdy gun belt will minimize that feeling. A standard belt isn’t going to cut it here; spend a couple of dollars on a quality gun belt if you don’t already have one.\nmagazine carrier (you can get by with putting spare magazines in a pocket\, but a magazine carrier is much preferred)\na way to take notes\nhearing protection\neye protection\nplenty of your preferred method of hydration (both plain water and something to replace electrolytes you will lose via sweating is ideal)\nclothing appropriate for the weather (loose fitting clothing\, especially around the neck\, is discouraged as hot brass can lodge against the skin and cause a burn)\n\nOptional Equipment: The following equipment is not required but may come in handy at the event: \n\ncase for your pistol\nhat with a brim (to deflect flying hot brass)\nfolding chair\nlunch\nsnacks\nsunscreen and/or bug spray\n\nOverview: Intro to Defensive Pistol begins with an overview of the range rules\, safety procedures and quick reminder of the fundamentals from basic pistol. From there\, the course focuses on the mechanics of defensive pistol shooting.  Lecture topics include: “Why do we do this?”\, the physiological and psychological aspects of dynamic critical incidents for both the “good guy” and the “bad guy”\, firearms and ancillary equipment for defensive use among other topics. Range exercises build on each successive evolution ending the day with a simple drill that rehearses the physical and mental issues dealt with during the class. \nAt the end of the course\, you will have learned a simple drill that will help you internalize the basics of defensive pistol craft. \nAdditional Event Information\nMinors (under 18 years old) must be mature enough to follow the instruction and perform the drills as well as have a parent or legal guardian present during the event. \nAdditional Questions?\nJohn Viray is available at the email address below to answer questions both before and after the course.

Shots will be made at reduced distances of 25-100 yards\, effectively simulating the difficulty of shooting a centerfire rifle at 100-400 yards. \nAll firing in this course will be done from the prone position off a rest and within 100 yards. We will focus on attaining proper come-ups for your rifle/ammo combination. You will save time & money by learning the concepts at this course and then applying them when shooting bigger rifles at longer distances while hunting\, PRS-style shooting\, defensive carbine\, etc. \nThis class is not physically demanding but we will be walking 200yds and getting into and out of the prone position several times throughout the day. \nAttendees should arrive for registration at 8:30 am. Class starts promptly at 9:00! \nTopics of instruction will include the following:\n\nField Shooting to Known Distances: Target Detection/Target Identification\nExternal Ballistics: Effects of Wind\, Temperature and Humidity\nBasic Ballistics Calculations: Using Minutes of Angle (MOA)\nRange Estimation: Field-Expedient methods of determining Range\nData Collection: How to set up a “Dope Book”\n\nShots that Changed History!\nFrom the involvement of Daniel Morgan’s men at the seige of Boston in 1775 to the pivotal shots made by Timothy Murphy at the battle of Yorktown in 1781\, Colonial Marksmen made shots that shifted the course of the American Revolutionary War and\, ultimately\, changed the course of world history! \nHear the tale of these shots – made using the same skills learned in this clinic – woven throughout the day’s course of instruction. \n \nAdditional Information:\nQuestions\, comments\, concerns\, etc.\, please contact the Event Director below.

Arlington\, at the time\, was known as Menotomy and more colonial militiamen were killed at Monotomy than any other place that day. \nBritish Redcoats were retreating back to Boston after being trounced at Concord’s North Bridge and Merriam’s Corner when they encountered heavy resistance along the road. They’d sent out flanking parties to clear the route and one of those parties captured Russell and several other militiamen in the open. \nHear what happened next as this exciting tale is woven throughout the day’s marksmanship events! \n \nAdditional Information: \nQuestions\, comments\, concerns\, etc.\, please contact the Event Director below.

Marksmen will receive an invitation by satisfying one of the following: \n\nshoot a score of Marksman or better on the Revere’s Riders Rifle Qualification Test (must be in the same calendar year as the Invitational)\nsatisfy the Match Director that you are proficient and safe enough to participate\n\nThis is a competition match and no instruction will be provided. \nFor complete match information and rules\, please see the Marty Brown Memorial Invitational Rifle Match Rules page. \nAdditional Event Information\nTicket sales end at 1700 on Nov. 3rd in order for us to get a list of participants to Camp Atterbury security which will allow access to the base. \nTicket price includes all range fees. \nPre-registration is Required\nAll participants must purchase tickets by the DEADLINE of 5:00 PM on November 3\, 2023.  Absolutely no registrations will be allowed after this deadline. The unique venue for this event requires that we share your name and other personal information you submit to Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center (CAJMTC)\, Military Police and the Range Control office. Your information will not be used in any manner other than to allow your admittance to the installation and to contact you regarding this event. Pre-registration is required so that we can forward your information to CAJMTC in time for the event. You are also responsible for reading the below additional range information specific to Camp Atterbury. Please keep in mind that we are using a military facility and military rules and discipline are in force. \nRefund Policy\nEvent will be held RAIN or SHINE!\nCamp Atterbury is an active military installation\, as such we may have our scheduled access removed as late as the day before the event. Refunds will only be issued for this event due to cancellation of the event by military authorities. Absolutely no refunds will be given for any other reason. \nAdditional Range Information\nArrival Time \nYou MUST Arrive On Time\nPlan to arrive NO LATER than 7:45AM. Anyone arriving later than this will not be allowed to participate in the event and your event fees will not be refunded. This is due to the need to meet at Range Control and proceed to the range as a group. We will not wait for you; plan to be early. \nBase Firearms Policy \nCAJMTC firearms policy—NO LOADED FIREARMS PERMITTED ON BASE. Concealed carry is NOT ALLOWED on base; you may only load a firearm while on a designated range. Before you proceed to to the base entrance and attempt to pass through security\, make sure that all firearms in your vehicle and on your person (don’t forget your concealed carry sidearm) are unloaded\, in a secure case and separated from your ammunition. This is generally Indiana state law (see IC 35-47-2-1). If you are refused entry to the base for any reason\, your event fees will not be refunded. \nDirections to Range Control \nYou will be required to pass through the Camp Atterbury main gate to access the military side of the base. When asked\, tell gate security that you are there for the Revere’s Riders event along with any other information gate security requests. IMPORTANT—do NOT attempt to go to the range on your own. There are numerous ranges at Camp Atterbury and any number of them can be “hot” at any given time. There are ranges for pistols\, rifles\, artillery as well as strafing (witnessing an A-10 Warthog engaging in a strafing run is awe inspiring from a distance); some of the ranges involve firing over roadways (if the range is “hot”\, these should be blockaded\, but better safe than sorry). Wandering onto any of these ranges while they are “hot” could lead to a VERY bad day. Range Control is reached by continuing south on the entrance road (Eggleston Street). Range Control will be on your left just before County Road 900 South. Himsel Airfield will be on your right just beyond the intersection of Eggleston Street and CR 900 S. \nOvernight Accommodations\nCivilian lodging is available on base for those who wish to stay overnight. Standard rooms with shared bathroom are $33/night and Deluxe rooms with private bath are $38/night. For reservations\, call the Camp Atterbury Lodging Office at 812-526-1128. Let them know that you are with Revere’s Riders. \nEvent Sponsors\n\n\n \n  \n\n3M Peltor has graciously provided Revere’s Riders with Peltor LiteCom Plus communications headsets for use at this event. These headsets incorporate radios allowing wearers to communicate with each other via their headsets. Extremely convenient for ranges where the target line is manned like Camp Atterbury. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nCentral Indiana High Power Rifle Shooters (CIHRPS) will be assisting Revere’s Riders in running the Marty Brown Memorial Invitational rifle match. CIHPRS holds several rifle matches each month at Camp Atterbury including NRA Highpower\, F-class\, etc. If you have an interest in long-range rifle competition (out to 1\,200 yards)\, then CIHPRS is your club. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Timney Triggers\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Samson Manufacturing\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Pantheon Arms\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Premier Arms\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n HIVIZ Shooting Systems\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n D&E Printing\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n A&A Optics\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Schmid Inside\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Precision Reflex\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Eley Ammunition\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Vortex Optics\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Briley\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Mantis\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Palmetto State Armory\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Voodoo Tactical\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Streamlight\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n CVA\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n 3M/Peltor\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Magpul\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Pioneer Arms\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Timber Creek Outdoors\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Strikeman\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n LWRC International\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Crimson Trace\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Crossbreed Holsters\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Kestrel Meters\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Meprolight\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Ontario Knife Co\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Ruger\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n ProMag/Archangel\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n XS Sights URL:https://devel.reveresriders.org/event/2023-marty-brown-memorial-invitational/ LOCATION:Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center (Edinburgh\, IN)\, County Rd 800 S\, Edinburg\, IN\, 46131\, United States CATEGORIES:Camp Atterbury "Known Distance" Rifle Range,Events in Illinois,Events in Indiana,Events in Kentucky,Events in Michigan,Events in Ohio,Live-Fire Event,Marty Brown Memorial,Non-Discounted Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://devel.reveresriders.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/gallery_thumbnail_2022_mbmi.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Phil Brown":MAILTO:philbrown@reveresriders.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20230916T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20230916T170000 DTSTAMP:20260410T082637 CREATED:20230427T143314Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230628T161401Z UID:32869-1694851200-1694883600@devel.reveresriders.org SUMMARY:Marty Brown Memorial Open Round #2 - One Day Pistol (Zionsville\, IN) DESCRIPTION:A huge “Thank You” to Revere’s Rider’s for sponsoring the Marty Brown Memorial fundraiser to support Ovarian Cancer!

Paul Revere did not ride alone – many individuals played crucial roles in the events of April 19th\, 1775. \nThis history presentation begins with alarm riders warning “the Regulars are out!” You’ll hear about the dramatic stand on Lexington Green and the “shots heard ’round the world” at Concord’s North Bridge.

The tale concludes with harrowing life-or-death choices made along the 17 mile “battle road.” \nThis exciting tale will be woven throughout the day’s marksmanship events. \nAdditional Event Information\nSpectators are welcome but will be asked to remain a safe distance from the firing line (ear protection is required for all spectators; eye protection is optional). \nYour ticket price includes range fees and lunch. \nEvent Sponsors\n\n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Mantis\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n XS Sights\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n HIVIZ Shooting Systems\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Crossbreed Holsters\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Eva-Dry\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Lockdown\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n D&E Printing\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Premier Arms\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Caldwell\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Precision Reflex\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Franchi\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Crimson Trace\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Vortex Optics\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Voodoo Tactical\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Wilson Combat\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n ProMag/Archangel\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n A&A Optics\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n CVA\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Triumph Systems\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Birchwood Casey\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Ontario Knife Co\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Gun Storage Solutions\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Swampfox Optics\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Wheeler Tools\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Timney Triggers\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Tech-Sights\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Tipton\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Henry Repeating Arms\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Magpul URL:https://devel.reveresriders.org/event/2023-jun-3-zionsville-in/ LOCATION:Gray Property (Zionsville\, IN)\, 9825 E 100 N\, Zionsville\,\, IN\, 46077\, United States CATEGORIES:Events in Illinois,Events in Indiana,Events in Kentucky,Events in Michigan,Events in Ohio,Live-Fire Event,Marty Brown Memorial,Non-Discounted Event,Rimfire Friendly ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://devel.reveresriders.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/featured_mbmo_rifle.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Phil Brown":MAILTO:philbrown@reveresriders.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20230513T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20230513T160000 DTSTAMP:20260410T082637 CREATED:20221207T213126Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221209T182742Z UID:32544-1683964800-1683993600@devel.reveresriders.org SUMMARY:Ladies Only Pistol 100 (Basic Pistol) – One Day (Zionsville\, IN) DESCRIPTION:This will be a special LADIES ONLY event.

This is not an introductory course and participants are expected to be capable of the following: \n\nhandling their firearm in a safe manner\nkeeping shots within a 6″ square from approximately 7 yards\n\nEstimated Ammunition Required: About 250 rounds/day. \nPistol Requirements: Pistols should be of a modern\, drop safe design. \nOlder single action pistols manufactured before the 1980s and lacking a transfer bar safety are the most common type of pistol that lack drop safe design features\, as do some military surplus imports from Eastern bloc countries and Taurus PT-series pistols not fixed during an international safety recall in 2015. These pistols may discharge if dropped and pose a potential safety hazard to our volunteers and students\, and are not permitted. If you have concerns about the safety features of your pistol you should have it inspected by an armorer or gunsmith before class. \nThe following are a good set of guidelines for an appropriate pistol for this event: \n\nbring the pistol you intend to use for concealed carry; leave the brand new pistol you bought the day before the event at home\na rimfire pistol can be used for practice during some of the drills with a transition to your centerfire pistol to complete the drill (see the section on Rimfire Pistols below)\na medium-frame pistol is often ideal for concealed carry (e.g.\, Glock 19 or similar); smaller pistols are difficult to shoot accurately and larger pistols are uncomfortable to carry all day long\nmake sure your pistol is in good working order; if in doubt\, have it checked by a qualified gunsmith or armorer. A pistol that malfunctions constantly will get you plenty of practice addressing malfunctions but not much practice with the drills\n\nIf you have any questions concerning the suitability of your pistol for this course\, please contact the Event Director. \n\n\n\n\nRimfire Pistols: Due to the current cost and lack of availability of centerfire ammunition\, rimfire pistols will be allowed at this event subject to the following: \n\nsuitable centerfire/rimfire pistol combinations\, in order of preference\, are:\n\npairs of pistols such as the Glock 19 and Glock 44 that are nearly identical in size and function\npistols that are not as similar as the Glock 19/Glock 44 but still properly fit the same holster\nyour concealed carry centerfire pistol along with a .22LR conversion kit that is easy enough to swap in/out in a short period of time (<1 minute) without tools (e.g.\, a Glock 19 and the Advantage Arms .22LR Conversion Kit)\nseparate centerfire and rimfire pistols along with appropriate holsters for both (in a pinch\, you will be able to get by without a proper holster for your rimfire pistol)\n\n\nbring 250 rounds of quality rimfire ammunition (be picky about your rimfire ammunition as the cheap stuff is usually not very reliable; you can’t go wrong with CCI Mini-Mag\, Fiocchi\, or Federal)\nbring THREE (or more) magazines for your rimfire pistol (this is in addition to the THREE or more magazines for your centerfire pistol)\nappropriate holsters for both pistols (assuming your rimfire pistol does not properly fit your centerfire pistol holster)\n\nIT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SATISFACTORILY COMPLETE THIS COURSE WITH ONLY A RIMFIRE PISTOL! \nDuring the course\, you will use your rimfire pistol as initial practice for a given drill and then transition to your centerfire pistol to demonstrate competency.\n\n\n\n\nRequired Equipment: Please review our suggestions on appropriate Pistol 145 equipment and plan to bring the following: \n\nmagazines or speed loaders: bring at least THREE (more is better\, especially if you are using a pistol with a capacity of less than 10 rounds)\nholster: a strong side holster that does not collapse when your pistol is drawn (no appendix\, ankle\, shoulder or small-of-back holsters). Either IWB (“inside the waistband”) or OWB (“outside the waistband”) are fine\, but the holster you intend to use for concealed carry would be preferred. An OWB holster is often easier to use if you have never drawn from a holster before but will still allow you to participate fully in the drills we will conduct. The crucial aspect is that your holster MUST hold your firearm securely without letting it move around on your hip; this will necessitate a holster that attaches at TWO POINTS to your gun belt; there are a few holsters that attach to your gun belt at one point and still hold your firearm securely\, but they generally attach over an extended length of your belt effectively simulating two points of attachment.\ngun belt: you will have your pistol on your hip for the entire day. It will seem heavier as the day goes on and a good\, sturdy gun belt will minimize that feeling. A standard belt isn’t going to cut it here; spend a couple of dollars on a quality gun belt if you don’t already have one.\nmagazine carrier (you can get by with putting spare magazines in a pocket\, but a magazine carrier is much preferred)\na way to take notes\nhearing protection\neye protection\nplenty of your preferred method of hydration (both plain water and something to replace electrolytes you will lose via sweating is ideal)\nclothing appropriate for the weather (loose fitting clothing\, especially around the neck\, is discouraged as hot brass can lodge against the skin and cause a burn)\n\nOptional Equipment: The following equipment is not required but may come in handy at the event: \n\ncase for your pistol\nhat with a brim (to deflect flying hot brass)\nfolding chair\nlunch\nsnacks\nsunscreen and/or bug spray\n\nOverview: Pistol 145 begins with an overview of the range rules\, safety procedures and quick reminder of the fundamentals from basic pistol. From there\, the course focuses on the mechanics of defensive pistol shooting.  Lecture topics include: “Why do we do this?”\, the physiological and psychological aspects of dynamic critical incidents for both the “good guy” and the “bad guy”\, firearms and ancillary equipment for defensive use among other topics. Range exercises build on each successive evolution ending the day with a simple drill that rehearses the physical and mental issues dealt with during the class. \nAt the end of the course\, you will have learned a simple drill that will help you internalize the basics of defensive pistol craft. \nAdditional Event Information\nMinors (under 18 years old) must be mature enough to follow the instruction and perform the drills as well as have a parent or legal guardian present during the event. \nAdditional Questions?\nJohn is available at the email address below to answer questions both before and after the course.
