WI crew roadtrip to MN for a DETC class?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - WI crew roadtrip to MN for a DETC class?

Posted: 4/14/2006 9:37:26 AM EDT

Sully has a home and personal defense class on 8-9 July, and a gunfighting while protecting others class on 9-10 Sept, both in Princeton MN.

Any of the WI crew interested in a road trip? There's a decent hotel nearby, we could make a weekend of it.

I'm up for vehicle tactics in Aug. and protecting others in Sept.,,,if we can't get them scheduled at the DRC....
It's a longshot now but I was prepared to go up April 29-30 for handgun 1-2 if tactical response fell through, May 27-28 defense alternatives is high priority also. I am about 75% making those a go then I'll see what the rest of the summer looks like. Revolver and shotgun are egging at me if I'm ever going to be a contender at 5-gun. Precision rifle is gonna have to be next year.
I would like to take defense alternatives locally, I'm not looking forward to the drive home, my eyes are fubared enough before taking a dose of pepper to the face, and the taser is a nogo in Wisconsin.
I will also carpool for alumni workshops and handgun 1 the next day. I love the DETC beginner classes, the high speed fun all rests on the fundamentals.

There's a ghillie and gear day in the works in MN I am thinking of going up there and pimping some gear, I'm hoping they schedule it close to one of the classes.

I will get with Sully soon and see how many of these classes we can get scheduled locally.

What the heck? If you don't check every day for changes in the calender on the DETC site I guess you miss out. I have been waiting for the calender to come out and now the class I have been waiting to tell people about is at the end of the month???? I guess they are going to miss it, for a whole year again.

What's with no classes at DRC?

I will admidt it has been a couple of weeks since I checked, but it has not been horribly long.

FT: Most of what's on the schedule right now has been available for 11 weeks here (I'm not sure about the calendar on their site).

TT: July probably won't be doable for me, as I'm planning a road trip to Yeager's for the expensive HRCC Med course later that month. September will be out because of work, that I can tell you right now with nothing on my schedule.

Driftless has hosted 3 since Jan 1, and there are still open dates for the fall...

Edit: Today makes 11 weeks.

I must have missed it completely then. I posted in that thread after the last "edited" date and I never saw it at all. I would have informed those who were interested. Now it is just to late.

I got the impression that DRC was going to host another tactical pistol and carbine rifle this year. Or, am I just smoking crack again?

Quit smoking that crack!

There will be a DETC class in June, August and late September. There will be an Defensive Edge alumni training day and a DRC "open" training day every six weeks or so. The details are being worked out.

Sully will post the class schedule soon. It will take me a week to finalize the training shoot dates.

Well, I guess the GWPO class at Driftless in June is gonna work out better than Princeton in Sept. I'd still be up for home / personel defense in July though.

Home Defense will be coming to a rifle club near you, later this year. The class that is in MN but not WI this year is vehicle tactics, which I will be putting on high priority. August 26-27.

Is camping available?
What do accomodations cost in the area?

It's a substantial drive for me.
Trip home is bound to be painful.

You cheese heads comeing across the border in mass will be considered an act of war!

Stan is the only one with a pass through death's occupied territories unless he vouches for you.

All jokeing aside, like BC said vehicle tactics or 5 gun are the ones worth your time cus all the rest will be coming to your neighborhood. Just my 0.00 cents I want more people to attend 5 gun.

I camped out because the motels were full, grass drags. There are these campsites in town just down the road from the Rum River Inn. They were open when I checked around noonish Fri. but they were RV slots packed real tight and too noisy for tent camping. I recon'ed the State Gampground on the way up so I chose to go back there. That's a nice campground I stayed at about 1/2 hour from the range. I got there around noon on Friday and had choice of campground. By evening the place was getting filled up. I take along a cheapo tent to leave set up just so no-one took my site while I was at class Saturday. I wouldn't leave any equipment there, firewood for sale at a non-rape price.

Motels are good but expensive, if we get 4-6 guys we can get the big suite at the Americinn with two bedrooms X 2 beds plus the common area that has a couch. I think that is $160ish split 4-6 ways, I'll have to check but better than the single rate. Staying solo is expensive, BTDT.

Death 451 isn't putting us all up at his place?!?
WTF?

I'd like to see an outline and/or AAR of the home/personal defense class.
That one is a thin maybe.
I'd hate to miss it if it's two days of structure clearing and negotiating stairwells.
It'd sure beat the Lenny Magill video I have. (I can't stop laughing at that guy.)

We'll do protecting others at DRC.
That one is sold already. (She might have to protect the kids one day.)

I'm down for the trip to MN for the vehicle class if it's the only chance at it this year.
Looks like that one will be a solo mission, which would make lodging arrangements much more flexible.
Bunking up with the WI crew for economy is fine by me.
