SUMMARY:HOAG -- 17th Annual Indiana Family Star Party and Prairie Grass Observatory Open House
DESCRIPTION:The Indiana Family Star Party and Prairie Grass Observatory Open House welcomes amateur astronomers of all ages to enjoy the dark skies at Prairie Grass Observatory. It is sponsored by Camp Cullom\, the Wabash Valley Astronomical Society\, the Indiana Astronomical Society\, the Muncie Astronomy Club and supported by the Astronomical League. \nMember activities include a Sky Trekker Observers program for kids and novice adults\, speakers who present on various astronomical topics\, a raffle\, solar observing\, nighttime observing\, camping\, and a nature walk. Campground amenities include on-site showers and restrooms\, and an air-conditioned Nature Center. \nHere is more information:\nhttp://www.indianastars.us/\nhttp://www.indianastars.us/starparty/map.html\nhttps://www.campcullom.org/\n******************************************************************************** \nThis Meetup event has no structured agenda. Everyone is welcome so RSVP and we’ll meet someplace on the grounds. \nMy plans are to arrive around 4-5pm then head straight to the solar telescope in hope of seeing solar flares and sunspots before the sun starts to set. The last time I did this I also saw the rare sight of a man-made satellite cross in front of the sun while I was observing. If a speaker is scheduled\, I’ll go to the nature center and listen to a talk. Sometime before sunset I’ll find a table to sit down and eat\, then take a hike on the easy trails in the woods and prairie until dusk. \nThe real activity starts after sunset around 9:40pm at civil twilight. The Prairie Grass Observatory has several large telescopes you can look through. Also\, amateur astronomers from all over the Midwest have their own telescopes set up and will\, upon request\, allow you to look at what they have focused on. The telescopes are various sizes with some the length of a car. Many are focused on different objects in the sky. The astronomers are eager to share their hobby with guests. \nParking: Do not park at the main entrance even if the gate is open. Instead\, go to the east entrance where you will pay admission and be directed where to park.\nBring: Telescope or binoculars\, camera/tripod\, flashlight w/red lens cover\, insect repellent\, reclining lawn chair\, cooler\, water/drinks\, snacks/food. \nNote… white light flashlights are not permitted near the viewing area as they will ruin other people’s night vision. Let me know and I can provide red plastic film to cover your flashlight lens. \nThis is a very dark campground and rural county providing for some of the best stargazing sky in Indiana. Plan on staying after midnight when you’ll have the opportunity to see the Milky Way light up the sky. Shooting stars are not unusual. Right now\, the forecast is for mostly clear sky so we should be able to see Mars\, Jupiter and its moons\, and the rings of Saturn. \nAlso\, SkyView is a free and really good stargazing app to have on your phone for this event.\niPhone https://apps.apple.com/us/app/skyview-lite/id413936865\nAndroid https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t11.skyviewfree&hl=en_US

SUMMARY:IYAK -- West Fork White River - Three Rivers SRA to Paragon
DESCRIPTION:Trip Difficulty: Easy/Moderate. Depending on recent rainfall\, the river may be moving fast and good boat handling skills may be needed from time to time. Logjams and strainers may be expected. \nThis time we will paddle from Three Rivers SRA (Martinsville) to Paragon PAS. The put in site is just a few miles Northwest of Martinsville. Here is the Google Maps link for the route from Indy to the put-in site: [MAP LINK] (https://goo.gl/maps/Vow29T5KQYz) This paddling route will be about 15 miles in length and last approximately five+ hours. \nWe’ll meet at the put-in site and then shuttle vehicles to the take-out site. We should be on the water by 11:30am. It is a long carry (about 400 yards) from the parking to the river at the put-in site so please take that into consideration. \nBring something to eat and we will stop along the river for lunch. After the paddle we will stop at a restaurant on the way home for dinner. \nSuggested items to bring: Wide brimmed hat\, sun block\, hand sanitizer\, sunglasses\, large sponge\, bilge pump or container to bail out water\, water\, snacks\, weather radio\, towel\, change of clothes\, water shoes\, paddling gloves\, rain gear\, bug spray\, safety whistle\, drybags\, sprayskirt\, Ziplock bags\, camera\, binoculars\, rope\, headlamp or flashlight\, a sense of adventure\, and a good dose of humor. For clothing try to use something other than cotton\, especially if the weather is cool. Polypropylene or polyester are good choices since neither holds water and they wick moisture away from you. \nCarpool/Caravan: For those wanting to carpool/caravan to the event please meet at Focus Therapeutic Massage located at 8711 Southeastern Avenue\, Indianapolis\, 46239. Please be there early as we will leave promptly at 9:00am. \nIf you need to rent a kayak please call Freedom Kayak Adventures at[masked]. The cost is $50 for a single seat kayak. \nIf you have any other questions call Paul at[masked]. \nWhen you RSVP please answer ALL of the questions.\n—————————————————————————- \nWAIVER AND RELEASE FROM LIABILITY FOR KAYAKING\, CANOEING AND ALL OTHER ACTIVITIES\nBy RSVPing to\, and attending this event you acknowledge you have read and agree to IYAK’s Waiver of Liability: https://www.meetup.com/IYAK-Indiana-Kayakers/pages/25179426/Liability_Waiver/

SUMMARY:HOAG -- Camping and Kayaking (Or Canoeing) at Chain O' Lakes
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Chain O’ Lakes to camp and kayak or canoe the kettle lakes inside the park. Boat rentals are available or you can bring your own. \nThis is a joint trip with Hoosier Happy Campers\, The HOAG\, and Indy On Fire. If you are a member of more than one of those groups\, you are welcome to RSVP at each one. This may assist you in finding someone to share your campsite and also ride sharing. Each campsite allows a maximum of 2 tents\, 6 people\, and 1 car. There is overflow parking available. \nWe plan to arrive Friday evening\, cook dinner\, and set up camp. We will get up Saturday morning\, cook breakfast\, and then get ready to go paddling. We will probably eat lunch during our paddle at one of the many shelters in the park. I recommend you bring a cooler or sack to pack your lunch in that is waterproof and can float. We will eat dinner at the campsite. As it gets closer to the event\, we may try and plan a community dinner where everyone chips in. Then we will go to the floating bonfire event hosted by the park. \nSunday morning we will pk up our campsites and then check out some of the attractions in the park like the school house before heading home. \nWhat you are responsible for: \nYour own transportation: \nYour own food for all three days. There will be very limited options to purchase food in the park. I also recommend snacks. \nYour own water and water container. There are water locations in the park. The park also has shower houses and restrooms\, including one near where we are staying. \nYour own campsite. We have reserved site 146 for both nights. I recommend you get site 144 or 148 if available. Otherwise\, check out the campground map to find one near us. Non-Electric sites are $19 per night plus fees and taxes. \nYour own tent\, sleeping bag\, and associated camping gear. \nSunscreen\, bug spray\, a hat\, a dry change of clothes. \nA good attitude. \nWe require everyone (regardless of how well you can swim) to wear a PFD while on the water. You will need the DNR sticker on your boat ($5 at any State Park location). Rentals will have the sticker already.

SUMMARY:IYAK -- ~ Cool Off on White River! ~
DESCRIPTION:So what if it’s gonna be the hottest day of the year? I don’t know about you but I am always cooler when I’m on a river! JOIN ME on a (favorite) scenic 10 mile paddle of White River through southern Morgan County! With SO MANY sandbars there will be SO MANY places to pull off on for a relaxing dip in the river!\nAs of 7/16/19 the river has a steady flow so it will be more of a relaxed paddle or\, more like a float\, but skills will be needed on some sections. But do note that “newbies” have nothing to worry about….as long as you are wearing a (required) PFD!\nPACK A LUNCH – for with\, so many sandbars we will stop along the way for some grub.\nOur trip will end immediately after the ONLY overpass of Henderson Ford Road at the PAS. (Public Access Site)\nMAP: https://goo.gl/maps/Tyw9iezavnksv6mj9 \nDO NOTE! The launch site is 300 yards from the parking area so plan accordingly. I have a kayak dolly to use. If Laurie can make it she has one as well.\nHOWEVER\, I am waiting on a callback from the parks department to see if someone can meet us there to unlock the gate long enough to let us unload just a few feet from the river!\n—————————————————————————————————–\nRemember\, IYAK requires everybody to wear a PFD while they are on the water.

SUMMARY:RR -- Pistol 145 (Intro to Defensive Pistol) – One Day (Terre Haute\, IN)
DESCRIPTION:Pistol 145 Overview\nPrerequisites: Suggested—Revere’s Riders Pistol 100 or similar. \nEstimated Ammunition Required: About 500 rounds/day. \nPistol Requirements: You will need a safe pistol (either semi-auto or revolver is fine) with at least five round capacity to fully participate in this course. 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. \nRequired Equipment: You should plan to bring the following equipment to the event: \n\nat least two magazines for your pistol or speed loaders for your revolver\nstrong side holster that does not collapse when your pistol is drawn (no appendix\, ankle or small-of-back holsters)\nmagazine holster\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: 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. \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. \nAll questions concerning the event should be directed to Jake Woodcock (click link below for contact information).

SUMMARY:IYAK -- Moonlight Paddle: Summit Lake State Park
DESCRIPTION:Moonlight Paddle \nSummit Lake State Park \nTrip Difficulty: Easy (Beginner to Advanced Skills) \nWe’re heading back to an IYAK favorite\, Summit Lake State Park\, an hour east of Indy. \nThe moon will be nearly full. With a clear sky\, it will be bright for another great moonlight paddle. Sunset is at 9:13pm\, while the moonrise is at 6:35pm. This means we should have adequate light for paddling\, barring any cloud cover. Make sure you bring a flashlight or headlamp and feel free to add additional lighting to your boat. We’ll paddle around the lake for a few hours then head in. \nThere is always plenty of wildlife to see\, including beavers\, turtles and birds. \nWe will meet at the boat ramp near the boat rental concession area (turn left when you enter the park) at 7:30pm and we will be on the water at 8:00-8:15pm. We’ll paddle past sunset\, enjoy the moonlight\, then head in when the group decides. \nInfo for Summit Lake State Park can be found at http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/2967.htm). Visit our IYAK File Section (http://www.meetup.com/IYAK-Indiana-Kayakers/files/) to download a park brochure. There is a $7 park admission fee (or annual state pass). They have a great camping facility\, if anyone wants to explore the option to make it an overnight trip. \nRentals: For Kayak or SUP rental reservations with Freedom Kayak Adventures\, call[masked]. SUPs and single seat kayaks are $50 and tandem boats are $60 for this event.

SUMMARY:IHMG -- Hike @ Shades State Park
DESCRIPTION:[Please read the entire post before responding.] \nAfter the last couple of local hikes\, we’ll make a road trip west of Indy to this state park that’s well known for being one of the best and most rugged hiking spots in the state. The majority of the hike will be challenging\, and we’ll be encountering a mix of rocky gorges\, stream beds\, staircases\, and ladders. The plan for the day will be to cover around 7 miles in about 2.5 to 3 hours. We’ll be avoiding the worst heat of the day\, but be sure to bring along plenty to drink. \nAdmission to the park is $7 per vehicle. \nWe’ll be meeting at the parking lot in front of Dell Shelter. A map of the park is located here (http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/2970.htm) at the Indiana DNR website. Just click on the “Maps” tab and then choose the Property Map. The Dell Shelter is indicated as “B” on the map. Make the first right you come to after passing through the gate house and then the next left. This will take you down a straight road\, and you’ll pass a parking lot on the right and a pond on the left. You’ll take a right to reach the Dell parking lot. Restrooms are nearby. \nFor anyone interested\, we’ll be getting some late lunch after the hike at the Creekside Lodge in Crawfordsville (https://www.thecreeksidelodge.net/). \nCar Pool Info: We’ll meet on the west side of Bishop Chatard High School\, on the corner of Kessler Boulevard and Crittenden Avenue\, at 5885 Crittenden Avenue. The parking along the street on Crittenden is free on Saturdays. We’ll meet on the sidewalk in front of the school and leave at 8:30am. \nPlease note: \nCar pool @ 8:30am \nHike @ 10am \nTrails: Very Rugged \nTime: 2.5 to 3 hours \nSee you at the hike\, \nMichael

SUMMARY:IYAK — Blast on the Bridge Fireworks Show
DESCRIPTION:Trip Difficulty: Easy \nEverybody loves fireworks so we’re having a special night of Independence Day celebrations! Normally we’d have our Thursday evening paddle on Geist but we’re going to make this change. Arrive around 7:45pm and we’ll try to be on the water by 8pm. We will paddle past Olio Road and get as close to the Fall Creek Road bridge as we can safely to watch the fireworks show. We’ll then paddle back to the launch site. Nothing beats watching fireworks from the water since the reflections add another dimension to the effect \nPower boat traffic is expected to be EXTREMELY heavy so we will exercise extra caution. Everybody must have at least one bright white light and a whistle with them. We will stick close to shore at all times to stay out of the path of the other watercraft. \nPlease note: IYAK guidelines require all participants to wear a PFD while on the water. While it is best to ALWAYS wear your life vest\, at night it is much more important as it is easy to get disoriented in the darkness. Bring some sort of light. Preferably a glowstick to attach to your PFD and a headlamp or flashlight. \nSuggested items to bring: Hand sanitizer\, large sponge\, bilge pump or container to bail out water\, water\, snacks\, towel\, change of clothes\, water shoes\, paddling gloves\, bug spray\, safety whistle\, drybags\, Ziplock bags\, camera\, rope\, headlamp or flashlight\, a sense of adventure\, and a good dose of humor.\nFor clothing try to use something other than cotton\, especially if the weather is cool. Polypropylene or polyester are good choices since neither holds water and they wick moisture away from you. \nHere is the Google Maps link for Geist Park: [LINK] (https://www.google.com/maps/place/10979+Florida+Rd\,+Fortville\,+IN+46040/@39.9485032\,-85.8935166\,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x8814caff918630eb:0x993589194ccc2118!8m2!3d39.9485032!4d-85.8913279?hl=en-US) \nIf you need to rent a kayak contact Freedom Kayak Adventures at[masked].

We’ll be covering around 7 miles altogether. \nAdmission is $7. \nWe’ll meet at the parking lot next to Delaware Lake.

SUMMARY:RR -- LADIES ONLY Pistol 100 (Basic Pistol) – One Day (Richmond\, IN)
DESCRIPTION:This will be a special LADIES ONLY event—thanks for joining us! \nPistol 100 (Basic Pistol) Overview\nPrerequisites: None \nEstimated Ammunition Required: About 300-400 rounds. \nPistol Requirements: You will need a safe pistol with at least five round capacity to fully participate in this course (loaner pistols are generally available; if you need a loaner pistol\, please indicate such when filling out your ticket information). 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. \nRequired Equipment: You should plan to bring the following equipment to the event: \n\nat least two magazines for your pistol\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\nWe will not be drawing from the holster in this class and we will run a “cold range.” You will not need a holster to participate in the class activities. \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: This course\, based on traditional American service pistol fundamentals teaches “Hits Count!” This course lays a sound foundation for students to shoot groups under time pressure from a practical stance. Pistol 100 includes classroom and range time learning to shoot handguns. Students learn: \n\nRules for safe gun handling & range rules\nPistol parts and operation & ammunition\nShooting fundamentals: Five steps to firing each shot\nTwo Handed Grip & Stance: Isoceles\, benchrest\, and low ready positions (Weaver may also be taught)\nNatural Point of Aim\nShot Group Analysis\nClearing Common Stoppages\nWhittemore’s Stand Pistol Qualifier\nClassic WW2 Pistol Qualification Test (optional)\n\nThe Midnight Ride of Paul Revere\nHear the true story of Paul Revere’s famous ride and learn about the events that immediately precipitated the Revolutionary War. 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\nYour range fee is included in the ticket price. \nWin a Copy of “Women Heroes of the American Revolution”\n \nEvery schoolchild knows about Paul Revere’s 20-mile ride to warn that the “Regulars are out!” Far fewer know that 16-year-old Sybil Ludington rode twice as far on her horse Star in order to help her father\, Colonel Ludington\, muster his scattered troops to fight a marauding enemy. Few know about Martha Bratton\, who blew up a supply of gunpowder to keep it from approaching British troops and boldly claimed\, “It was I who did it!” \nWe will be giving away a softcover copy of “Women Heroes of the American Revolution” to one lucky participant at this event.

SUMMARY:MBA -- Tecumseh Trail Through Hike
DESCRIPTION:I am planning a through hike of the Tecumseh Trail for June 21st – 23rd. Depending on the number of attendees\, logistics\, and accommodations things may change slightly. I have hiked the entire trail\, but never as one continuous hike. That is the goal. I expect it to be a serious challenge. It will be hot\, humid\, buggy\, ect… everyone will need to be self-sufficient and everyone hikes at their own risk. Weather will not cancel the event\, so plan accordingly. \nCurrent plans are as follows… \nWho: Anyone equipped and capable to travel 42 miles on foot in 3 days.\nWhat: Point to Point through hike. (North to South)\nWhen: June 21 – 23 (might stage cars the 20th and camp in MMSF)\nWhere: MMSF headquarters @ 7am 6/21/19\nWhy: The Challenge\nHow: Preferably as safe as possible \nhttps://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/indiana/the-tecumseh-trail \nDay 1: Trailhead to Fox Den Shelter. This will be close to 15 miles.\nDay 2: Fox Den to Yellow wood Lake. This will be close to 17 miles.\nDay 3: Yellowwood Lake to the Crooked Creek Parking. About 9 miles\nDay 3+: There is an option for another 4 miles to get to the southern end of the trail (2 miles each way) from the parking area. \nStandard Leave no Trace practice is expected. There will be a cost for the campsite(s) at Yellowwood Lake. Sites are cheap and multiple people can be on each site. Current plan is to stage vehicles as the southern terminus. \nHope to see you there.

SUMMARY:RR -- Battle Road Biathlon – One Day (Bedford\, IN)
DESCRIPTION:Battle Road Biathlon℠ Overview\nThe Battle Road Biathlon is an entry-level competitive event\, as opposed to an instructional clinic like most other Revere’s Riders events.  It has proven to be a challenging and fun time for men and women ages 13-60+ that  demands precision shooting under physical and mental pressure. Deceptively simple in design\, the course should put the participant in a physiological and psychological state “similar” to the colonial militia units on April 19\, 1775 as they desperately sought to effectively engage the “Lobsterbacks” before they could return to the safety of Boston. \nPrerequisites: Suggested—Rifle 125 or similar class. \nIf you have not attended Rifle 125\, then you should be able to reliably hit a 10 MOA target from the standing position\, a 7.5 MOA target from seated and 4 MOA target from prone and should be familiar with basic operation of your rifle. If you cannot meet the accuracy suggestion then you may be frustrated at this event and be better served learning the fundamentals of marksmanship at a Rifle 125 clinic. \nYou should be in reasonably-good health with the ability to run/hike 3/4 mile segments (x4) over varied unpaved terrain. \nRifle and Ammunition Required: A safe and reliable rifle chambered in .22 LR and 15 rounds of reliable .22 LR ammunition. Bringing extra ammunition is always a good idea! \nRequired Equipment: The following equipment is required to participate: \n\nsafe and reliable .22 LR rifle with sights of your choosing (optics or irons) sighted in at 35m (no other caliber will be permitted due to the exclusive design of our proprietary reactive targets)\nat least one and preferably three magazines for your rifle\nhearing protection\neye protection\nappropriate footwear with toe protection: either running shoes\, trail running shoes or hiking boots are recommended.  Sandals or flip-flops would not be appropriate or safe.\nplenty of your preferred method of hydration (both plain water and something to replace electrolytes you will lose via sweating is ideal)\nlunch (leaving the range for lunch is not feasible)\nsnacks\n\nOptional Equipment: In addition\, the following equipment is recommended for this event but not required: \n\nsling for your rifle (this will be a shooting aid ONLY; you will NOT be running/walking with your rifle)\nshooting mat\nsunscreen\nbug repellant\nhat with a brim\nfolding chair\n\nProhibited Equipment: The following equipment WILL NOT BE ALLOWED at this event: \n\nrifle chambered for any caliber other than .22 LR\n\nEvent Details\nOn April 19th\, 1775\, colonial militia companies from Massachusetts and surrounding colonies mustered and sent men to defend Lexington\, Concord and Menotomy from regular British troops who were attempting to destroy arms and powder of the “rebels” stored in Concord. In order to close with and engage the Redcoats before they could return to the safety of their base in Boston\, militia units had to move with urgency and purpose on Battle Road\, as well as other routes. When they did get within range of the Redcoats\, they had to use practiced marksmanship skills to hit their targets. This event will involve moving with urgency and purpose and then quickly transitioning to controlled breathing (and holding still!) while shooting with an elevated heart and respiratory rate. As on April 19th\, 1775\, only hits count! Competitors will shoot .22 rimfire rifles from three positions; standing\, seated and prone at reactive targets 35 meters (38.28 yards) away. Targets will be in three different sizes: \n\nStanding 4.485″ (12.27 MOA)\nSeated/Kneeling 3.12″ (8.53 MOA)\nProne 1.755″ (4.5 MOA)\n\nShooters/Runners/Walkers will each have an individually-assigned firing point and target. After each stage\, rifles will be cleared\, made safe and grounded at the firing points; you will NOT be running/walking with your rifle. \nCourse of Fire\nYou will use a total of 15 rounds; 3 magazines of 5 rounds each is recommended\, but you may use 1 magazine and load it 3 times with 5 rounds at a time. There will be 4 running/walking loops of 1.25K (3/4 mile) each\, for a total of 5K. It will be the same loop each time. These loops will be on unimproved trails through hilly woods and fields. There may be some natural obstacles such as logs or ditches\, but there will be no climbing or crawling. You may either run or walk. In between each running/walking loop is a shooting stage. The reactive targets\, which are plain black bullseyes\, will be in three rows of five targets in each row. Five shots will be taken in each of the three positions\, one shot per target. You either hit it\, or miss it (“Hits Count!”). The reactive target disks turn from black to white to indicate a hit. After shooting each stage\, and clearing/safing/grounding his/her rifle\, the competitor does a separate approximately 125 meter penalty loop for each miss before going back out on the 1.25K loop. The event will progress in the following manner: \n\nSquad start (competitors will start in squads of 8 at the same time)\nRun/walk 1.25K loop\nShoot unsupported standing one shot at each of five targets (top row)\nClear\, make safe and ground rifle\nRun/walk penalty loop once for each missed target\nRun/walk 1.25K loop\nShoot unsupported seated/kneeling (shooter choice) one shot at each of five targets (middle row)\nClear\, make safe and ground rifle\nRun/walk penalty loop once for each missed target\nRun/walk 1.25K loop\nShoot unsupported prone one shot at each of five targets (bottom row)\nClear\, make safe and ground rifle\nRun/walk penalty loop once for each missed target\nRun/walk 1.25K loop\nFinish\n\nThere will not be any traditional target scoring; either you hit the target or you miss it (“Hits Count!”). Since the penalty for missing is running/walking extra distance\, the winner will be determined by time only. After the last competitor from squad #1 finishes\, the targets will be reset and squad #2 will get ready.  Then\, while squad#2 is on the course\, the competitors from squad#1 are encouraged to stay for the famous Bedford fellowship and to cheer on the other competitors.  However\, participants who have finished are not required to stay for the entire day and may leave if necessary. Depending upon the number of registrants\, we may have up to 3 squads.  For those who stay until the last squad finishes\, we will have an awards ceremony\, pictures and some final brief words by the event director. Here is a video of a previous competitor shooting the seated stage.  This will give you an idea of what to expect from the shooting portion.  Note that this shooter previously scored at the Master level on the Revere’s Riders full distance (100-400 yards) “KD”qualifier!
