[QUOTE="Guest, post: 42398"] Ian I too have thought about this but my funding contribution staff probobly isn't as large as yours [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] I woudl however be glad to lend my knowledge as an assistant instructor.. hell I can drive to N.C. MT anyway... 2 day will not be enough... I say this from experience in guiding PD shooters... especially the ones that start to get a taste of LR shooting... and I take 2-3 tops.. you are considering taking 8 that in itself is a handful. To have optimum learning it is nice to have a shooter/spotter senerio so to be really effective and to insure they get the maximum bang for there buck you need 1/1 application. This is very crucial to the novice shooters. Day one would be some techincal aspect and equipment explaination and application. Alot of guys may not understand the full potential of their equipment, scopes, ret. lazer range finders etc. Then some refresher on correct shooting techniques, grip, cheek weld, trigger technique etc. then you would break for lunch... believe it or not 8 guys eager to learn in a classroom scenerio could take up alot of time especially if technical questions are asked.... After the lunch break you would need to apply the the mornings discussion but on paper so they can see the results.. you can very easily make a range in that part of the country to 1000 yards that would have 8 benches and prone slots... Day two could be a quick refresher then some field work on life size targets or mock PD towns, or Big Game hunting scenerio... Day 3 reviews and take them to towns etc. Day 4 could be a friendly competition or challenge and alot of shooting... I see that the weekend 2 day thing seems more acceptable but the guys that would attened arn't within driving distance.. so most would need at least a day of travel on the front side and back side of the symposium, so why not give them 3 solid days of instruction and shooting.

I have researched these types of symposiums so to speak and $250-$800 per day is about the price range. Not telling you how to do this but I have some experience and I'd be glad to offer what I know to help you evaluate the reality of this...
