mactiger Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 If it's going to add an hour and a half to the drive time, then I think it will be better to do the one training stage locally. We will be a little more organized and hopefully focused on the training part, not shooting a match. I thought the match was at the local club when I was originally approached with the idea. I can make it work, and I won't rush anybody for the sake of a match, but doing one training stage will be better, in the long run, than doing a generic stage at the match. The other thing to consider is that if the class runs long on Saturday, we'll have to finish up the classroom material Sunday morning and then shoot. I'm usually done before 1100 on Sunday, giving the students (and myself) time to get home at a decent hour. While I hate to take away competitors from a local match, it's more important to successfully complete the class, and the practical (shooting) portion is half the class. I strongly suggest we do it locally. Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgunz11 Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Then it's settled. We shoot a stage at EAGC on Sunday. Troy can you let us know in advance what you need set up so we can have that done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 All,For the classroom portion of the class I have secured a Audio Visual Conference room here at the W.C. Bradley Co. Corporate HQ in downtown Columbus, GA (1023 Front Ave www.wcbradley.com) for all day the 27th, and 8am to Noon on the 28th. It is in the historic district, on the river. It can handle 120 people, tables and chairs will be setup for us. We have a rear projection screen, with a computer to run a Powerpoint presentation on with remote control. Good air conditions and easy access to restrooms, and ice machine (we can bring in a cooler of sodas). There are some Motels downtown that are rent-by-the hour dives, but I have no experience with them. Walking distance to the Hyatt Hotel, about 10 minutes from my house, but only about 5 min more to the range, than my house, about 25 minutes total to the range. One street away from the main drag, and a handful of eating places for lunch, sandwichs, Mexican, Greek, Oriental, etc, and a micro-brewery or two as well. No additional cost to us for the use of the facility. PM with questions. Mark Mark, Can you give me some more info on the hotel? The only thing they Hyatt website shows is on the north side of town. Nothing downtown. Thanks, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mactiger Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I think an earlier post said that the Marriott downtown is now a Hyatt. If that's the case, it's on the 800 block of Front street, according to Google maps. Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul788 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Is there a hotel everyone is using? Anybody in the area know which one to use? Or is there a hotel giving us a better rate? Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandtime Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 kgunz11, your inbox is full. I signed up for the RO class a while back and due to having to work out of town for most of the last month it had slipped my mind. Is it too late to send in the class fees?. There is still a chance that I will have to work next weekend but will probably be able to pull long hours during the week to accomidate the class. Regardless I feel like I owe you something since I did sign up. Thanks, Jason Phillips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgunz11 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 You will be supplied with a rule book if you do not have one. I suggest bringing a highlighter marker, a notebook for taking notes, and writing utensils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgunz11 Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 We have a last minute opening in the class if someone wants to get in. Someone contacted me after I already sent in the names and numbers to USPSA, but I don't remember who it was. If you still want in, let me know.

leam Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I was able to squeak into the class; thanks Bobby and Troy for that! After initially looking at the class I wasn't sure about it. I'm not that good of a shooter and I doubt anyone would be impressed with my times. However, Troy's instructor bio on nroi.org really made me feel good about showing up. He mentioned in his bio and stressed in class that it's the newer and less experienced shooters that should be hitting RO I. Given the cost of class, mileage, and a hotel room; I'm pleased with the value. Troy is a great instructor, it was awesome to hook up with other folks from the BEnoverse, and I learned a lot! Thanks guys for the class, the socialization, and the brotherhood. I've grown a bit in the past couple days. Leam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
