 this is survival doc. I'm here 2012 US Rifleman's Association boot camp. And I'm talking here with one of the instructors, Bill. And Bill, what you tell us just a little bit about your background? I've been a firearms instructor for about eight years now. We go across mostly what we focus on is rifles and rifles right now. Okay. All right. Now, Bill, tell us a little bit about the United States Rifleman's Association. How long has your group been in existence and what is the purpose of your group? Doc, our group is only about a year, maybe just over a year old. We formed up a group because we wanted to expand what we could teach beyond just rifles to pistols and also perhaps some precision rifle and whatnot. So we've been around for about a year. We've had a number of courses. Pistol is a real big goal for us. Okay. What state are you operating in right now? Currently, we're operating in Illinois, Missouri, and Michigan. We do have at this boot camp, we had some people from Texas, New Mexico, Georgia, and of course, Missouri. So we're looking to expand out and you know, pretty much we'll go wherever people want to get trained on how to properly use a firearm. Okay, great. So your intention is to make this a water organization, a national organization? Yeah, a national organization, but we're not looking to get real big. We're a small group of volunteers that have a lot of interest in teaching the average person how to shoot, and we realize that everybody can't afford, you know, two or $3,000 to go to a gun site or a Thunder Ranch or something like that. So we've tried to keep it affordable and get the message out and get to the people that need the training. Okay. I've been here at our boot camp for four days now. I've participated in the defensive pistol course. It is an excellent course. I've taken defensive pistol before somewhere else and I can tell you the one here and Bill is the instructor for that course. I can tell you the one here is better than anything that I've seen. I can tell you that as far as the cost of this boot camp is concerned, this is a non-profit organization. I believe at this time it's not right. So non-profit organization instructors work voluntarily. They're not getting paid. And the benefit for the shooters is the price is right. It is very, very affordable. And Bill, just to finish up here, just tell us a little bit about the activities that you have going on at boot camp. Okay. Boot camp, we opened up on Saturday, realizing some people have to travel. We made it like a sighting end day, kind of an open range kind of thing. Now, when I say open range, that doesn't mean it was a free for all. We have range officers down there. As usual, safety is first and foremost. Saturday and Sunday, we're sight in days. Sunday, we had a pig roast. Everybody was come and came here. They got to know one another, introduce each other. Monday, we started out with pistol and American marksman, which is learning how to shoot your rifle. We repeated that again on Tuesday, so that people could switch between one class and the other. We also offered some NRA certification classes while we were here. A number of our students were in class on Wednesday. And of course, we had some bad weather come through, but we were able to adapt to that. And Thursday, we ran, that's today, we ran another handgun class and American marksman. And the guys are over at the distance range right now shooting out to 400 yards. So we pretty much cover all the all the gamut, aren't us? Tell everybody what the website is. Website is us rifleman.org, www.us rifleman.org. The boot camp will be down here in Osage Beach, Missouri again next year, probably the same time like the second week, third week in October. And I encourage everybody to come. You will not be disappointed. Are you heard? Check out the website. The price is right. The training is absolutely first class.
