BRM Alumni Days

Audience:  Former Blue Ridge Marksmanship students. You can sign up for one day or both. We will meet up at the overhang each morning! Lunch provided. This will be limited to the first 12 Alumni that sign up.  

Scope:  This will be a relaxed setting with a yet Kevin paced day(s). Each day students will be run through a short warm-up and then head directly into some of our favorite courses of fire and skill building drills. Participants should be prepared to train in all weather conditions. This program can be challenging and participants should come to class with an open mind and a good attitude. You will see some familiar drills here and some new ones as well. Prizes will be awarded for the competitions run throughout the day(s).   

These will be two 7 hour training days 0830 am to 3:30 pm with 30 minutes for lunch. We will have hotdogs and hamburgers (Free) with condiments for your lunch otherwise, it is highly recommend that you bring your lunch as you will have no options within 15 mins of the range.
