| Drill Note: |
30 blank cartridges (30 grains only please, heavier charges may be used at other events) and a fitted flash-guard are required for drill days. Interstate members should rally to the major annual events, such as the Easter event, the Green Cockade, and the Taminick encampment in October. All are encouraged to organize local get-togethers wherever possible. Getting together in uniform for drill practice is a great buzz, and encourages interest in our activities. |
