any more information out there about this? my rifle options would be a single shot .22 or an AK. I'm interested, Myakka City isn't that far from me... I'm under 21, so I can get in free, but do I need anyone over 21 to come with me? can I go for just part of the day sunday? pay the the door?

I would recommend that you take the AK if you can, it will better fit the course of fire for this event. The single shot, while still allowing you to gain valuable skills, will make the full utilization of this course very difficult.
You are under 21 and the course is free to you. You do not need anyone over 21, however, if under 18, you will need an adult with you.
If you are going to attend, PLEASE still register on the web site....This will really help us to better plan resources.
This is a GREAT opportunity to receive valuable instruction for FREE.....difficult to image what might be going on this weekend that would keep a "red blooded American" from jumping through whatever hoops might stand in the way for FREE, quality rifle instruction
You will NOT be allowed to walk up to the event in mid-stream....once the day has started. We have safety briefings at the start of each day and you must attend them to participate in the days events. And you must still complete liability waivers prior to participating.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU ATTEND BOTH DAYS, IF ONLY ONE, THEN SATURDAY. To attend only Sunday, which is "allowed" is to miss the bulk of the course material and our experience is that "Sunday only' folks really miss the real value of the course.
I hope that answers your questions, and feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.
