Jay, is this a two day course or a one day course? Date only list one day, but then it says it is a two day course.

What time of day will classes start? It is a a little over 2 hour drive for me to get out there. Not sure if I want to add the expense of a hotel to the weekend if it is a two day course. Might commute both days.

Hoping for a later start for this reason.

It is a two day course; the way the forum software works it only allows you to enter in one date. The start time is currently 8:30 am both days. I am open to a little bit of a later start if the group is okay with it... we do start bumping up against sundown though and there isn't a planned low-light component.

Request for feedback: we've already gotten some feedback about our Quirks of the Kalashnikov class scheduled for the 24th and 25th of November. It seems a lot of people that are interested in attending have family/Thanksgiving stuff scheduled over that weekend. If we were to move the class back a week to November 17th and 18th, would that free anyone up schedule-wise?
