I'm pretty new to Single Action revolvers and live in NC.
What goes on at a Linebaugh seminar? I may be interested in going.
Thanks,
Scott

Here at the Carthage IL seminar, we have classroom time in the mornings. Topics include history, both of firearms, and John's own. Revolver strength and accuracy potential. Usually there are many rabbit trails of tales and historical significance, and that is just a start.
We have had guests speakers on occasion. I cannot say who my favorites are, as they all are great folks who become friends and usually considered family by seminar's end.
Lee Jurras came and shared some if his experiences and knowledge. He was and is a real blessing to me.
Regan Nonneman has frequented here and is alway carrying something that makes me lust.....If we lived closer together, I'm sure we'd have to have someone to babysit to keep us from trouble!
and T.J. Mullen came. He brought a different flavor to the seminar but that is welcome and thought provoking. A great historian and clarifyer of legalities.
AND John, himself. A better "neighbor" in the old sense of the word. A great historian and friend, Not to mention a great gunsmith.
However, these folks may be "known" but a vast amount of knowledge comes from the family that attend. All of them are welcome at my campfire anytime. That is the beauty of this thing. Everyone brings something of value and fresh perspective.
In the afternoons we retire to the range to burn powder out to 300 yards. ( our facility limitations. At the Cody shoot many ply their skill out to 1000 with wheelguns) We also do penetration testing in wet paper and paper with bone. I usually pick up at least two gaylords of newspaper and 2+ 55 gallon barrels of beef femur for the testing.
Since this is the 9th year at Carthage, I know have as many years of penetration testing results from 22 long rifle thru .73 caliber rifles shooting 880 grain and 1040 grain hardcast slugs. After about 25 of them my wife stopped me and said I was bleeding. I didn't remember hitting my nose with my thumb during recoil, and she replied, "NO, your shoulder". Well I split the skin over my collar bone and blood was running out the bottom of my shirt pocket. Recoil in the 8.5 pound gun was about 100 ft pounds at about 35+ fps. They would leave skid marks in your underwear.
I've been to Cody a couple times. A bit more range time with greater distances, but wonderful folks there too. I miss the times I don't get to go.
You won't be sorry.

I saw the article too and am trying to decide if I'm going to go. I have family in and around Goldsboro (aunts, uncles, grandparents, and soon my parents), so I have other reasons to make the trip.
How much ammo does one need to bring?

According to the article, it's $300/person. I just realized the dates are a Thur-Sat gig. I was assuming Fri-Sun. Don't know if I can't swing that as I'd have to leave NoVA Wed night. I can't drag the family along because Thing 1 still has school. Crud.
