CQB ’75 – The Close Quarters Battle at the Jason Russell House
The bloodiest battle on the first day of the American Revolutionary War took place on the estate of Jason Russell in Arlington, MA, just outside of Boston. Arlington, at the time, was known as Menotomy and more colonial militiamen were killed at Monotomy than any other place that day.
British Redcoats were retreating back to Boston after being trounced at Concord’s North Bridge and Merriam’s Corner when they encountered heavy resistance along the road. They’d sent out flanking parties to clear the route and one of those parties captured Russell and several other militiamen in the open.
Hear what happened next as this exciting tale is woven throughout the day’s marksmanship events!

Event Overview
This event will follow the outline of a Basic Pistol event, our introductory pistol marksmanship course based on traditional American service pistol fundamentals. This course lays a sound foundation for students to shoot groups under time pressure from a practical stance. Basic Pistol includes classroom and range time learning to safely and effectively shoot handguns. Students will learn:

Rules for safe gun handling & range rules
Pistol parts and operation & ammunition
Shooting fundamentals: Five steps to firing each shot
Two Handed Grip & Stance: Isoceles, benchrest, and low ready positions (Weaver may also be taught)
Natural Point of Aim
Shot Group Analysis
Clearing Common Stoppages
Whittemore’s Stand Pistol Qualifier
Classic WW2 Pistol Qualification Test (optional)

Prerequisites: None – but some prior experience shooting handguns is recommended
Estimated Ammunition Required: About 200 rounds of pistol ammunition.
Pistol Requirements: You will need a safe pistol with at least five round capacity to fully participate in this course. Pistols should be of a modern, drop safe design.
Older single action pistols manufactured before the 1980s and lacking a transfer bar safety are the most common type of pistol that lack drop safe design features, as do some military surplus imports from Eastern bloc countries and Taurus PT-series pistols not fixed during an international safety recall in 2015. These pistols may discharge if dropped and pose a potential safety hazard to our volunteers and students, and are not permitted. If you have concerns about the safety features of your pistol you should have it inspected by an armorer or gunsmith before class.
Required Equipment: Please review our suggestions for appropriate Basic Pistol equipment and plan to bring the following:

at least two magazines for your pistol
a way to take notes
hearing protection
eye protection
plenty of your preferred method of hydration (both plain water and something to replace electrolytes you will lose via sweating is ideal)
clothing appropriate for the weather (loose fitting clothing, especially around the neck, is discouraged as hot brass can lodge against the skin and cause a burn)

We will not be drawing from the holster in this class and we will run a “cold range.” You will not need a holster to participate in the class activities.
Optional Equipment: The following equipment is not required but may come in handy at the event:

case for your pistol
stapler (and extra staples) to attach your target to the backer board
hat with a brim (to deflect flying hot brass)
folding chair
lunch
snacks
sunscreen and/or bug spray

Loaner Firearms: loaner firearms suitable for use at this event are generally available but limited. Please contact the Event Director prior to the event if you would like to request a loaner firearm.
Age Limitations: Attendees between ages 14-18 years must be accompanied by a parent for the entire event. If under age of 14, contact the Event Director to review their participation.
The Pistol in American History

During our breaks, we will share some stories of the pistol in American history. These will include the role of the pistol in the story of April 19, 1775, the birth and development of the revolver, stories of Sam Colt and the Texas rangers and John Browning’s development of the iconic 1911 automatic pistol.
These exciting tales will be woven throughout the day’s marksmanship activities.

For general match information and rules, please see the Marty Brown Memorial Invitational Rifle Match Rules page.
Additional Event Information
Ticket sales end at 1700 on Oct. 24th in order for us to get a list of participants to Camp Atterbury security which will allow access to the base.
Ticket price includes all range fees.
Pre-registration is Required
All participants must purchase tickets by the DEADLINE of 5:00 PM on October 24, 2025. Absolutely no registrations will be allowed after this deadline. The unique venue for this event requires that we share your name and other personal information you submit to Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center (CAJMTC), Military Police and the Range Control office. Your information will not be used in any manner other than to allow your admittance to the installation and to contact you regarding this event. Pre-registration is required so that we can forward your information to CAJMTC in time for the event. You are also responsible for reading the below additional range information specific to Camp Atterbury. Please keep in mind that we are using a military facility and military rules and discipline are in force.
Refund Policy
Event will be held RAIN or SHINE!
Camp Atterbury is an active military installation, as such we may have our scheduled access removed as late as the day before the event. Refunds will only be issued for this event due to cancellation of the event by military authorities. Absolutely no refunds will be given for any other reason.
Additional Range Information
Arrival Time
You MUST Arrive On Time
Plan to arrive NO LATER than 7:45AM. Anyone arriving later than this will not be allowed to participate in the event and your event fees will not be refunded. This is due to the need to meet at Range Control and proceed to the range as a group. We will not wait for you; plan to be early.
Base Access Policy

CAMP ATTERBURY BASE ACCESS: the military is being more restrictive on who is allowed on-base and the credentials that need to be presented to gain access. You will need to have one of the following to gain base access (NO EXCEPTIONS):

Real ID (like what is now required to board commercial aircraft)
Passport
Military ID (either current or retired)

Your ID must be current (i.e., not expired).

This is federal, not Camp Atterbury, policy intended to increase the security of military bases in response to heightened threats posed in recent years.
Base Firearms Policy
CAJMTC firearms policy—NO LOADED FIREARMS PERMITTED ON BASE. Concealed carry is NOT ALLOWED on base; you may only load a firearm while on a designated range. Before you proceed to the base entrance and attempt to pass through security, make sure that all firearms in your vehicle and on your person (don’t forget your concealed carry sidearm) are unloaded, in a secure case and separated from your ammunition. This is generally Indiana state law (see IC 35-47-2-1). If you are refused entry to the base for any reason, your event fees will not be refunded.
Directions to Range Control
You will be required to pass through the Camp Atterbury main gate to access the military side of the base. When asked, tell gate security that you are there for the Revere’s Riders event along with any other information gate security requests. IMPORTANT—do NOT attempt to go to the range on your own. There are numerous ranges at Camp Atterbury and any number of them can be “hot” at any given time. There are ranges for pistols, rifles, artillery as well as strafing (witnessing an A-10 Warthog engaging in a strafing run is awe inspiring from a distance); some of the ranges involve firing over roadways (if the range is “hot”, these should be blockaded, but better safe than sorry). Wandering onto any of these ranges while they are “hot” could lead to a VERY bad day. Range Control is reached by continuing south on the entrance road (Eggleston Street). Range Control will be on your left just before County Road 900 South. Himsel Airfield will be on your right just beyond the intersection of Eggleston Street and CR 900 S.
Overnight Accommodations
Civilian lodging is available on base in standard “chargeable transient quarters”. Standard rooms with shared bathroom are $43/night and Deluxe rooms with private bath are $58/night. For reservations, call the Camp Atterbury Lodging Office at 812-526-1128. Let them know that you are with Revere’s Riders.

Event Sponsors

3M Peltor has graciously provided Revere’s Riders with Peltor LiteCom Plus communications headsets for use at this event. These headsets incorporate radios allowing wearers to communicate with each other via their headsets. Extremely convenient for ranges where the target line is manned like Camp Atterbury.

Estimated Ammunition Required: 200 rounds, ideally the same type. THIS IS A RIMFIRE ONLY EVENT!
Required Equipment:

hearing protection
eye protection
magazines or speed loaders if needed
bipod, bag, pack or field-expedient rest
lunch (we’ll be staying on the range during lunch break)
water and something to replace electrolytes (what plants crave)
snacks
a way to take notes

Optional Equipment:

shooting mat
rifle/optic manual(s)
hat with a brim
knee/elbow pads
folding chair
small tool kit / cleaning kit
stapler

Clinic Overview: Attendees will develop a working knowledge of the skills needed to zero a rifle, trajectory, internal/external ballistics, “doping the sights” and how to make hits at known distances. Shots will be made at reduced distances of 25-200 yards, effectively simulating the difficulty of shooting a centerfire rifle at 100-500 yards.
All firing in this course will be done from the prone position off a rest and within 200 yards. We will focus on attaining proper come-ups for your rifle/ammo combination. You will save time & money by learning the concepts at this course and then applying them when shooting bigger rifles at longer distances while hunting, PRS-style shooting, defensive carbine, etc.
This class is not physically demanding but we will be walking 200yds and getting into and out of the prone position several times throughout the day.
Attendees should arrive for registration at 8:30 am. Class starts promptly at 9:00!
Topics of instruction will include the following:

Field Shooting to Known Distances: Target Detection/Target Identification
External Ballistics: Effects of Wind, Temperature and Humidity
Basic Ballistics Calculations: Using Minutes of Angle (MOA) or Milliradians (MRAD/mils)
Range Estimation: Field-Expedient methods of determining Range
Data Collection: How to set up a “Dope Book”

Shots that Changed History!
From the involvement of Daniel Morgan’s men at the siege of Boston in 1775 to the pivotal shots made by Timothy Murphy at the battle of Yorktown in 1781, Colonial Marksmen made shots that shifted the course of the American Revolutionary War and, ultimately, changed the course of world history!
Hear the tale of these shots – made using the same skills learned in this clinic – woven throughout the day’s course of instruction.

plenty of your preferred method of hydration (both plain water and something to replace electrolytes you will lose via sweating is ideal)
clothing appropriate for the weather (loose fitting clothing, especially around the neck, is discouraged as hot brass can lodge against the skin and cause a burn)

General Optional Equipment: The following equipment is not required but may come in handy at the event:

magazine dump pouch
case for your rifle
case for your pistol
hat with a brim (to deflect flying hot brass)
folding chair
lunch
snacks
sunscreen and/or bug spray

Rifle Requirements: the AR-15 is an ideal rifle to bring. However, any safe semi-automatic rifle/carbine can be used (Mini-14, AK-47, Tavor, etc.).
Required Rifle Equipment: Please review our suggestions for appropriate Basic Rifle equipment and plan to bring the following:

at least four (4) magazines for your rifle/carbine
two (2) mag pouches to hold your spare rifle magazines (chest rig or gun belt)
sling for your rifle (a 2-point adjustable sling is recommended although a 1-point sling will work fine if that is your preference; the US GI sling is probably not ideal for this event)

If you have any questions concerning the suitability of your rifle/carbine for this course, please contact the Event Director.
Pistol Requirements: Pistols should be of a modern, drop safe design. The following are a good set of guidelines for an appropriate pistol for this event:

a medium-frame or large-frame pistol (e.g., Glock 19/Glock 17 or similar)
make sure your pistol is in good working order; if in doubt, have it checked by a qualified gunsmith or armorer. A pistol that malfunctions constantly will get you plenty of practice addressing malfunctions but not much practice with the drills
leave the brand new pistol you bought the day before the event at home

Older single action pistols manufactured before the 1980s and lacking a transfer bar safety are the most common type of pistol that lack drop safe design features, as do some military surplus imports from Eastern bloc countries and Taurus PT-series pistols not fixed during an international safety recall in 2015. These pistols may discharge if dropped and pose a potential safety hazard to our volunteers and students, and are not permitted. If you have concerns about the safety features of your pistol you should have it inspected by an armorer or gunsmith before class.
If you have any questions concerning the suitability of your pistol for this course, please contact the Event Director.
Required Pistol Equipment: Please review our suggestions on appropriate Defensive Pistol equipment and plan to bring the following:

magazines or speed loaders: bring at least THREE (more is better, especially if you are using a pistol with a capacity of less than 10 rounds)
holster: a strong side holster that does not collapse when your pistol is drawn (no appendix, ankle, shoulder or small-of-back holsters). Either IWB (“inside the waistband”) or OWB (“outside the waistband”) are fine, but the holster you intend to use for concealed carry would be preferred. An OWB holster is often easier to use if you have never drawn from a holster before but will still allow you to participate fully in the drills we will conduct. The crucial aspect is that your holster MUST hold your firearm securely without letting it move around on your hip; this will necessitate a holster that attaches at TWO POINTS to your gun belt; your holster should have sufficient retention to keep your firearm secure if you are rolling around on the ground.
gun belt: you will have your pistol on your hip for the entire day. It will seem heavier as the day goes on and a good, sturdy gun belt will minimize that feeling. A standard belt isn’t going to cut it here; spend a couple of dollars on a quality gun belt if you don’t already have one.
two (2) mag pouches to hold your spare pistol magazines

Shotgun Requirements: semi-automatic or pump-action. If you have any questions concerning the suitability of your shotgun for this course, please contact the Event Director.
Loaner Firearms: loaner firearms suitable for use at this event are generally available but limited. Please contact the Event Director prior to the event if you would like to request a loaner firearm.
Skills Contests: several skills contests will be run at this event:

Sand Dummy Drag

drag a 150 lb sand dummy approximately 200 yards during which you will be required to stop and perform buddy aid
complete sand dummy drag, drop rucksack
engage paper targets with a pistol from various positions/angles
engage 10 steel targets with a rifle and 10 rounds (1 point per hit)
scoring via hits and overall elapsed time

Pistol Pick Up

from a table of 5 different pistols, pick up each and fire two rounds on paper targets (one sighter plus one additional shot)
scoring via closest to the bullseye on all five targets

Battlefield Pick Up

pick up a random rifle from a table
engage steel targets with two rounds
scoring via combined hit and overall elapsed time

Additional “surprise” skills contests

Entries into the Skills Contests will be available for purchase at the event; see the 2026 Marty Brown Memorial Open™ Defensive Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun Swag Bags, Give Aways, Prizes, Auctions page for prize list.
Additional Event Information
Spectators are welcome but will be asked to remain a safe distance from the firing line (ear protection is required for all spectators; eye protection is optional).

This history presentation begins with alarm riders warning “the Regulars are out!” You’ll hear about the dramatic stand on Lexington Green and the “shots heard ’round the world” at Concord’s North Bridge. The tale concludes with harrowing life-or-death choices made along the 17 mile “battle road.”
This exciting tale will be woven throughout the day’s marksmanship events.

Additional Event Information
Ticket price includes all range fees.
Pre-registration is Required
All participants must purchase tickets by the DEADLINE of 5:00 PM on October 9, 2026. It is Camp Atterbury policy that we must give them a list of attendees 30 days prior to any event so that they may be vetted before being allowed on-base. Absolutely no registrations will be allowed after this deadline. The unique venue for this event requires that we share your name and other personal information you submit to Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center (CAJMTC), Military Police and the Range Control office. Your information will not be used in any manner other than to allow your admittance to the installation and to contact you regarding this event. Pre-registration is required so that we can forward your information to CAJMTC in time for the event. You are also responsible for reading the below additional range information specific to Camp Atterbury. Please keep in mind that we are using a military facility and military rules and discipline are in force.
Refund Policy
Event will be held RAIN or SHINE!
Camp Atterbury is an active military installation, as such we may have our scheduled access removed as late as the day before the event. Refunds will only be issued for this event due to cancellation of the event by military authorities. Absolutely no refunds will be given for any other reason.
Additional Range Information
Arrival Time
You MUST Arrive On Time
Plan to arrive NO LATER than 7:45AM. Anyone arriving later than this will not be allowed to participate in the event and your event fees will not be refunded. This is due to the need to meet at Range Control and proceed to the range as a group. We will not wait for you; plan to be early.
Base Access Policy

CAMP ATTERBURY BASE ACCESS: the military is being more restrictive on who is allowed on-base and the credentials that need to be presented to gain access. You will need to have one of the following to gain base access (NO EXCEPTIONS):

Real ID (like what is now required to board commercial aircraft)
Passport
Military ID (either current or retired)

Your ID must be current (i.e., not expired).

This is federal, not Camp Atterbury, policy intended to increase the security of military bases in response to heightened threats posed in recent years.
Base Firearms Policy
CAJMTC firearms policy—NO LOADED FIREARMS PERMITTED ON BASE. Concealed carry is NOT ALLOWED on base; you may only load a firearm while on a designated range. Before you proceed to the base entrance and attempt to pass through security, make sure that all firearms in your vehicle and on your person (don’t forget your concealed carry sidearm) are unloaded, in a secure case and separated from your ammunition. This is generally Indiana state law (see IC 35-47-2-1). If you are refused entry to the base for any reason, your event fees will not be refunded.
Directions to Range Control
You will be required to pass through the Camp Atterbury main gate to access the military side of the base. When asked, tell gate security that you are there for the Revere’s Riders event along with any other information gate security requests. IMPORTANT—do NOT attempt to go to the range on your own. There are numerous ranges at Camp Atterbury and any number of them can be “hot” at any given time. There are ranges for pistols, rifles, artillery as well as strafing (witnessing an A-10 Warthog engaging in a strafing run is awe inspiring from a distance); some of the ranges involve firing over roadways (if the range is “hot”, these should be blockaded, but better safe than sorry). Wandering onto any of these ranges while they are “hot” could lead to a VERY bad day. Range Control is reached by continuing south on the entrance road (Eggleston Street). Range Control will be on your left just before County Road 900 South. Himsel Airfield will be on your right just beyond the intersection of Eggleston Street and CR 900 S.
Overnight Accommodations
Civilian lodging is available on base in standard “chargeable transient quarters”. Standard rooms with shared bathroom are $43/night and Deluxe rooms with private bath are $58/night. For reservations, call the Camp Atterbury Lodging Office at 812-526-1128. Let them know that you are with Revere’s Riders.

Event Sponsors

3M Peltor has graciously provided Revere’s Riders with Peltor LiteCom Plus communications headsets for use at this event. These headsets incorporate radios allowing wearers to communicate with each other via their headsets. Extremely convenient for ranges where the target line is manned like Camp Atterbury.
