WHAT CAN I EXPECT? "The Mingle" is an INVITE ONLY VIP event for women in the firearms/self defense industry held at our private range in Dahlonega, GA. This is a 2 day event with sponsors, guest speakers, DOOR PRIZES, special block on Saturday shooting HKs, a full day on the range Sunday with blocks of firearms training with top tier instructors! There are only 50 spots available on Saturday and 28 spots available on Sunday so we use the "first come first serve" system.
WHO IS INVITED? We will be inviting females (local or otherwise) that work in the firearms industry, biz owners (managers and team members), club presidents and board members, professional shooters, tactical and shooting instructors, ladies of influence in all aspects of the self defense/martial arts, and in the biz professionals that are 2nd Amendment political supporters. This is a great opportunity for instructors to continue their OWN education. Please make note that "ladies of influence in all aspects of the self defense" has a very large range...IDPA? USPSA? GADPA? NRA? GCO? OTHER WAYS YOU SUPPORT? LET ME KNOW! This year we have put a "hold" on guests inviting people outside of the firearms industry to attend. We would like to give as many industry folks the opportunity to participate as possible. BUT BUT BUT, when we get a bit closer to event weekend, and if we have spots open, I will let yall know and you can invite a friend to Day 1 ($25) and to Day 2 ($160 = must be an experience shooter). WANT TO COME? Scroll to the bottom of the page and fill out the "ADD ME TO YOUR INVITE LIST" (please add your "industry" involvement). Once received, I will approve the request and add you to my invite list. I usually start sending out official event invites mid-January and will continue to do so until we are FULL! The Complete Combatant's Mingle events WILL NOT be open to the public and the guest guidelines would have to be met in order to attend. Please contact me if you are not sure if you would qualify as "in the industry". WHERE? BOTH Saturday and Sunday of The Mingle is held in Dahlonega. You can grab a hotel in Dahlonega, Cumming, Alpharetta, Suches, Johns Creek or anywhere in that area and still be under 45 minutes away!

I chose the "FRIENDS" font and style. This show reminds me of The Mingle participants, volunteers, coaches and guests. Our pasts are very different from each other and most of our jobs, family, and friends are probably different as well. Additionally, I would venture to say that our journeys to personal protection are different and our goals my vary. I believe that this wonderful little community has many many things in common. We train, laugh, love, support, and lead by example. I also believe that we have integrity, accountability and passion in common. Many guests have mentioned to me that they have made lifelong FRIENDS through The Mingle and this could not make me happier!

"NATIONWIDE TRAINING" RAFFLE: For several years we reached out to friends and top trainers in the firearms/self defense industry from all across the nation and asked if they would donate "a spot" in their classes for us to RAFFLE OFF for the sole purpose of proceeds benefiting The Mingle and Racheal's Rest. Guess what, everyone JUMPED at the chance!
The Complete Combatant's founders, Brian and Shelley Hill, are very involved with Racheal's Rest. Shelley Hill is the one of the founders and Marketing Manager, and Brian Hill is a past Board Member of Racheal's Rest. Racheal's Rest is a nonprofit organization that offers private counseling, workshops and five-day restorative retreat programs designed to address the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of survivors. They exist to help women and children who experienced sexual abuse or acts of violence regain their balance in life.
