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! Here is a list of Hotels/Lodging in Dahlonega, GA that are only about 15 minutes from the range. Feel free to research other options and book your (refundable) hotel IMMEDIATELY as this little mountain town is very popular! Visit http://dahlonega.org/ to see more about Dahlonega, GA. PAST INDUSTRY GUESTS: I still have your email addresses so you will be automatically invited as you are grandfathered in! You will register to attend for Day 1 (FREE) and Day 2 ($160) through Eventbrite. The Mingle is still by invitation only so you will receive an email with an invite to attend....you MUST register.

HK LOVES The Mingle and supports The Complete Combatant's efforts...so much so that they have donated 14 HKs to The Complete Combatant and will let us borrow 11 more from them for EVERYONE to shoot on Saturday in an awesome 2 hour block. We will have a total of 25 VP9s and VP9SKs and we will also supply all the ammo for Day 1! There are NO prerequisites or skill level required...ALL guests are invited to shoot HKs no matter what your skill set is. YOU WILL NOT SHOOT YOUR OWN PISTOLS ON SATURDAY. Saturday's Gear List:

The Mingle 2020 NOTCH HATS are now for sale: ORDER INFO HERE. The Mingle 2020 will have the coolest hats EVER and guess what.....anyone can purchase one!
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's retreats and programs. Guess what, everyone JUMPED at the chance!
