They moved it around to other states before recently settling into the Dallas Pistol Club. And since they don't accept sponsorships of any kind I don't know if revenue is an issue. But there are other, stellar options for event locations, including PSC in Pearland. And I'm sure they could vet additional instructors to fill at least one additional event each year. Spinning off "TAC-CON Essentials 2024" as a couple of additional two-day events rather than three-day seems like it should be doable to coordinate. Give us spring and fall options. And the committed attendees could do the full Monte in March/April plus an "essentials" review the following October.
