Jadies and Lentlemen,

   A heads-up: potential exists for the offering of an NRA Cert. Instructor and RSO course in NE NYS, specifically @ Hudson Falls Fish and Game Club, possibly on a weekend in March.  Details/cost TBD, but typically around $100-125-ish; more attendees would tend to lessen cost - or not (I am not the NRA TC giving course, but would be assisting).  Advise if interested...would qualify attendees to participate in manufacturers' Instructor Purchase Programs (as does attaining RHI status) from Ruger, Smith, Henry, Walther, Thompson Center, and, most recently, Keystone (the Crickett makers).  Serious (appx 15-30%) discounts from msrp.

   Also considering a CPR/AED course @ same venue; would be 3-6 hours and get you a CPR card.  Again, rsvp interest.

Excelsior,

By all means, add me to the list! Is there a minimum age, like 18? I'm sure I have a 17 year old who would love to do it, too.

PS  Like RHIs, NRA Cert Instrs eligible for Instructor Purchase Program participation and discounts.  Am waiting for 2013 information from Ruger-Smith-Henry-Keystone (Crickett youth rifles)-Walther-Thompson Center.

If I remember correctly from past classes, doesn't the class actually start Friday evening, then continue on Saturday and Sunday? A person doesn't want to show up on Saturday and find out should have been there on Friday evening!

What is the start time for each of the days?

Thanks!

Marksmanship can be taught and learned,
but the motivation has to be inspired for the
people to become involved.
How many have you inspired that became involved?

Thanks for the times MAD, question....if one is looking solely for the RSO cert, are the hours the same?

I am sure I am not qualified to take the Pistol Instructor portion as I do not currently have a pistol permit (I will be starting the process to rectify this situation starting tonight when I take the required class to start the process).

Thanks,
