Are any of you out there offering classes other than the basic pistol, ccw, and hunter ed.? I've just introduced my 10 year old son to pistol shooting at the range and he just loves it. I think we're going to do the rifle thing for Christmas and hopefully he'll want to compete in 3 position.
Anyway, I'm worried that there aren't many youths entering the firearms world and would like to do something about it. My local range is trying to start up a "family night" or "father and son night" on the range, but that is about all I've heard about.
Are any of you focused on bringing youths and families into shooting? I know there is the Eddie Eagle program, but isn't that just safety related?
What I would like to do is become an NRA instructor, but focus on youth/family education, not just the basic pistol or rifle.
Do you think having a weekly 1/2 hour class session covering one topic per week (22 revolver, 22 semi-auto, rifle, home protection...) followed by a 1/2 hour range session be of use? Each week could be on a slightly different topic, but anyone could come it at anytime and feel welcome.
I don't know, call it... Firearms, Family, and Friends?
Comments welcome
