The camp-out is scheduled for 2/16-2/18 (President's Day weekend).
In preparation for the shooting camp-out, it will be necessary to have the following to assist:
- 4-5 NRA certified RSOs (Range Safety Officer)
- 1 NRA certified Rifle instructor
- 1 NRA certified shotgun instructor
Two instructors will be responsible for teaching the book portion of their respective merit badge disciplines, and then providing range instruction as needed.
The RSOs will be responsible for safety on the range. I prefer to have 3 on the rifle range, and 1-2 available for the shotgun range. This is above the minimum needed to run a range safely under BSA rules, but I prefer to have a few more eyes on the firing line for an increased level of safety and allow for breaks as needed. In a pinch we can run with a single RSO overseeing the firing line with 2 assistants on either side.
If you are interested in assisting as an RSO, but do not have your certification I am willing to run a class for those interested. The basic RSO class lasts approx. 6-8 hours depending on participation and class size.
Let me know if you can assist. You can click on my name below to send a message.
Thank you.
