 X.       Educational Classes

 The club offers a Civilian Marksmanship Program for boys and girls to learn the safe handling of firearms. The club also offers hunter education courses and NRA certified instruction.  Club members also volunteer their time to educate various organizations such as the Boy Scouts, corporate outings, and the like about the safe handling of firearms. Please contact any member of the Board for further information.  These educational classes take priority over other club functions.

 XI.      Range Officers

     Our ranges operate on a range officer basis. There are separate range officer qualification requirements for trap, skeet, and rifle and pistol.  For example, a range officer for trap is not automatically a range officer for skeet or rifle and pistol.  As recited in the specific rules found elsewhere in this booklet, no shooting is allowed on the ranges without a range officer present.  The sole exception is the indoor pistol range which may be used by "qualified shooters" as set forth in this booklet.
