Is anyone going to do the NRA Mentor May thing?
Click here please.
I take undergrads from my university shooting quite often,,, In most cases they have never fired a gun before then. So in essence I'm already "mentoring" new shooters,,, It would be nice to win a sweepstakes prize though. I read several different webpages on the American Rifleman website,,, Apparently all you need to do is sign up on their entry page. Here is a link to the main article. I am a bit confused though,,, In truth this looks like a scheme to get e-mail addresses. I'm not opposed to that in theory but I wonder about it's root mission. I found the page to enter in the Mentor May Sweepstakes,,, But I can't find any requirements/policies/procedures. One would think there would be some need to document,,, That mentoring had actually taken place. What do you folk think this is? Aarond .

An opportunity to get the idea of taking your friends to the range in front of more people. I'm all for it.

Hmm....
If I wanted to take a new shooter to the range for an afternoon...where would I fine one? I'd certainly do a deal where they paid the range fee and I supplied the guns and ammo...seems fair to me. We would have to meet ahead of time to go over safety rules, I'm guessing this would be a three to four hour total commitment, anybody think it would be more for a single range session? Maybe we need a 'big shooter' program like a 'big brother' program to link the new shooters with the mentors...or maybe the NRA is doing that with their program and I'm missing it at their web site. |
