Questions about starting a range

[RRD3]

Those are all very good points.

I think I should state that this would not be a full time business. My intention would be to operate smaller classes, once a month or special one on one training. More of a hobby of mine than a full time business. It came to me after a number of people asked if I could or wold give lessons.

I know this makes it harder when it comes down to insurance, licensing and other legalities. What I have been researching is the option to co-operate with another facility or club.

I think I will start with a call to the NRA. As a life member they should be able to help me out in some degree.

I'd call the NRA and see what they tell you about being an instructor. I imagine the difference in price for an insurance policy for teaching people shooting fundamentals and a live fire shoot house will be astronomical. I wouldn't even know where to begin looking for coverage for that.

I'd think that you'd have to charge so much for it, that people might as well just put themselves through POST certificaiton.

Yea, I think that's why I would want to start with long range, bolt rifle type of class.

Too much competition in the tactical / defense / assault type classes out there.

So, when is the first class? I'm ready! Gotta get the Dragunov on some steel!
