We also need 5 physically fit volunteers from 8:00 to 12:00 to do perimeter signage. Applicants should be able to climb a fairly steep 100 ft. hill without difficulty.

PREGNANT and NURSING WOMEN should NOT take this class and should avoid noise and lead exposure as well as chemical exposure from gun cleaning chemicals.
STUDENTS WHO MUST CANCEL are asked to NOTIFY us ASAP at pistolclass@northsidesportsmen.com, so that a person on the waiting list can be assigned.
STUDENTS and COACHES MUST wear shirts with tight-fitting necks and baseball style caps with bills to prevent hot brass from entering their clothing or falling behind protective eye wear. You will be walking on dirt and will need clothing suitable for the weather as well as your hat.
Helping with the class will count towards reducing your NSSA dues. Harry will soon take inventory of available coaches and other volunteers and make assignments. All volunteer coaches are asked to be at the range no later than 8:00 am for orientation by Dave Nelson, Dave Mink, and Dave Benko.
COACHES: Ideal candidates are pistol instructors, range officers, law enforcement officers and other people who have received quality pistol training.
