ASC Pistol Class on Dec. 8

Uncategorized

The Scout 1000 is weather-proof, but not waterproof, that could be an important distinction.  The rangefinder comes in box along with a case, manual, and a CD with electronic versions of the manual.

As ASC’s Chief Instructor I like to keep track of who, among our members, is a certified instructor.  The last time I asked was several years ago so I’d like to get an update.  If you hold instructor certifications through NRA, 4-H, Virginia Hunter Education, or other certifying authority, please drop me an e-mail listing your current qualifications.  [email protected] If you’re interested in becoming certified as an instructor there may be a number of opportunities during the next year.  Please let me know what you’re interested in and we’ll talk about potential opportunities.
