Certified Instructors
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.
