Anticipation!

I’m really looking forward to tomorrow night. Not just because it’s the night of my first Firearm Safety class of the year, but because of the new venue. Classroom sessions will be held at the Bemidji Trap & Skeet Club (BTSC) clubhouse this year.

The BTSC clubhouse is a fantastic sight for the course because of how the facility was designed. It was designed to be a classroom. The clubhouse is roomy enough to hold 30 students – and any parents who wish to sit through the course – comfortably. Not to mention, we will actually be at a shooting club for the class instead of a crowded retail store.

We will have the entire club to ourselves every Monday and Thursday night, so there will be no interruptions. I have never had the luxury of teaching a class without outside interruptions of some kind; this is going to be great! Plus, the first class is completely full and the second class is close to being half full already

I spent part of Friday night and tonight setting up and preparing for class. Tomorrow night starts a new era for me with the new classroom and the unveiling of the new website for the students. Anticipation!

Spring Watch

I took a little hike out in to the woods this afternoon to check the signs of spring and see if there were any shed antlers uncovered by the final snow melt. No sheds were found this trip, but it was late in the season. The deeper I traveled, the surer the signs became.

I’m happy to report that, as of Monday, my first Firearm Safety class of the year is full. I picked up the sign up sheet and registration forms for 30 students from Barry at Community Education today. The first class starts Monday, April 21st. There are already eight spots filled for the June class as well. If you want more information for these classes, check out my Firearm Safety blog.
