With 35+ years of reloading experience and rapidly approaching retirement, I want to pass on my knowledge to the next generation. Should be fun.

Very good. I'm taking the Pistol Instructors class at the end of August because I love getting folks introduced to the shooting sports.

Congratulations. First I have ever heard of the NRA Metallic Cartridge Reloading Instructor Certificate.With 35+ years of reloading experience and rapidly approaching retirement, I want to pass on my knowledge to the next generation. Should be fun.

So ... you plan on setting up & running classes in reloading for those who signup and pay a fee?

Yep, that's the idea, GBExpat. There is nobody offering training in reloading in my part of the state. Classes are small (4 - 6), so there is a lot of hands-on learning in the NRA sanctioned classes.

kwg,
You have to go on the NRA's website to find where they are offered near you.

If you already have a current NRA Instructor certification in any discipline (rifle, pistol, shotgun etc.) You can take the metallic cartridge and shot shell reloading instructor courses via correspondence wiht the Training Department.
If you are not currently a NRA instructor and you would like to become one, go to: www.nrainstructors.org and find a Training Counselor in your area that is running the instructor course of interest.
As a NRA instructor you would have access to proven curricula, course training materials, and a known, trusted reputation. You will probably not make a lot of money since the more you charge, the fewer students you'll attract. However, you will be able to pay expenses and get a little for your time and effort. Starting a small training business may also have tax advantages.
Talk to your accountant and he'll tell you that your gun club membership will be tax deductible, as will ammo and supplies. Less expensive guns can be charged off as "small tools" as can most reloading equipment but more expensive guns may need to be depreciated over a few years. I love it when I can spend money on things I like rather than handing over to Uncle Sam, all the while helping beginners in the shooting community.
