Austin members: UT Rifle & Pistol Club needs coaches!

Greetings all,

If you're in the Austin area, and would like to devote as little as one evening a month to getting more college kids to shoot, this is your chance!

The UT Rifle & Pistol Club (UTRPC) runs the on-campus shooting range at UT Austin, 6:30PM-9:00PM, Mon-Thurs. We're about to open up for the new semester next week.

Before last semester, we got maybe 40 student visitors per semester. Due to a heavy recruiting push (largely involving THR members) we had over 500 unique visitors last semester. We can easily beat that this semester, but we need more coaches! If we don't have enough personnel to keep an eye on the kids, we can't operate at full capacity.

Requirements:

-- Willing to come by and just try it out for one evening, no obligation
-- Help out the main RSO by coaching, issuing ammo, and just keeping an eye on things
-- Know absolute basics of gun safety and handling
-- A good ambassador for the shooting community: courteous, patient, and helpful

That's pretty much it.

If you're interested in dropping by and giving it a try, drop me a PM and we'll set you up with a time. The range is located at the UT Austin main campus, next to the Gregory Gym.

Here's a few pic threads to give you an idea of what we do:

Take care,

We'll be opening the first day of class, which is this coming Tuesday.

Gotten a few emails off a few gun websites thus far, this is looking good.

The larger array of Austin shooters we have dropping by to provide training and supervision, the smoother the whole process will be.

I'm still holding down Thursday evening, but I will (eventually) graduate, so the more of a community we have, the better.
