IDPA range safety officer class update.

posted Feb 8, 2012 3:24 PM by Jim Warren   [ updated Feb 8, 2012 4:59 PM ]

Brooklyn Sportsman's Club (BSC) will be offering an IDPA Safety Officer course on Saturday, March 17 -- 8:30 am - 5 pm.

If you would like to be a certified IDPA Safety Officer - come out and take the course!  You may also use the course as a refresher.

The cost of the course is $40 for non-TCSL or non-BSC members, or $30 for TCSL or BSC members.  

You must be an IDPA member to take the course.

You must pre-register for the course at: www.tcsl-idpa.org

We will spend the morning going over lecture material, with some breaks.  We will also be taking a written test at the end of the morning.  We will have lunch break in the clubhouse.

In the afternoon, we will transition to the range, where we will do some drills and you will get rotate and play multiple rolls (Safety Officer - of course!, Scorekeeper and Shooter).

Please plan on bringing your IDPA gear and about 75 - 100 rounds of ammunition - and you should be well covered for the range portion of the class.

We will treat the range session just like an IDPA match - by that I mean that we will be running a "cold range", and you should gear up in the safe area (with no handling of ammunition in safe area).   Ammunition and magazines may be handled everywhere but in the safe area.

Again, please register on the TCSL web site - and I look forward to seeing everybody on Saturday, March 17!

Three bird shoot a success.

posted Oct 30, 2011 3:22 PM by Jim Warren   [ updated Oct 30, 2011 3:23 PM ]

 Saturdays 3 bird shoot was a great success. With over 60 rounds shot through out the day. The shooters had a cool and cloudy morning and afternoon. Until our Michigan weather decided to cut the last group of shooters round short with a little thunder snow. All in all a great event.

Thanks to the Sporting clays committee for the great course. And thanks to everyone else who made this event a success.
