Can other instructors come if they're free?

We teach the first portion at my house, so I guess the answer would be "it depends."  If the class isn't full (which would be bad) then I guess.    Where we can get more assistance soon will be when we go to the range.  It would help to already have a bench ready for the students at the public pistol side, and then have another person there so the students can shoot more.

What time does the class usually end up at the range?

I can show up real early to the range then.

What time does the class usually end up at the range?

We normally leave my house about 11:30-11:45, getting to the range about one hour later and then staying till 3:00 p.m.  I've also considered starting the class at 0730, but I don't know if that would rub people wrong or not.

What takes me some time is setting up target stands, getting a bench, cleaning up and breaking down, and then cleaning guns.  I would like to clean them a bit more, but I don't have the time to do it every week (for like 9 firearms).   My goal is to make things easy enough and have a few people follow the same teaching guidlines and style that we normally have so that they can actually come and teach the class.  This would allow us to have more classes, but not mean I have to spend every single weekend day teaching gun safety courses. Right now, I spend four to six days on weekends doing so - it is taxing.

However, I am pleased to announce that we just ran over 100 students this last course!  I have also already booked my classes for the rest of the month and will be adding an additional class.

If someone would like to help on the 23rd of June, please let me know. I will need one other person to help with the range.

That's easy. Chinese Gun Club has a pistol competition going on the 23rd. If you arrive after its done, I'll still be around.

Funtimes,

I found a class on NRAInstructors.org. Funtimes might know someone cheaper.

You had 100 people in your last course?

Negative.  I guess I could have structured the sentence a little better.  From the last course we taught, this year we have instructed over 100 people (106 exactly).   This might not sound like a lot, but we only have myself and Derek teaching out of the HDF Home Office, two to three times a month so it is pretty good I think.  I have explored the options of increasing course size, but I really rather not.  I think our low instructor / student ratio is perfect and provides a solid level of personal attention that I feel the students need.   Just last year, at this time, we were only doing classes of 1-4 people every few weeks (maybe twice a month).   

100 would be insane... lol.

^^^No.............I agree 100 is a lot.

What kind of video editing do you need done?

That just sounded like the most interesting thing you listed, but I have experience in just about every area of computer/IT stuff. Any details on what you need would be great.

We have lots of video clips and stuff of gun classes, range days etc.; it would help to actually make a decent video out of some of it.  Making little advertisements for our basic pistol classes etc.  Really just trying to engage the audience and bring people into the sport and our cause.

We are also always looking to do something creative, we have had lots of ideas for say like a 40 second to 1 minute ad etc.

Chris,  one of my daughters works at KHON selling commercials...   might be able to get some discounted rates for HDF ads.  I'll talk to her about it.
