RANGE OFFICER COURSES

Basic Safety Course (RO1), as well as the updated Shooter's Handbook may be downloaded from the SASS home page on the website. (www.sassnet.com)

Next RO1 Course 9-21-08 1:00 pm

For those needing the RO1 Course, I will be holding one on Sunday, 21 September at Gaye Abandon and my place in Grants Pass. (414 Colin Rd for those who haven't been there, or go to the Merlin Marauders website for directions to the classroom) Starting at 1PM, finished about 5PM. Course fee is $5.00 per NEW student, which goes to SASS HQ for your pin which HQ mails to your home. I don't charge for the course materials, etc. Anyone who has taken and passed the course previously may take it as a refresher, with no exam, for no charge.

I feel that the course is important for everyone to take, and donate the costs of producing the course materials.
