I have been approached and asked to consider becoming a certified instructor and teach a women's class and/or HCP classes. I am looking for advice to hell me with my decision. Any input is welcome. scn has been a big help already but I'm always open to input.

Hey Bow?
Who would be training you? Is it NRA or someother organization. Based on what little I know about you from your postings I would think that you would be good at it and a good person for women to learn from.

It is a state certified class at a local gun store. I will find out more when I sit down with them and discuss it. I do think I would enjoy it.Rob R. said:

I think you have to be able to hit the broad side of a barn first, before being an instructor.
I think you'd make a great instructor. Especially for a women's class. I don't know for sure, but I think women would appreciate a woman instructor more. You would be teaching guns from a woman's perspective, rather than a man's perspective. Good luck!

That is my main concern. I will just have to pay the high price for bullets and shoot more.moondawg said:I think you have to be able to hit the broad side of a barn first, before being an instructor.

Well, to be fair, the class is probably going to be more of an introductory class. How to handle firearms, how to load it, how to shoot it. It's not designed as a marksman class. That is a whole 'nother class in itself, and not something that can be learned in just 8 hours. It takes practice. But I think you'll do just fine.

I would inquire about liability insurance in case some fool hurts somebody and decides to sue you.

Very good point!
I cant remember the organization that had the highschool trap/shotgun coaches insured, but I do remember us having a one million dollar liability policy. It could have been a Umbrella policy, but I just dont remember.

I had doubts that I would be effective and remembered that I have made it thru training people at work who didn't want to learn. On one trip, i did have supervisor from another DC say he couldn't understand why I wasnt a supervisor. He said I had a knack for getting the employees to cooperate. I think he was nuts but I'll draw on that. As for insurance, the place I would be teaching would cover it. The classes are 4 full days and are pretty intense from what I understand at this point.
Boy. Do I have a lot to think about!
