Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Once a new shooter qualifies at our club they can shoot with us but they really don't know all the ins and outs of our game/hobby/obsession. while we refer them to the SHB link, we are going to create a booklet or pamphlet that gives them a good overview. Not wanting to reinvent the wheel we're wondering of any clubs already have such a document that we could use as a staring point. thanks cr Sec, TRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 You could contact Capt. George Baylor down in San Antonio and he might be able to help. If you remember he put up a website: Captain Baylor's Ranger Camp, which goes into some detail, but he might have a summary available. The info on the website is dated, but it's still active. He also has completed an updated book on CAS, which he is in the process of getting printed. He is on Facebook as George Baylor. He doesn't spend anytime here on the Wire, and I don't have any contact details for him other than Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Hills Barb Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 We offer a shooter clinic each year on the National Day of the Cowboy. Each attendee receives a packet with a copy of the Shooter's Handbook and lots of SASS swag like a Chronicle, stickers, pen, etc. It difficult to list all the businesses that offer things like guns, reloading supplies clothing, etc. In place of that they are guided to our FB group or here/the forum. Business cards of some local supporters are enclosed with the packet. They also are made aware of the contact info for those of us that assisted at the clinic. I do try to keep an extra copy or two of the SASS Handbook on hand at the clubhouse for those that stop by our monthly match and are interested in learning more.

One Gun Jimmy Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I found this video helpful and informative. Not what your asking for I know, but it's the best general overview I have seen. https://youtu.be/18UPlavcXzA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 What's this "qualifies at our club" business? I haven't been to your club in 30+ years... and have thought I need to remedy that... then again, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As our RM pointed out, "Our matches are not for folks brand new to the shooting sports learning how to handle guns. That's what we have practice days each month for."

As our RM pointed out, "Our matches are not for folks brand new to the shooting sports learning how to handle guns. That's what we have practice days each month for." I’ve been to one club that had new shooters demonstrate they could load, stage, shoot, move to ULT and unload. Did it before the match. Not a bad idea, but they no longer do it.

IOW, you're certifying that folks are "safe"... awful lot of liability involved in that little activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Kelly Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Cheyenne Ranger; How are things at TRR? I had the pleasure of shooting there about a weekend before the infamous winter storm a couple of years ago. Say hello to Texas Six for me if you see him. I attached a New Shooter Packet below for download if you wish. We give this out at our annual new shooter clinic. Essentially, it's an abbreviated version of the handbook, with a few bits about our local club and matches. Not sure if this is what you're looking for but feel free to adapt it in any way you wish.
