NRA Training

[DemolitionMan]

I'm hoping that a forum member or two might be able to help me with a few questions about NRA training. I am very involved in scouting -- Cub Master for a Pack, Assistant Scout Master for a Troop, helping to start a Venturing Crew, etc, etc. One of the great things about scouting is that it still teaches marksmanship skills to young men, and I've been happy to see my sons and their friends enjoying time on the range.

Unfortunately summer camp is often the only range time the boys get. I would like to be able to run ranges for my own unit and others in the area. Another forum member and fellow scouter kindly pointed me in the right direction to find the BSA training requirements. I need to become an NRA certified Instructor in Rifle (and probably Shotgun and Handgun too), as well as a certified Range Safety Officer.

I've been trying to use the NRA site, Google, and even searching this site to look for trainers offering these courses in the Indianapolis / central Indiana area without much success. I did find some trainers in Ohio but I'd rather find someone closer if possible. If you happen to know a person or business doing that I'd appreciate any information you have.

Thanks,
Doug
