TALBOT ROD & GUN CLUB
EASTON, MARYLAND

      On Monday, August 24, the TRGC had a NRA Range Officer Safety Training Course conducted at the club. It was conducted by Steve Hoback, NRA Education & Training Staff. Twelve club members participated in the training program which is designed to help shooting clubs form a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the purpose of range operation, range safety, and emergency procedures. It was a broad based course not specific to a particular shooting discipline, but rather to all shooting programs

We were advised that we were the first “club” to ask for and receive this course, the benefits will be more volunteers trained in RO management protocol, better uniform safety control and procedures, all of which will help with insurance cost.

TRGC supports the 4H Shooting Sports Program, plus Maryland Hunter Safety Training Program conducted by Club members and other volunteers.

One of the main reasons for TRGC encouraging the NRA Range Officer Safety Training program was the increased number of people coming to the club and wanting to learn how to shoot, and proper instruction is extremely critical for the safety and wellbeing of everyone present. Teaching the skills of safe gun handling and shooting procedures can be very rewarding to the novice, thus encouraging further development in the sport.
