Roundup
We are looking to start a mentor program.More than a
couple of our members are NRA instructors or have other instructional
credentials. It was suggested that possibly some of these members could
be available for instruction to other members that may be just starting
out or want help with their shooting skills. Anyone interested in
mentoring, please contact me at
scottr@wrg.club
