Greetings Shooters!
I am pleased to announce that IDPA's Safety Officer training program is up and running again. We will be holding a course at the Harvard Sportsmens Club on Saturday, August 10, 2013. There will be a limit of 20 students in the class. The new course has some pre-requisites. See a cut-and-paste from the IDPA rulebook below:
2.2.2. IDPA members wishing to apply to take the IDPA Safety Officer Class should meet the following
minimum qualifications to be considered:
2.2.2.1. Be at least 21 years of age and be able to lawfully possess a firearm under the laws of your
country of residence.
2.2.2.2. Be a current IDPA member in good standing for at least six months, and never have had their
membership revoked.
2.2.2.3. Have shot at least six IDPA matches, at the club or sanctioned level.
2.2.2.4. Be willing and able to demonstrate a basic knowledge of the IDPA rulebook.
2.2.2.5. Be sponsored by an IDPA-affiliated club representative that can confirm the applicant’s ability to
safely handle a firearm and who is willing and able to provide designated mentor SOs committed to
training the graduate SO.
2.2.2.6. Discretion on the part of the IDPA SOI in approving SO Class applicants is permitted to meet the
needs of new IDPA start-up clubs and other special situations.
If you are still interested, email me at [email protected] for more information. You will be required to take an on-line pre-test of the new rules, which are posted at IDPA - Welcome! in order to gain admission to the class. Cost will be $20.00 - this will be payable if you pass the pre-test and gain a seat in the class.
