I've had a number of discussions with prospective attendees of Revere's Riders events, and I want to share their concerns, questions, and answers here for those who may have the same uncertainties.
Participants' privacy is respected. There's no published list and last names aren't even used after the paperwork is done in the morning. The only way anyone will know you attended is when you tell them how much fun you had, how much better you can shoot, and how great and inspiring the stories were. Most come again and bring more family and friends.
This is shooting instruction, NOT a shooting match. Scores aren't published anywhere. The only real benchmark is improvement--whether you've never picked up a rifle or are already a crack shot, you'll learn and improve. That's what RR instructors are all about.
The environment is safe, family oriented, and non-threatening. Nobody puts down struggling shooters--the instructors roll their sleeves up and dig in to help. They're always positive and encouraging. There's nothing to worry about when it comes to your pace of progress; nobody gets left behind at one of these events.
Regarding safety, procedures are very strict. Rifles are on the ground and can't even be approached when the range is cold. The line is kept clear and watched every moment until all rifles are safely put away. Safe gun handling and making the rifles safe is taught over and over again, often in enjoyable and memorable ways.
That's most of what I can recall right now. If anyone has any general questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask. Someone here will certainly be glad to help.
