FACILITIES AVAILABLE FOR HOSTING CLASSES

[rhino]

I'm interested in finding some possible alternate venues for instructors that I host when my home range (RileyCC) is not available.

I would need the following:

• Located in central or west central Indiana
• Exclusive access to the range (or at least one bay) for the duration
• Centerfire rifle fire is allowed
• Range that is preferably 50 yards wide, but 25 and up could do
• Range that is at least 50 yard long, preferably 100 or more
• shooting after dark allowed
• restroom facilities (other than porta-potties)
• reasonable rates for a weekend

Sounds like Eagle Creek fits the bill if only they allowed rifles

yeah, Eagle Creek would be perfect. Steve S. can't guarantee the range for the weekend I need, though, so I'm still looking.

Whatever you are planning sounds VERY interesting...

rhino do you know anything about the insurance side of hosting a class and renting out a range like Eagle Creek. Does who ever is doing the training provide the insurance?

It is. I don't want to seem coy, but I'm not announcing anything unless and until I get a suitable facility confirmed. Otherwise it would be pointless.

Sure.

When we (WVPPS) hosts an event at RileyCC, we have our own liability insurance. RileyCC also has their own. The instructor/company being hosted also has their own liability insurance. For the most part, any person or group that has a concern in the event needs their own insurance, regarless of what the other involved parties have.

I will not host any instructor who does not have a minimum of $1 million in liability insurance.

This is one reason why I am not teaching on a higher profile myself. I do not yet have insurance that satisfies my own needs.

How much is a policy of that nature for 1 Mil? Can't be cheap

I don't know for me yet, but it would depend on the carrier/underwriter, the specific circumstances of your training, and probably location.

It was a bluff! I'd need to know something before I could teach it, and we all know that's not possible!

re: insurance.

as an nra certified instructor, i have available to me an affordable policy. pretty much covers any instructing time, nra or not. it's not that much of a concern for me as i teach mostly private lessons(one or two students at a time) and for the boy scouts. but, i (we?) will be expanding to group training this year and the insurance will cover.

the nra also offers individual liability policies for non instructors, to the best of my knowledge.

as with any insurance, you would be "rated" on an individual basis, so i cannot comment on cost.
