Guys- this is a rare certification. If you ever want to work with or volunteer in youth shooting sports, you must have NRA credentials. Of those credentials, Muzzleloading Instructor is the most rare and probably most difficult to get. Many in the shooting sports have never had any formal training or education in the "dark arts" of shooting black powder. In addition to that, the Instructor portion of the series involves more than one type of arm. You will have to demonstrate proficiency in Rifle, Pistol and Shotgun in black powder to finish the final course. Lots of people whine about why there aren't kids getting involved, well, duh, if you don't get involved, neither will they. So to that end, we're holding the NRA Muzzleloading Instructor series of courses at Camp Raven Knob in NC. The first course of 3 is being offered on 10/9. It's a one day course. If you need to travel, there is a place to bunk at Camp Raven Knob. You'll need to bring a sleeping bag and dinner for Friday night. Saturday at 8a the fun begins. Basic Muzzleloading will run all day. Lunch and ammo will be provided. Come prepared to have fun, learn something and make new friends.
Time is getting near for the Basic Muzzleloading Class to be held at Camp Raven Knob in NC by the Yadkin Valley Rangers.
To become a NRA certified Muzzleloading Instructor, you must complete 3 classes- Basic Muzzleloading, Basic Instructor, Muzzleloading Instructor. There is no shortcut to this certification, hence it's not a commonly found one. If you want to ever work with most youth organizations in black powder, you must have this certification. I can't stress enough how important it is for adults to get involved with kids. Many on this and other black powder boards whine about the status of our sport, but the real question is what do you plan to do about it?
Even if you are already a long time muzzleloading/black powder person, you still have to go through the courses to be certified. The course is interesting, shooting is fun, and you'll meet other black powder enthusiasts and have opportunities to network you would otherwise not have.
Please reply by email as time is getting short and we have logistics to get settled soon.
