All other discussion aside, because the smaller details will... likely hammer themselves out as they arise, and until then we're addressing a lot of thought experiments, opinions, and whatif scenarios?
I kind of see making this happen, requiring a list?
Staffing
[ ] Trainers, CPL instructor certified.
How many are necessary to fulfill this, I recall seeing an offer to co-teach a class but not lead. Are there necessary costs, or backup instructors should one have something immediate/critical come up?
[ ] Legal / .... nvm. Legal, haha just kidding about the alternative.
We had a volunteer to teach the legal portion. Are there necessary costs, or backup instructors should one have something immediate/critical come up?
[ ] Range Safety Officers
Quantity begins to pivot on how large the range and class room will or can be, how many students you want to limit the total class occupancy to. I feel like given the number of volunteers necessary to run the event, and distance involved that we should aim for a class size of say.. 20? (Theoretical example I am not sure if there is a maximum class size dictated by the course)
[ ] Certified firearm instructors
Someone mentioned there is a maximum number of students per instructor. This goes back to total class occupancy.
[ ] Other Support staff?
Location(s)
[ ] Classroom
Associated costs, Maximum occupancy, lighting, seating, Heating/Cooling pending season, consider possible limitations required by distancing even if we don't like them.
[ ] Range
Associated costs, How many people can occupy the firing line at once, indoor outdoor, permission to use range and teach class on their range is typically a monetary conflict of interest for most established ranges as they will offer their own CPL courses.
Materials
[ ] Class materials.
[ ] Target materials.
[ ] Trailer and or trailer hauler.
[ ] Likelihood of feeding people.
Other
[ ] Insurance
This is a concern that has been brought up several times, and never seems to be satisfied.
Date
[ ] Advertise it once you've got it.
Fill up a class. Rinse and repeat. Possibly use the class as a membership pickup line at shows outdoorama, woods & water, etc etc, with a class scheduled for those new acquisitions in the near future after those events.
Did I miss anything?
Start checking off boxes with numbers and names? It might be worth pinning the list to the beginning of a thread and update it with all of the volunteers locations dates materials etc.
I would volunteer to help organize but, I'll be honest, a project of this magnitude is a bit.. daunting, and I'm looking at moving among other big chaotic changes, and it likely certainly helps for the organizer(s) to be a member of the decision makers... (yes I'm looking at you folk with green names)
It is at least a start. Feel free to steal the list, add or remove items that are relevant or.. not lol.
