Instructors
The Golden Triangle Gun Club Board of Directors approved an Instructor Policy to ensure that members would have access to qualified and vetted instructors, while at the same time ensuring that members continue to have access to all ranges.
All club approved instructors must submit an application annually and meet certain criteria including providing their instructor qualifications, course syllabus, proof of liability insurance, proof of NRA Certified Range Safety Officer status, must be a member for a member of 5 years, and have a proven history of volunteerism in maintaining or helping improve the club.
Instructor requirements can be found here: Use of Range Facilities for Commercial Training
Instructor applications can be found here: Firearms Instructor Application
Applications and fees are due by October 1st each year. Applicants are vetted by the Range Safety and Rules Committee and those who are qualified and meet the requirements are then presented to the Board at the November Board Meeting for recommendation and if approved by the Board the Instructor is allowed to begin scheduling instruction in January of the following year.
Instructors are independent members and not employees of the club. The current list of approved instructors:
