IDPA Safety Officer (SO) Class Scheduled at PSC

Gary Burris will be teaching an IDPA Safety Officer (SO) Class at PSC on Saturday, August 18, 2007. CLICK HERE for information on the SO Class. Please note that there will not be a range fee at PSC. As noted on Gary's website, it will be necessary to get a student packet from IDPA and they charge $5.

I've spoken to a lot of people over the years who believed you had to be a veteran IDPA competitor to be a good SO. Perhaps there was some truth to this belief in prior years when the SO Class was only about 2 hours long and any other SO could teach it. However, the Class is now 8 1/2 hrs long, including 3 hrs. on the range. This means we can take someone with good gun-handling skills and train them to be an SO. So if you have a few matches under your belt, then please consider taking this course and helping us with the PSC matches.

But we're not going to throw you into a match to run bay by yourself right out of SO school. We will let you work with an experienced SO for a match or two, perhaps more, until you are comfortable running a bay in a match.

Since we had to cancel the July PSC-IDPA match, I've received a number of PM's and emails from people wanting to help. In response, Marc got busy and contacted Gary to set up an SO Class, Gary agreed, and the rest is up to you folks. Please consider taking this class and signing up to SO upcoming PSC-IDPA matches. Taking the course will not only certify you as an SO, it will also make you a better IDPA competitor.

This class will be limited to twenty (20) people and we will give priority to people who commit to be an SO at PSC-IDPA matches.

To register for the SO Class, just send an email to Marc@TexasShooting.com

Thanks,
Chas.
