Tennessee Firearms Assoc. Inc.

In addition to everything else I also homeschool my 11 year old son. There is a very fine homeschooling list-serve for Tennessee. Today the moderator sent around an announcement for a program to introduce kids to golfing. I wrote back, why couldn't we have the same thing for small-bore rifle?
I am a dealer here and know most of the dealers and we are all on good terms, for the most part. Why couldn't the area dealers sponsor something like this to get kids into target shooting?
So we have a little back and forth and I mention, if the desire is there among the parents maybe it could happen.
Indeed, 3 parents already emailed me that they are interested.
The biggest obstacle I see this second is locale. Where do you go around here indoor or outdoor for a range that would be appropriate? Vanderbilt had one when I was a student there but who knows about now. So, any ideas?
Second issue will be qualified instructors. I am NRA certified but would want at least one, maybe 2 or 3 more people helping out.
I'm open to ideas.

Rabbi,
Check your PM's

Rabbi,

While I am too far away to be much help, let me say kudos on home-schooling your child. I myself was for a few years, it sure was nice. (I used Family Christian Acadamy, FWIW.)

On another good note, Mike Bell, who is repalcing Bob McKee as the State Rep. for Distrixt 23 and is one of the members of the Chattanooga chapter, is a strong supporter of home-schooling. Depending on how your group works, he may make a good guest for you guys to have at a meeting. He is a very good guy.

I would be glad to help in any way I can. My youngest was home schooled. And I am also NRA certified. PM or E-mail me if I can help.
