The R&D Tactical shoots have been cancelled until further notice. This change has been posted on the website. Discussion ensued regards the situation that has developed between the VSSC and Paul McIntyre, an NRA Counselor/Trainer. McIntyre observed the last VSSC Basic Pistol Course and stated that he observed what he considered to be unsafe practices. The Board decided that the best approach would be to wait and see if McIntyre files a report with the NRA as he has said he would. Classes to be presented were discussed based on the scheduling problems with the local shooting ranges. The next class to be presented will be an enhanced NRA First Steps Course which will enable the attendees to utilize the certificate to obtain the CWFL. The class size will be limited to six (6) attendees. The classes will be held at Seabreeze Recreation Center, The Villages, with range portion to be conducted at Ocala National Forest. The tentative date will be June 10, 2013. The course fee will be $70.00 for residents of The Villages, and $50.00 for VSSC members. In addition F.
