Organizing A Clinic or Match • Set date—schedule classroom & range—make initial plans--draft program • Apply for CMP sanctioning • Appoint & train assistant instructors/range officers • Publicize clinic/match • Obtain supplies--set up class room & range • Conduct clinic or match • After event--communicate with participants--offer additional opportunities to shoot • Submit report to CMP—plan next event

SAFETY INSPECTIONS The first step for clinic students should be a rifle safety inspection Use the CMP Rifle Inspection Checklist Inspections should be done by knowledgeable club members Provide ECIs to all clinic students who do not have them Web slings can also be provided/sold at this time
PUBLICIZING THE CLINIC OR MATCH Good publicity means good attendance Have gun club members invite family and friends Prepare announcements for local new media (newspapers, radio) Prepare a promotional flyer (see model) Distribute flyers on community bulletin boards, in sporting goods retails stores, etc.
Tips for Clinic Instructors • Follow the Lesson Plan—Teaching points in clinic slides are consensus “best practices” • Follow the Lesson Plan—Your best defense in a liability suit • Show class how all rifle demonstrations start with cleared rifle, with an ECI inserted • Test your demonstration equipment • Rehearse your demonstrator before the class--Never use an unfamiliar demonstrator • There are no hopeless students or lost causes—match challenging students with your best instructors • Do Safety Inspection for all rifles brought to new shooter clinics • Have loaner rifles for students to use • Have web slings and dummy rounds for students to use (verify that all dummy rounds are dummy rounds)
