Just a heads-up for some of you who might be interested....
The SRA (Singapore Rifle Association) has tentatively confirmed
a Basic Pistol Course for civilians on Sat & Sun, the 8th &
9th of March 2009 at the National Shooting Center which is located
at the end of Old Choa Chu Kang Road.
Course fee - $500 plus cost of ammo which you buy from the range
and firearm rental. Yup, you can actually rent one there. I will
post additional details including cost of ammo and pistol, etc
soon. Min age limit is 18 as per SRA.
I will be one of the two instructors for the course and the course
is pretty intensive even for a basic course. It is geared towards
those who might be in interested in getting into the shooting
sports, whether casual plinking or dynamic like IPSC (www.ipsc.org)
or IDPA (www.idpa.com).
It is open to the public (there might be some folks from the SAF)
BUT I will provide additional information (as soon as I get them)
on any additional requirements by SRA for those interested. I
expect them to open this to their members first but I know that
non-members are allowed.
As you know, courses like this do not come around very often and
the interest for dynamic shooting is on the rise; I have noticed
new faces in the shooting sports over the last year or so.
Please keep in mind that I am currently travelling so any replies
to Qs might be delayed due to the difference in time zones.
Thanks all.
