Hey all,

My school district has approved starting an air rifle team! Yay! Now we are having the lawyer draw up a new policy for an air rifle team.

I need an example from a school that already has a rifle team. Does anyone have a saved copy that they could email to me? If so, please email me at kristinpwalters@yahoo.com.

Thanks!!
Kristin

Have you asked USAS or the NRA ? I would assume one or other would have some form of template, or if not they should know where you can find one.
