It figures

#1

Post by jmorris »

Since 2024 was a LTC cert renewal year, 2023 was not so great business year, and I turned 70 in January, I just figured that it was time to retire from the teaching shooting business.

And in the last month and a half I've gotten more inquiries about classes then I did all of last year.

I'm pretty sure my guardian angel is a practical joker.

Come on Jay, keep your finger in the instructing business, at least part time. I do it at an indoor range that has three other instructors. I do one Saturday and two or three weekdays a month. :txflag:

Watch it with that really old stuff. Some of us are north of THAT number and still instructing. However, it does take a lot more effort to stay in shape than it used to.

Yeah, I know I'm the baby of old farts here. Like I said, 2023 was a lousy year, few classes made, and I've grown tired of hauling all the stuff back and forth. So since I was just doing it for pocket money and ammo I just decided to ask the CFO for an increase in my allowance.
