The WPA and Western WinterBlast is run by volunteers and you are encouraged to volunteer for as many things as you can. The Safety Volunteer area in particular needs to be fully staffed or the shooting lines shut down until they are staffed. You can be a Safety Volunteer with just a few minutes of training. It’s not difficult, can be done by anyone who is willing and is a great way to meet other club members. Greg and Darrell will make sure you are comfortable with being a Safety Volunteer.
