	New Shooting Manual Offers Blueprint for Excellence The National Association of Shooting Ranges (NASR) is offering another in its series of shooting range guidance resources with its newly published How to Write a Policies and Procedures Manual. This critical guide details how to establish and institute effective policies and procedures to ensure a successful range operation. It can help management communicate to employees, volunteers, customers and members the visions, goals and objectives of the operation, and help establish and define performance expectations, responsibilities, legal criteria and the allocation of services and resources. “There is no more important goal for a range manager than to oversee a safe and successful operation, and one of the easiest ways to achieve that goal is to have and use a policies and procedures manual that details exactly how the ranges should be run,” said Rick Patterson, NASR Chairman. The manual is available from NASR, 11 Mile Hill Road, Newtown, CT 06470-2359, (203) 426-1320. The cost is $6 for NASR and NSSF members, and $12 for non-members. A complete catalog of more than 35 guidance manuals, videos and market research data is available from NASR on-line at www.rangeinfo.org.
