STS COVID-19 Webinar Programme
Update (17 August)
STS COVID-19 Webinar Programme
To help members during this time of lock down, STS has scheduled a series of online webinars on areas of interest expressed by members through our education survey.
Our Next Session
Our next session will be An Introduction to First Aid for Shooting Clubs and will be held on Tuesday 8 September at 6pm.
Although shooting is an extremely safe sport, it is possible for accidents to happen, and when the do happen, they can have serious consequences. This, combined with the recent increase in First Aid awareness due to COVID-19, means there is an even greater need to make sure clubs feel they equipped to deal with these matters when they occur.
This workshop is an introduction to first aid for shooting clubs, delivered by Bruce Jenner, a trained paramedic but with over 20 years of military and target shooting experience. STS is working with Bruce to develop a first aid course for clubs to be delivered in person, when circumstances allow, but for now this session is aimed at informing clubs about some of the basics and provide an opportunity to answer any questions you may have. Get signed up now!
STS is extremely excited to work with Bruce to develop a series of sessions focusing on both physical and mental health, delivered by someone with both medical training and shooting experience to make sure the content is appropriate but there is also a great knowledge of the sport to help with some of the more specific questions and scenarios that shooters and target shooting clubs can come across.
Our Last Session
Our last session, Strength and Conditioning Training for Shooters, was recorded so if you were not able to make this session you can take the opportunity to watch it back now. This session involved videos of scatt tracers so would be best viewed as video but an audio option is also provided -

New Additions
We are in discussions with out partners about adding more sessions to the programme - we will update you here next week with what any new additions. Let us know by completing the education survey.
About The Sessions
The programme has been designed to include a mix of sessions to appeal to shooters of every different discipline and every standard. Some will focus on specific disciplines and some may be more high performance related but it has been designed to provide something for everyone, responding to the requests received from members.
In general, most sessions will run on a Tuesday evening to allow people at work to still get involved. For the majority, the sessions will run from 6-7pm and will be free for all members to attend. Session may over run slightly but we will endeavour to finish on time.
Initial sessions will be quite broad but where there is clear demand and interest in a topic, we will look to provide more in depth dives on a future date.
The majority of the sessions will be hosted by STS and run in an informal manner with presentations and discussions on topics of interest, with the opportunities for you to ask questions. However some, such as the course on child protection, are officially recognised courses, hosted by external partners and on completion of the course those attending will receive certification to prove they have completed the course.
We have tried to make the programme as varied as possible but are always open to suggestions. If you would like to let us know your suggestions, please complete our education survey.
