Basic Shotgun Instruction (June)

Now is the time to register for the 2009 class.  It will be held June 4, 11, 18 & 25

This program is designed to teach students how to safely break moving targets.  It is the standard NRA Basic Shotgun Shooting Course.  Age limits are 12-16.  The primary requirement is that students must  be physically capable of handling a shotgun, so students younger  than 12 may be considered on an individual basis.

The club will furnish all materials, guns, and ammunition.  If a student has a personal gun that fits, it may be used (NO .410s!), and the club will supply ammunition.  The course length is 10 hours.  It will run for four consecutive Thursday nights from 5:30-8:00pm.  We will not be teaching any formal shotgun games.   Successful completion will be acknowledged with an NRA certificate.

Get your kids out for a fun course that introduces them to a safe, fun, lifetime sport.

The outdoor airgun range provides shooting from 5- and 10-meter firing lines.  It is designed to accommodate six firing positions, and features mud free gravel firing lines.  It was not designed as an all-weather facility, but will provide lots of fun for family outings.
