Basic Rifle Course

man-aiming-rifle-600x300   A rifle is a long gun designed to be fired with two hands. It has a rifled bore (thus the name “rifle”) and is designed to shoot a specific size of ammunition. Rifles are often used in game hunting and in long range marksmanship competitions. The Basic Rifle course will be fourteen hours. In it, students will get the NRA’s The Basics Of Rifle Shooting handbook and intensive lessons in safety, gun handling, fundamentals of rifle shooting, several practical exercises on the firing range, cleaning, storage, and a summary of rifle sports and activities. This first step rifle course is a 14-hour class and will be held over a two-day period. Most classes will start on Friday evening at 6:00 PM and go until 10:00 PM. We will then start Saturday at 8:00 AM and continue until finished. This class is open to all, ages 8 and up. However, students under the age of 18 must have a parental consent form signed and must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian throughout the entire class.
