Learn to Shoot Safety Class

Our Learn to Shoot Safety Class takes non-shooters and beginners through the basics of learning to handle a shotgun and getting range ready. This class is offered every Saturday and Sunday at 9:45am, 11:30am, 1:15pm, and 3:00pm. The Learn to Shoot Safety class covers range etiquette/rules, safely handling of the shotgun, loading/unloading, stance and shooting clay targets. Each class holds 6 people and pre-registration is required as we cannot guarantee walk-in space. The class is $45 per person and lasts about 1 ½ hours.  All equipment is included with the exception of eye protection.  Safety glasses, regular eyeglasses or sunglasses are acceptable forms of eye protection.  Inexpensive eye protection can be purchased at the range if needed.  Open to everyone age 12 and up.

Private Lessons

For folks wanting private lessons we have many NSCA certified instructors that are qualified to help folks who have never handled a shotgun on up to Master Class shooters. For $75* an hour you and your instructor go over specifically what you want to work on. It could be any of the games we have here, your stance, gun mounting or just wanting to become more efficient with your shotgun. The first person is $75 per hour and each additional person is $25 each per hour. Open to everyone age 12 and up. We can accommodate up to 3 people in our private lessons. 

*$75 covers the time with the instructor.  If you need a gun rental, ammunition or targets that is a la carte.
