Additional Information
Shooters need not be familiar with competitive shooting techniques – instruction in those techniques is what is offered in this program. As well, shooters may participate in the program recreationally.
This program is designed for those young shooters who wish to significantly improve their shooting skills, and may ultimately seek to shoot competitively.
Instructors in the program will spend significant time teaching the shooters how to safely, properly, and successfully.
Parents of shooters under age 18 are required to remain on-site while the youth are shooting (no “drop-offs” please).
