Program Details
Safety First
A two-hour rifle familiarization and safety course is required before the first night of shooting. This training starts providing the student with basic attitudes and skills to safely use a firearm.
Range sessions are supervised by NRA Certified Instructors and/or NRA Certified Range Safety Officers.
Equipment & Course of Fire
The club provides rifles and ammunition. Families with an appropriate firearm may ask to have it approved by the Chief Instructor for use.
The course of fire used is the National Rifle Association / Civilian Marksmanship Program's 4 position small bore rifle qualification.
Progression & Achievement
Shooters who complete the program will gain proficiency in prone, sitting, kneeling, and offhand (standing) positions.
Shooters work through 14 steps from "Provisional Marksman" to "Expert Marksman" and are eligible for the respective badges and patches as they progress. Completion through expert usually takes 2-4 years.
Parental Involvement
The team requests that a parent or guardian is present while the student is shooting. With prior approval, exceptions may be occasionally possible.
