Is This Course For You?

If you are unsure whether this course is appropriate for your skill level, then it likely is. If you have never attended formal rifle training (Not including Hunter Safety), then this course is geared for you. Most Hunter Safety Classes do not teach you how to shoot. Finally, if you have never had a basic rifle course and would like to attend advance courses with other firearms instructors, they will need proof of formal Basic Rifle training.
