The Basic Rifle Training Course is designed to give students an extensive introduction to gun safety and teaches the skills necessary to effectively operate a rifle-style weapon. Our skilled and highly trained instructors will help guide students through a series of hands-on exercises that are easy to understand for students of all experience levels and help instill confidence and effective shooting techniques in even the most novice of students. Our instructors understand that, for some people, simply handling a firearm of any kind can be intimidating. It is our goal to build confidence in our students by ensuring that they are taught the fundamentals of operating a rifle with accuracy, while still adhering to all gun safety rules.

By applying the basic principles of weapons manipulation, we will help each student reach their highest level of success by utilizing areas of strength and improving areas of weakness for each student. A rifle can often be more intimidating for many people, especially for a person with no weapon handling experience. If that sounds like you, let our highly qualified team of instructors share the tips and tricks they’ve learned from years of experience to help give you the tools and confidence you need to handle, aim, and fire your weapon with accuracy and precision.

If you are someone who is already comfortable with a rifle and has weapon-handling experience, our team of instructors is here to help you enhance your shooting technique and hone your marksmanship skills.

Our highly trained and well-qualified staff have decades of experience, a wealth of knowledge, and unparalleled training in firearms operation and manipulation. Let us share some of that with you.
