Basic Rifle Shooting
Rifle marksmanship is both fun and rewarding if you learn the basics. Some chose to learn to shoot rifles for sport and completion, to hunt both small and large game, and some for just the fun of shooting.
The basic rifle course teaches the fundamental knowledge, skills, and attitude for the safe use of a rifle for target shooting. This is a perfect class for those that are thinking of, or have purchased their first rifle. The intent of the course is to introduce and give practical hands on experience with all the components of a modern rifle.
The course provides instruction in:
- Rifle knowledge and safe gun handling.
- Ammunition knowledge and the fundamentals of rifle shooting.
- Firing the first shot (Shooting from a supported position, zero the sites of a rifle, and cleaning and storage.)
- Shooting from a standing position.
- Shots from a prone and kneeling position.
- Shooting from a sitting position
- Rifle sports and activities
The rifle course is an estimated 14 hours in length based on the NRA provided lesson plans. However, based on student participation and previous experience of students the time may vary.
