$40NSSF FIRST SHOTS RIFLE CLASS
This class is designed to introduce new and beginning rifle shooters to proper safety rules and firearm techniques. Learn to shoot in a judgment-free, stress-free environment with emphasis placed on safety and rifle fundamentals. It is better to learn the proper way initially than to overcome years of bad habits.
CLASS TOPICS: Safety, Grip, Stance, Sight Picture, Trigger Control, Follow Through, Breath Control, and an introduction to scope basics. Class will be limited to 20 students. Cost is $40.00.
YOU SHOULD BRING: Your rifle and one box (20-50 rounds) of ammunition. We will provide eye and ear protection, but please feel free to bring your own if you prefer to use your own equipment.
CLASS LOCATION: Foothills Training Center-1642 Pinedale Rd. Cherryville, NC 28021. Classroom and range are both located off HWY 150 halfway between Shelby and Cherryville, NC.
CLASS TIME: 10am to 1pm. Classroom and Range time is included.
ARE THERE ANY AGE RESTRICTIONS? You must be at least 18 years old to take this class by yourself. Patrons 11-17 years of age may take the class with adult supervision.
WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS CLASS? Whether just beginning, or you’ve shot a few hundred rounds, you will benefit from this fundamentals class. Sometimes we have the tendency to get complacent in our routines. Complacency often leads to bad habits without us even realizing it. This class will give you the opportunity to have an experienced shooter give you some valuable feedback as you begin this fun, life-long sport.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? Due to a burn risk from ejected brass, do not wear open toed shoes, loose fitting clothing, or low-cut tops or tank tops. You may want to wear a hat and sunscreen for range time.
At least one day prior to coming to the class, first time patrons must watch our safety video and submit a waiver. This can be done easily on our website at www.foothillspublicshooting.cc/waiver You are welcome to drop by the office to process your waiver and pay for the class ahead of time or payment may be made on class day.
