Many first-time firearm purchasers simply don’t know where to start as the number of choices seems endless. We will have the basics covered in terms of trying out firearms in multiple popular calibers as well as different sizes, brands, sights and trigger actions. You will get the chance to shoot five rounds through 8 different firearms and start narrowing down your options and figuring out what you like best. This isn’t a class where we teach you how to shoot, as it is a sampler, so you need to know your shooting fundamentals and firearms safety essentials before signing up for this event.
Those individuals who have already joined the firearm ownership ranks are also welcome to sign up and get in on the chance to shoot some of the newest handguns that have been released, try out a red-dot for the first time or just join us for the FUN FACTOR. You may find a new firearm for just the right purpose such as personal protection, competition, target shooting or just for fun.
Join us for education, fun and of course, shooting! Maybe you’ll find just what you’ve been looking for!
