Intermediate Courses

Intermediate classes are geared to shooters with some experience handling firearms.  The classes offer shooters affordably-priced opportunities to sharply enhance their abilities and shooting skills.

If you haven't fired a gun before, these classes aren't for you and here's why:  instructors at these classes are going to expect the students to have previous training in gun handling safety and range etiquette.  Students may be walking around with holstered guns that may in fact be loaded or perhaps unloaded with ammunition nearby.  Instructors vary, but any major safety violations will probably be cause for ejection from the course.  (If it happens to you, don't get angry or take it too hard.  You had a bad day and learned a valuable safety lesson.)

You'll be warmly welcomed by more experienced shooters who help you build upon the basics, patiently helping you with any areas you have difficulty with.  

These classes also make great gifts for loved ones, particularly those who have almost everything already.  As Ben Franklin once said, "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest."
