Recreational Courses

Overview

The perception around guns and shooters is unfortunately colored by the many unfortunate situations we hear about almost daily.   For the most part the media portrayal of guns and gun owners does not help much either.

As usual the reality of firearm ownership and use is substantially different.   First of all guns are a part of our cultural heritage. The early explorers and settlers used guns for hunting and self- defense. To this day many of our gun owners continue to provide their families with meat to carry them through the winter.  Others enjoy competitive shooting  or just going to the range to plink.   What is not generally recognized is the deeper benefits to developing a skill with firearms.   Shooting will help you to develop focus , block out distractions , and concentrate on living in the moment.   All techniques that can help you in your daily life.

So if you are thinking about acquiring a firearm or taking a firearms licensing course you should attend this course.   We will cover all the details listed below.
