Junior Rifle Safety We are looking for responsible young people who are interested in firearms. If that is you or your kids we would like to safely introduce them to firearms. Have you ever heard of primal learning? Primal learning is how our mind stores new information for the first time. When we learn a new skill for the first time we will take that as fact even if we know it to be wrong. This is why it is so important for our kids to learn how to properly handle and shoot firearms the first time. Once I found a professional instructor it took me longer than some to understand what they were teaching because of my own primal learning scars. Find out what you have been missing by having a professional firearms instructor start your kids off right. I found this to be especially true in math class. I know we are not talking about math but just like math once you get the basics correct the rest can be a lot easier. We designed this class with young people (ages 6+) in mind. Your children will learn about firearm safety, what to do if they find a gun or encounter someone who should not have a gun, how a variety of.22 rifles function, and basic marksmanship skills. All of this in a fun and safe environment that parents and kids will enjoy. Cost: $70 Requirements: Signed parental permission, (We provide ammunition and firearm (parents may shoot for $25 each).
