If you like to shoot your rifle(s) and have never taken a class in rifle fundamentals, the NRA Basic Rifle class is for you. No experience required. From hunting to home defense, the rifle can be a gun owner's best friend. With proper training, you can have the confidence and ability to safely operate your rifle.

This 1-day course includes classroom and range time learning to shoot rifles. Students learn NRA’s rules for safe gun handling; rifle parts and operation; ammunition; shooting fundamentals; range rules; shooting from the bench rest, prone, sitting, standing and kneeling positions; cleaning, and continued opportunities for skill development.

We supply 22LR rifles and ammunition as part of the class. If you have a 22LR rifle with open sights or an optic, you can bring it as well.

Students will receive the Basics of Rifle Shooting handbook, NRA Gun Safety Rules brochure, Winchester/NRA Marksmanship Qualification booklet, take a Basics of Rifle Shooting Student Examination, and receive a course completion certificate.

The NRA Basic Rifle Course is broken down into five lessons. Course length will vary. Students will be given a break for lunch.

Lessons include:

* Lesson I: Rifle Knowledge and Safe Gun Handling

* Lesson II: Ammunition Knowledge and the Fundamentals of Rifle Shooting

* Lesson III: Firing the First Shots

* Lesson IV: Scoring Targets, and Selecting and Maintaining Your Rifle
