All classes last 2 - 2.5hrs and cost $20 each.
Tactical Riflescopes, starts at 10:30am:
Today’s riflescopes have far more features and capabilities than previous generations of scopes. In the right hands those features can make you a far more capable rifle shooter. But a shooter must understand how to use the features and functions for them to be of any use. Worse, not understanding how to use your scope’s features and functions can actually make you a less capable shooter.
This course covers all aspects of riflescope equipment selection, use, and maintenance. It not only covers the fundamentals of riflescopes (which by themselves can be quite confusing to a lot of shooters!) but also more advanced topics to help you squeeze all the potential out of both your equipment and your shooting skills.
This course covers such topics as:
Defensive Shotgun - Setup and Use, starts at 1:00pm
The shotgun is an ubiquitous weapon in the arsenals of America; military, law enforcement, and civilian. They are supremely versatile and a quality model can be quite inexpensive when compared to a comparable quality handgun or carbine.
Few weapons are as flexible as the scattergun when it comes to the range of ammunition available. While a shotgun doesn't replace a good carbine in all roles, their tasks do overlap, and the shotgun is capable of much more than a lot of firearms gurus give it credit for.
