Have you wanted to learn to shoot a handgun but never had the chance? Do you own a handgun and want some practice? Come join CYP for an instructor-led afternoon at the Rivanna Rifle and Pistol Club located on Old Lynchburg Road. This is a great opportunity to learn about the shooting sports in a safe, structured environment. Participants will learn how to safely and properly handle a handgun under the supervision of experienced instructors. There will be a safety briefing, followed by small group instruction, and then plenty of range time. People new to handguns will learn everything from the parts of a pistol and revolver, what the difference between the two are, how to load and unload, how to determine your dominant eye, and of course how to properly shoot.

Participants should bring a positive attitude towards handguns and footwear that covers the entire foot, all other required items will be provided. A brimmed hat and collared shirts are also recommended (you do not want a hot shell casing to go down your shirt).
Participants are encouraged to bring their own handgun AND ammunition if they choose to do so.

Please note: As per Federal Law, anyone who has ever been convicted of a felony may not participate in this event.

More information on the Rivanna Rifle and Pistol Club (including directions) can be found at: http://www.rrpc.org.... Also, feel free to contact Carlos if you have additional questions.

    Since I am new to CYP, I didn't know what to expect, but everyone was nice and, most importantly, it was fun!!! I would love to do it again!

    •  thought it was a great idea and the host was awesome and very gracious 
    •  This was a blast... literally. Carlos did a fantastic job of organizing and instructing; I really appreciate the time and resources he put into this event. Everyone I spoke to really enjoyed this event. 
    •  I really had a blast. It had been awhile since I went shooting; almost forgot how much fun it was. It was also fun introducing people to shooting, which is a much maligned and misunderstood sport. Everyone seemed to have a great time.
