Get Range Ready!

Gun basics over a light dinner! Designed for first time shooters. Get completely comfortable before you head to a live fire environment. Learning the basics on the range is often less than ideal. Guns are going off, you have eye and ear protection on, communication is a struggle, and anxiety levels are high.

We suggest relaxing in a nice quiet intimate group over a light dinner and refreshments and leaving with all the knowledge and skill sets necessary to be comfy on your first trip to the range. This meetup is designed for those who either own guns they don’t handle often or that would like to shoot but are intimidated with handling the gun without understanding it’s functionality. Participants will handle a variety of guns. Eye dominance testing and dry fire practice ensure that by the time you show up to the range you are comfortable, confident, safe, and knowledgeable. Equipment is provided.

This meetup is NOT designed to create accuracy in shooting performance. This is simply to familiarize the first time shooter with how the gun functions and teach basic safety.
