Looking to go to the range but nervous about breaking the rules, or don’t know what to expect. Going to the range for the first time can feel overwhelming, going with an experienced buddy is a great way to put those worries to rest.
I will meet with you before hand on Google Meet, we will discuss what it’s like going to the range for the first time and what gear is necessary. Then we will meet at the range, go through the check-in process, and head out onto the range. Once there we will do a basic review, discuss what to expect in the shooting bay and how the equipment operates. Then we will get down to some basic instruction. The experience is kept fun, friendly, and relaxed. We are there to have a good time, remove the scariness of the unknown, and prepare you for solo range trips.
Prices vary depending on level of instruction needed, if you are using your own gear or mine, and the amount of time you want to spend on the range. Maximum group size of 2 to maintain an appropriate level of instruction.
Contact us for more information or scheduling.
