First Shots: Try Rifle is a great introductory course for families, youth, or anyone who is unsure about shooting a firearm. Participants will learn basic firearm safety and proper use of a .22 rifle while giving them the confidence and information needed to safely and successfully shoot on their own. An emphasis will be placed on introductory materials such as parts of the gun, operation of a bolt action and AR platform, proper grip, how to aim, and how to safely load and unload. Range time will consist of putting together all the basics to shoot 25 rounds of .22 LR with a .22 rifle that will be provided. A target, hearing, and eye protection will also be provided.
