Safety is our top priority. Once everyone has arrived, we’ll begin with an initial safety briefing, followed by a short introduction to air rifle target shooting and an overview of how the day will unfold.

We’ll then head to the shooting range for detailed rifle and range safety instruction. Once this is complete, you’ll be fully briefed, confident, and ready to start shooting.
