Featured Replies

HI - we have some interesting courses coming up beween now and he end of May.. See you on the range!

 

FIRST Steps - a firearm familiarization course for one firearm "action"

In addition to the whole-day "Basic" classes, NRA offers shorter, half-day "FIRST Steps" courses. These courses are designed to support a new firearms owner, or someone who wishes to become familiar with a particular type of firearm (eg a Revolver) before buying one, or for any other reason. They cover elements of safety, firearm and ammunition function and shooting technique.

 

We are offering these courses on April 27th and April 28th, at Buckeye Gun Club on Rt72 close to Barnegat:

 

First Steps Semi-Automatic Pistol: Saturday April 27th; 08.30 - 11.30; $80

First Steps Shotgun: Saturday April 27th; 13.00 - 16.00; $80

 

Take both courses on the 27th for $145

 

 

First Steps Revolver (Pistol): Sunday April 28th; 08.30 - 11.30; $80

First Steps Semi-Automatic Pistol: Sunday April 28th; 13.00 - 16.00; $80

 

Take both courses on the 28th for $145

 

These courses are focused on your particular firearm. Please bring your firearm and factory ammunition (not home reloaded). If you wish, you can use our firearms and ammunition, but please note there will be an additional cleaning fee of $30 per firearm.

NRA Basic Pistol - a comprehensive foundation to pistol shooting in all action types.

The class describes the "Knowledge, Skills and Attitude" that forms the foundation for using handguns in a safe and enjoyable way, for recreational purposes. It allows those taking the class to understand, handle, and fire revolvers and semi-automatic pistols of a variety of calibers. The class covers the fundamentals of marksmanship, how ammunition works, firearm safety and safe gun handling, how to clean and store firearms, and discusses a variety of avenues for skill development and ideas for gun-related sports. This class also forms the foundation for more advanced, self-defense orientated NRA courses, such as Personal Protection in, and outside, the home, and provides the participant with a Nationally-recognised qualification, that can be used to support applications for Concealed carry permits from several states, including Florida, Virginia, Connecticut and Arizona.

 

The next class we are running is Saturday May 4th, at fort Dix, running 08.30 - 17.00 and you can learn more about it, and sign up directly, here:

We provide everything needed: firearms, ammunition, coffee, snacks, lunch, and all training materials, diagnostic test and certificate of training. All you need to bring is a willingness to learn and participate. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
