1st Steps Shotgun Training

The First Steps Shotgun Class is a beginners class that teaches you how to safely handle, use and store shotguns and provides you the opportunity to shoot a variety of shotgun brands, types and gauges to help you select the one that's right for you.

This 3 plus hour class leads you through all of the elements needed for someone who's never fired a shotgun to safely use one.

The class includes live fire exercises to reinforce what you've learned in class. Plenty of time and ammunition will be available for practice after the class.

The class fee includes ammunition, targets, range fees and gun rental if required. Extra targets and ammunition will be available for after class shooting for an additional fee.
