Ladies Pistol Class Sept 10, 2022
We will be holding a Ladies Pistol Orientation on September 10th, 2022 from 8:00am until 1:00pm. This orientation class will include both classroom instruction and shooting outdoors on our West Range. The emphasis of this class is safety and fun.
Please note that this is an introductory class designed for first time shooters. Due to the limited number of spots available, preference will be given to those who have not taken our Ladies Pistol Class in the past. If you have already taken the class and choose to sign up again, please be aware that your registration may be cancelled and your money refunded to allow for new applicants to register.
The cost to participate in the course is $80, which covers the cost of ammunition and other expenses. Payment is required at the time of registration to hold your spot in the course. Participants will receive a full refund if they cancel their registration before September 5th, 2022. No refund will be provided for cancellations on or after September 5th, 2022.
Participants can register and pay for the class online by clicking on this blue link: LADIES PISTOL CLASS REGISTRATION. Participants will receive both a confirmation email and a reminder email 3 days prior to the event. This class is open to the public. NSSA membership is NOT required.

Do not move tarp over Pistol Range dirt mound
Do not remove the tarp over the dirt mound behind the targets on the pistol range at any time. Its placement is intentional to help the mound maintain its shape as rounds are being fired into it.
