Shotgun training classes at our gun range are perfect for those looking to improve their shooting technique or those just starting with firearms. To ensure safety and effective learning, participants must meet certain requirements, such as being of legal age and having the proper identification.
Our classes are designed to teach beginners the basics of shotgun operation, safety protocols, and shooting techniques, all under the guidance of skilled instructors. Preparation for these classes includes understanding firearm safety rules and proper etiquette.
Age Requirements
Participants in our shotgun training classes must be at least 18 years old. This complies with legal regulations regarding firearm training and safety. Special programs or parental consent may be required for certain training sessions for individuals under 18. Age limits are strictly enforced to ensure that participants have the physical and mental maturity necessary for responsible firearm handling.
Firearm Safety Course
Although not a strict requirement for all participants, we highly recommend that individuals new to firearms or with little experience with shotguns complete a basic firearm safety course. This foundational training ensures that shooters understand basic firearm handling rules, the mechanics of a shotgun, and how to maintain safety at all times. For those who are unfamiliar with gun safety, this course can help build confidence and prevent accidents during shotgun training.
Personal Identification
Valid government-issued identification, such as a driver’s license or passport, is required for all participants before attending a shotgun training class. This identification is necessary for record-keeping purposes and to verify that participants are legally allowed to handle firearms. In some cases, a background check may be required for certain advanced training classes, especially if participants are seeking to carry firearms outside of the training environment.
Firearm and Ammunition Requirements
While our gun range provides shotguns and ammunition for use during the training, participants are welcome to bring their own shotguns if they prefer. When bringing a personal firearm, it must be in good working condition and comply with all local regulations regarding firearms.
If you choose to bring your own shotgun, ensure it is properly cleaned and maintained. Additionally, we supply the appropriate ammunition for the training course, but participants may also bring their own, provided it meets the specifications required for the course.
