NRA Basic Shotgun
Moving Targets....now the real fun begins! This course is designed to give you the "good habits" necessary to acquire moving targets consisentaly. Students will take home the NRA's "Basics of Shotgun Shooting". This is a 76 page book that will serve as a great resource for future reference. There's a 50 question multiple choice written test after completing the lecture. An average of 80% must be obtained to move to the range portion. Students unsuccesful at passing the written test will meet with the instrutor on a one-on-one basis for further training. Students will be allowed to retake the written exam upon completion of the remedial training.
For the range portion we'll shoot approximately 50-75 rounds. We'll focus on straight away, swinging left, and swinging right. Bring a shoulder pad or whatever you'd like to stay comfortable. Few shooters make it through a large volume of rounds without some discomfort or bruising. So good technique must be partnered with good padding. (There are shotguns out there that are specifically designed to reduce the recoil.)
This is a remote range with no bathroom facilities or electricity. Plan accordingly for your own comfort. The range will be closed if there's inclement weather. If the class is rescheduled due to inclimate weather students will be entitled to priority registration for the next date or a full refund.
