We offer several rifle and shotgun classes at Advanced Shooting, including a Youth Class for kids 8+ years old, a rifle and shotgun. See our current class schedule here.

All of our classes are taught by experienced instructors. Our Youth instructor is NRA Certified and a father who taught his kids to shoot. Our rifle instructor is a police officer who cares a .223 rifle every day, and an Air National Guardsman MP who qualified as an Expert Marksman with his M4. Our shotgun instructor has been teaching sporting clays, trap and skeet for over 10 years at a Cincinnati gun club, often shoots in local competitions, and is a crack shot with any gauge shotgun.

Youth - First Steps - $40 + $5 range fee per adult (1 parent + 1 kid)

Teach your 8+ year old child gun safety the right way with our NRA Certified instructors. We'll meet at a public range and shoot a one of several 22 rifles -- from a single-shot to a semi-auto, both scoped and with iron sites. We supply the guns and the instructor, you supply the 22 ammo.

Your child will learn basic gun safety, the discipline and respect necessary to be around firearms, what to do if they ever come across a gun without a parent, range rules, how to properly handle a rifle, and how to shoot safely and effectively.

There is different pricing for this class depending on how many youths and how many parents/guardians come along. Grandparents, uncles/aunts are OK to join us at the range with a youth. Click "register" by the date you want and pull down one of the menus for details. Class is two (2) hours long, and starts with a gun safety briefing.

Classes are typically done as private courses for groups or individuals, but we do hold occasional public classes. See our class schedule for when the next one is scheduled, or email us for more information.
