Note:  Be sure to watch for club sponsored Trap or Skeet clinics offered at your local gun club.  These clinics are aimed at novice and begining shooters, and I'll post them here on my website as a schedule develops.  I'll also be offering the NRA's Basic Shotgun Course several times per year, so watch for it at your local club as well.  

Important:  Contact me ASAP to secure one of the available dates and times listed below for Private Group; Small Group; or for Individual (One-on-One) instruction.

Special Note:  Minimum age for any shooter is 12 years.  For any child under the age of 18 where a parent or legal guardian cannot be present, a signed and dated permission slip is required stating that the child is allowed to handle a shotgun and take shooting lessons.
