Safety and Skills Youth Will Learn

This youth firearms class focuses on the most important part of a young shooter’s education, their first formal introduction to firearms. Students learn:

• Core firearm safety rules

• Range etiquette and safe behavior on the firing line

• Muzzle awareness and understanding safe directions

• Trigger discipline and when not to touch the trigger

• Safe loading and unloading procedures

• Basic concepts of storage, maintenance, and responsible use as appropriate to their context

Once safety is established, the class moves into basic marksmanship using age-appropriate calibers:

• Stance and body position suited to the youth’s size

• Proper grip for handgun or rifle

• Sight alignment and sight picture

• A consistent shot process that builds confidence and accuracy

The goal is to help youth build safe habits, gain confidence, and enjoy shooting in a positive, controlled setting.
