FIRST Steps Shotgun Course

Introductory Shotgun Course Offers Safe Training for Beginners

This introductory shotgun course is designed for beginners seeking to learn safe and effective shooting fundamentals in a controlled and supervised environment. The session focuses on essential techniques such as proper stance, grip, sight alignment, breath control, trigger squeeze, and follow-through, along with clear instruction on safe loading and unloading procedures.

The experience begins with classroom-based training lasting at least one hour, depending on group size. During this segment, instructors explain core safety principles and foundational concepts in a straightforward and accessible manner, helping participants build confidence before handling any equipment.

Following the classroom instruction, participants move to the shooting range for approximately one hour of supervised practice. Each student has the opportunity to fire at least twenty rounds under close guidance from a qualified instructor, using beginner-friendly shotguns that are suitable for new or smaller shooters.

This is an introductory-level experience rather than a certification course, intended solely to teach basic handling and safe shooting practices. Range fees and ammunition costs are paid by participants, and valid photo identification is required. Visitors to the United States are also welcome to take part in this structured training experience.
