CHILD SAFETY & FIREARMS FUNDAMENTALS

Children’s Firearms & Safety Fundamentals course is a FAMILY course. This means you can attend this course with the intention of passing on what you have learned to your children, OR, you can attend with them.

It is a comprehensive guide designed to address the topic of firearms and safety with kids of all ages, (as young and 3 and up - customizable due to age and maturity of the child) and to provide a positive, welcoming, and fun learning experience for youth – all while promoting the safe, responsible and ethical use of firearms.

This course provides the information and the skills you need for you, the parent, and for the young people with whom you share this – to be more confident, capable and safe with firearms.

This class in its entirety, covers the following topics, and takes 10 to 12 hours to complete. I will call you after you have signed up for part one and we will pick those modules that you feel best apply to you and your family.

Note that part 1 will take roughly 6 hours to complete. We can mix and match these modules to fit your needs. If you want to carry on with other modules and firearms disciplines, we can get you scheduled for any or all of the remaining modules of the class after you complete part 1.
