Come learn how to clean your firearm!! A clean firearm is more reliable, more accurate and easier to use. One of the most stressful things for me when I bought my first firearm was knowing how to clean it. I knew it needed to be done, but had no clue where to start or what to use. The products in the stores are endless and can be intimidating too!! Come learn all about tearing your gun down, cleaning it, lubricating it and reassembling it! While we clean we go over some great info on gear and gadgets for conceal carry and home defense!!

Learning about firearms and how they work at a young age will help your child develop a healthy respect for firearms and will ensure they know how to respond if one is ever suddenly present and you aren't there. This class will introduce your child to basic firearm safety and operation. We go over safe muzzle direction, trigger discipline, how to act around guns and much more!! We recommend this for kids 8 and up, but are willing to work with you if you feel your child is ready at a younger age or if an older sibling will be taking the class!
