This is a kid's class, we want to teach our children how to be safe with firearms. We aim to teach safe and responsible firearm handling. One of the most effective ways to teach children not to play with a firearm is to show them what they do. This is a great way to get kids away from the video game, to learn something that could save their own or your life one day. We see too many kids killed in firearm-related accidents. Our goal is to bring that number to zero. Our core objective is to give kids something they can use for life. Whether it's hunting, recreation, competition, or self-defense we want the kids educated on all aspects.
