Greg and I will be teaching two classes on Sunday, June 26th. One will be a USPSA/IMGA rifle class, and the other will be a USPSA/IMGA Shotgun class. You may take either or both. We do recommend taking both as much of the material will be complimentary. Using rifles and shotguns in competitions is very fun, but it can be very challenging too. The difference between being a fair long gun shooter and an very good one is huge, and we can show you how to get to the next level. Multigun is a growing sport and the prize tables are huge. You need to be on top of this wave with us.
The rifle class will be a 4 hour class, starting at 8:30am and will cover the skills necessary to compete in USPSA or IMGA rifle or multi-gun matches with a rifle. We'll go over equipment choices, ammunition, sight-ins and trajectories. Well use and discuss different types of targets, all types of functional issues, and we'll spend a lot of time on different shooting positions. We'll teach you how to set realistic goals and drills to help you acheive them. The cost for the rifle class is $120.
The shotgun class will be a 2 hour class, starting at 1:00pm and we're going to teach you skills needed to be a proficient shotgun shooter. Like the rifle class, we're going to talk about equipment choices, chokes, and ammunition. We're going to spend a lot of time on reloading as it is one the most critical skills in shotgun competition. We're going to work realistic goals and teach you the drills that will help you reach them. The cost for the shotgun class is $60.

If you don't have something on the list contact me and we'll see if we can find you something to borrow for the class or maybe we can figure out where to buy it in time.
