My goal is to make firearms knowledge and training as accessible as possible especially for anyone just starting to learn about self defense or shooting sports. Listed course costs are merely an estimate as I attempt to make this a successful offering. Currently there is no set calendar for classes until I have venues set and can expect a certain number of students to cover said costs. Until things become finely tuned, prices and scheduling will remain very flexible. Discounts are also offered for people interested in working their way up the courses.

* Liberal Gun Club Intro to Range Safety and Firearms Familiarization *

Introduction to Range Safety
This short class is designed to help new shooters form a baseline in safety and marksmanship, helping their first time at the range be safe and fun. It’s specifically for novice shooters who may already have purchased a firearm but aren’t sure where to go to find out how to use it. For those that don’t have a firearm, your professional instructor will have several options to try while you are doing the course of fire after the classroom portion.

Firearms Familiarization
This is the next class in our series and goes more in depth and will give the student an overview of various types of firearms, including rifle, pistol, and shotgun, but will only have live fire for pistol due to time constraints. In addition to firearm familiarization, other topics include maintenance as well as an overview of federal and state gun laws. This class covers the content in our Introduction to Range Safety course, and is suitable for beginners.
