Detailed program description
The program is designed to meet the needs of a wide variety of shooters; from the person seeking to learn basic safety & marksmanship skills to the avid shooter seeking competitive success. The NRA “smallbore 4-position qualification course” forms the basis for this program. All new participants begin with an orientation covering safety and firearms basics. The shooter then proceeds to shooting exercises that permit instructors to evaluate their grasp of shooting fundamentals and make the necessary adjustments. This typically occurs at the shooter’s first visit. Once shooters have demonstrated an adequate grasp of fundamentals they may begin earning NRA certificates & badges. Instructors continuously reinforce safety. Program participants may start at any time during the season. Participants may come as frequently or infrequently as they desire. Those who have been away for an extended time may be asked to repeat the safety orientation. Parents or guardians are welcome to observe the shooters at any time – space permitting - without advance notice. They will be asked to adhere to range safety rules. Shooters who are club members may shoot at other times besides scheduled practice sessions however they will not have access to Marlboro Fish & Game equipment.
