Bethunium Training

This class is a basic introduction to firearms that assumes no prior knowledge. It is good for those who are considering firearm ownership or those who want to understand how to navigate around firearms safely.

We will have approximately 3 hours of classroom instruction, then we'll be driving to a shooting range in the suburbs for live fire practice. If you need a ride, please include that info in the notes field during registration. Timeliness is important - please show up at 12:15pm to sign papers, so we can begin class by 12:30pm. We want to be on the range by 4:30pm to ensure we have a full hour for everyone to shoot.

Topics we will cover include:

• Firearms and parts
• Safely loading and unloading
• Safely operating and shooting
• Basics of marksmanship
• Overview of firearms laws
• Live fire practice

Please review all of our policies on our Policy Page, and be prepared to sign a waiver once you arrive to class. The class fees include range fees, targets, instruction, and use of up to 25 rounds of 9mm ammunition on the range. I will have 9mm handguns available for use during class. If you bring your own gun and it is not 9mm, please bring ammunition or be prepared to purchase it at the range.
