Introduction:  

This class is designed to introduce you to the modern sporting rifle, the AR15. This rifle has many “flavors” because it is so customizable. You can set one up for your own preferences. We will explore a few variants and accessories as well as the basic parts and functionality.

We will start with gun safety and range etiquette, hands-on in the classroom and then enjoy some trigger time on the range!
