What: Smallbore (22) and air rifle marksmanship training. We are oriented towards the novice, but can also teach up to introductory competitive level in NRA or Olympic smallbore or light rifle styles. Shooters begin prone with support, and continue to sling usage and other positions as progress warrants.

We shoot the NRA 3-position qualification programs to track progress. We are partnered with the Treasure Valley 4-H programs, but 4-H membership is optional for NRAGC families or general public. Please contact instructors before first session, to discuss shooter level and appropriate equipment.
