Education is the first step to overcome your fear of firearms. Want to buy a pistol but don’t know what to look for, then this class is for you. Have a firearm you are not sure about all the buttons and levers, this class is for you. If you do not own a firearm, no problem. I have several for you ladies to try, you would need to bring a box of 9mm Luger/Parabellum and/or .22 LR ammo to the class with you. The class is $75 which includes a $25 non-refundable registration fee. Preregistration is required. Bring eye/ear protection (I have extra of those), your firearm if you have one, the proper ammo for it, and a baseball cap. Call Dolly at 360-978-4338 to register or have your question answered.
Become a Certified NRA Range Safety Officer by taking this class. Learn how to spot trouble on a shooting range and what to do about it. Help keep others safe.
Students will arrive at 8:30 to fill out paperwork and for class handouts.
Students will need to bring their NRA card or a copy, pen, pencil, paper, snacks, drinks. Coffee and water will be provided.
We will break for lunch, 30 mins to 1 hour depending on time.
Cost is $75.00 full tuition, $25 deposit, non-refundable (so I can order books) balance of $50 (cash) is due at the beginning of class. Contact Charles at neelycw@comcast.net for information on making the deposit.
Deposit must be received by February 1st in order to be in class. (I won’t have any extra materials, I will be ordering just the number needed for class.)
Meet and get your photo taken with two of our favorite superheroes, the Amazon of Olympia and Batman in Seattle!
Free with admission or membership. Online reservations required.

“”The best time to learn anything, from first aid to firearm operation, is before you need it. The worst time to learn it is when you need that knowledge the most and yet know nothing.” Come and learn how to operate a handgun. Learn how to grip, align sights, press the trigger, how to stand and more. Don’t have a handgun, no problem. Just bring 9mm Luger/Parabellum and/or .22LR and you can use mine. You can try a semi-auto in both 9 mm and .22LR as well as a .22LR revolver. To register call Dolly at 360-978-4338. There is a $25 non-refundable deposit required at time of registration and balance due at the door. Bring a notebook, eye/ear protection and a baseball cap.
