Come learn about basic pistol shooting. Safety rules, grip, stance, sight alignment and more. Now is the time to overcome the fear of firearms. If you do not own a firearm that is not a problem.

Bring your firearm, appropriate ammo for that firearm, eye/ear protection (I have some to loan of those as well) and a baseball cap. Contact Dolly at 360-978-4338 if you have any questions or would like to register for this class. A $25 non-refundable preregistration fee is required with the balance due at the door.
