Danville Conservation Club - Youth Shooting Program
Thanks to a generous grant from The NRA Foundation, we are pleased to offer the NRA's FIRST STEPS Rifle course to the youth of our community. A $5 fee helps ensure the Club can continue to hold these classes. Space for each class is limited and pre-registration is required. Classes will be held based on demand and funding.
This youth firearms safety course is open to ages 12 through 17. The instructors are NRA Certified and are running this youth program as volunteers. During the four-hour introduction for new shooters, participants will learn the basics of safe handling, operation, basic marksmanship, and proper cleaning and storage of the 22 caliber bolt-action rifle.
For more information and scheduling send an e-mail to info@dccsafety.com. Please use the title "Youth Program" for your e-mail and include your Name, Age, Parent's Name, Phone number, and E-mail address. Also indicate whether you are right or left-handed.
Youth and adult courses for pistol and rifle are scheduled throughout the year, and Boy Scouts are encouraged to contact the Club in regard to Rifle Shooting Merit Badge. Youth interested in the Rifle Shooting Merit Badge will have a separate class.
