NOVA Classes for shotguns and carbines

Radiki · January 22, 2006, 07:30 PM

I was wondering if anyone in the Northern Virginia area knows of any good classes to go to about shotguns and carbine use. Since I don't really hunt the only time I shoot in standing in a lane at a range and although I can hit what I am aiming at, if the time comes where I have to use them, I doubt the BG will be stand still 15 feet from me with good lighting. I am willing to travel a little, but I would like it to be a day trip, maybe a weekend. I am just trying to improve my skills overall instead of focusing on one aspect of them. All I am getting now is ?qualified? advice from others at the range. Any ideas? Anyone go to the NRA for classes and if so any you would reccomend

Thanks
Mike

I sent my "quasi-gun hater" wife to a NRA first steps pistol course with Mike Wilson in Alexandria. She was impressed by how well he taught and she actually enjoys shooting with me now. I'd recommend him.
