Idaho Fish and Game staff along with NRA-certified instructors will be teaching a Basic Shotgun course April 27 at the Farragut Shooting Range Center in Athol.

The class is geared toward new or potential shotgun owners with little or no experience with shotguns or those considering a first-time shotgun purchase. Don't have a shotgun? No worries. We have 20 gauge shotguns available for any person needing one.

There are only 20 spots available in the class. Registration is required and can be completed at www.register-ed.com/events/view/210572.

The cost of the class is $20, which covers personalized instruction from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Payment can be made online or by cash or check at the door. All participants must be 18 years or older to participate.

The class will cover: shotgun types; terms and definitions; safe handling; proper stance; sight alignment; shooting and range rules and live fire.

This class is part of our “Hunting and Shooting Sport Skills” classes. Class offerings vary widely, but can include specialized skills courses such as Basic Handgun on April 6, Introduction to Youth Archery on April 16 and more. Check here for current and future class offerings.

We want you to feel equipped and be successful in your hunting and shooting endeavors!
