MEDFORD RIFLE AND PISTOL CLUB has a program for new gun enthusiasts, young or old, male or female. This is in response to inquiries from the public and our members.

Basic Training 101 is a way to get started safely with the use of firearms. It is not a skills class or a concealed carry course or hunters safety class. It is for the person that is interested in learning to shoot a pistol or rifle or would like to know the basics before they get a firearm of their own.

The class is offered free of charge as a public service by MRPC. Donations will be accepted to cover class material costs but they are in no way a requirement. Firearm ownership is not a requirement. Class size will be limited and you must pre-register with the contact below.

Classes will be put together and dates set when about 5 or more have
pre-registered.

Basic Training 101 includes:

• Identifying types of firearms and their ammunition.
  
• Safe handling and storage.
  
• Range and personal safety rules.
  
• How a firearm works and what may be the best type for your use.
  
• Basic marksmanship fundamentals.
  
• Question and answer session.
  
• On the indoor range live firing of the clubs guns or your own (std. pistol calibers
  or rimfire rifle only)
  

Class instructors are from the clubs various shooting sports and are experienced in safety, gun skills and competition as well as personal defense. The clubhouse has a soft drink machine, restrooms and a meeting room along with an indoor range.
