Youth Shotgun Clinic

Rockville F&G will hold a seminar Saturday, May 25 for youth, up to the age of 18, interested in learning how to properly and safely shoot trap and skeet. Any youth mature and strong enough to safely handle a shotgun is invited to attend. Attendees must be a family member of a club member or for non-members parent/guardian. The seminar is expected to take approximately four hours and will consist of classroom and hands on, supervised live fire shooting in the field. Participants will be instructed on how a shotgun works, shotgun actions, basic firearms safety rules, proper handling and shooting of shotguns with actual hands- on activity.

Time on the range will include a safety briefing with close supervision live fire putting into practice safe and proper gun handling and shooting. Each participant will shoot an exploratory round (25 shots) at basic trap and skeet shots and one complete round of their choice of trap or skeet.

Participants may bring their own shotguns or use one provided by the program. All participants 18 and under will be required to have a parent or guardian sign their approval to attend the class.
