HANDGUN, SHOTGUN, AND RIFLE COURSES
Non-NRA Approved Classes
Skull & Bones Tactical's Handgun, Shotgun, and Rifle Courses are specifically designed to build upon the basic fundamentals of Firearms Safety, handling, and basic marksmanship.
The Instructor/Student ratio is based on the size of the class and is optimized to provide one on one training as needed; this also helps promote safety and a positive range experience for the novice marksmen. Firearms Safety is first and foremost in all Skull & Bones Tactical courses.
