Okay folks, my two children are finally getting to the age where I want to introduce them to the love of sport shooting, and teach them the love and respect that comes with knowing how to properly handle a firearm. Are there any good places to get them started here in tha SF Bay Area? I'd like to have something fairly close to home that will enable us as a family to go shooting. Any input would be most welcome. |

I've had good luck at Chabot with the kids. They provide the rifle, ammo, ear & eye protection, targets, and instruction at a very low price. Very friendly instructor and the kids can shoot untill they get sick of shooting. I took the defensive handgun and shotgun classes there. Very reasonably priced for beginner level training. Livermore has a few classes but although I shoot there occasionaly, I've never taken their classes. |

Okay, specifically: nestled at the foot of Mt. Diablo, and I'm willing to drive 20 miles in any direction to get to a decent place. 30 if it's awsome. The main idea is to get my son and daughter into the mindset that 'guns are good, its people that can be bad' instead of the liberal mindwash that most schools are ramming down people's throats. |
