Learn from the Best! Take your first shots here!

No Experience Necessary!

Welcome to Distinguished Pistol Outdoor Shooting Range - Home to the New Shooter! First Shots is a great way to introduce first-time shooters in our community to firearms safety and the various shooting sports. Participants will get a comprehensive introduction to shooting by qualified range operators and instructors that includes (1) firearm safety, (2) local ownership requirements, (3) shooting fundamentals, and (4) hands-on instruction. This is a great place to start!

All students must wear face masks while attending the First Shots class, due to COVID-19 protection measures. Eye and ear protection is also required, and may be purchased separately here at the DP Range.

Our once-a-month scheduled First Shots class costs $50 per person (all ages) and comes with on-range instruction on basic safety principles, safe handling practices, basic shooting skills, range time, actual use of selected firearms, ammunition, and targets. Call for more information or check our Calendar for "First Shots," but our classes normally happen on the third Saturday of each month, from 5 to 6 p.m.

Classes are limited to 12 shooters per class; registration is required, pat at time of services.

Can't make the scheduled class? No worries! The First Shots class can be scheduled with a private reservation after normal business hours, by appointment only. Both groups and families are welcome to register for larger private sessions! Sign up today.
