The Second camp is Thursday July 12, 2012 to Sunday July 15, 2012. Fee for each camp is $150.00. Fee includes bunkhouse style lodging, meals from Thursday dinner through Sunday lunch, shooting literature, instructional materials, expert instruction, ammunition, and approved tournament fees.
Levels of instruction will be for beginning, intermediate, and advanced shooters. Classification levels will be determined by the information provided on the enclosed application and by the coaches' assessments at the start of camp. Participants must be a minimum of 10 years of age through 18 years of age. Our camp features highly individualized instruction and coaching and intense long days of instruction and practice. The camp is culminated with an NRA approved match tournament and awards ceremony.
