The purpose of this event is to abolish some mystery behind various firearms by providing a hands-on approach for students to make themselves familiar with what is found throughout the United States. Through education, it is hoped that students will be able to understand that firearms a little better and enhance their knowledge of a very long American pass time.
This is designed to be a positive event and strictly for the purpose of education in various aspects/types of firearms. Through this event, it is hoped that students have a new appreciation for the sporting value and the personal defense attributes that firearms provide the every day citizen, while also learning about safety.
