Butler County Community College is offering a series beginning later this week that teach handgun safety and marksmanship.
Basic pistol shooting is a two day course from the National Rifle Association that will be held this Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Room 106 of the Science and Technology Building on BC3’s main campus. The course will continue Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Litman Range Facility off Route 8.
This class for civilians ages 21 and older will be taught by a former military special operations member and is designed to teach firearm safety as well as how to place five rounds into 4-inch diameter circular targets at a distance of 10 feet.
Participants must supply their own pistol, holster or case, and ammunition. The same class will also be offered two different times in August as well as once in October. To register or for more information, visit bc3.edu/firearmtraining.
