Carolina Sporting Arms will be hosting a Coed Marksmanship development night on Thursday Nights. The Coed Marksmanship development class is a self-paced course designed to reinforce basic handgun safety and the fundamentals of marksmanship, targeting either brand-new shooters or shooters looking to build and improve their current skills. The program follows a nationally recognized program of repetitive drills of gradually increasing difficulty called the Winchester Marksmanship Program.
What is the class about/What will you learn?
By the end of the program, the shooter will have mastered the fundamentals of marksmanship and be able to hit their intended target with confidence and will also have qualified for the NRA Distinguished Expert tab in the pistol discipline. This is a nationally recognized level of achievement that is something to be proud of!
