Basic Air Rifle PLUSONE Program


Date:  Saturday, February 15th
Time:  1pm - 4pm
Location:  Dunham's Bay Fish & Game Club

Cornell Cooperative Extension has received a grant from the National Shooting Sports Foundation to host two +One firearms education courses.  The +One program is designed to introduce new people to organized; safety focused shooting programs under the supervision of certified instructors. 

To meet the obligations of the grant, 4-H will be holding two Basic Air Rifle programs: one on Saturday February 15th from 1pm-4pm each at Dunham's Bay Fish & Game Club and one TBD. The program will cover basic firearm safety: M.A.T.T. which stands for: Muzzle control, Action open until ready to shoot, finger off the Trigger until ready to shoot, and be sure of your Target and what is beyond it. We will also cover eye dominance, sight alignments, and basic target shooting positions. 

The program is open to youth ages 9-19 (who have NOT taken a 4-H Shooting Sports firearms class in the past) and they must be accompanied by an adult (21+) who also would like to know more about shooting.  The adult must be a parent/guardian/caretaker for the youth in question or have a signed letter of consent from said parent.  By providing the youth and an adult the basic skills, programs like +One and 4-H hope to foster positive examples of safe behavior from both the youth and adult in the future.  The program also hopes that this will create a lifelong activity that both can participate in together.  All safety, air rifles, targets, and pellets are provided. 

Youth must be enrolled in 4-H by date of the class. There is a $10 fee for enrollment in 4-H and enrollment lasts until October 1, 2020.  Participants then have access to any program in which they meet age restrictions.  Adults will need to complete acknowledgement of risk forms for themselves and the youth they are accompanying. All youth/adult partnerships will receive a free firearms safety gift from Dunham’s Bay Fish & Game to participating.

Registration is required and can be done by emailing John Bowe at jfb32@cornell.edu or by calling 518-668-4881.  Or email Michele Baker mlb222@cornell.edu The class is limited to 12 youth and 12 adult partners, so register soon!
