Whether you’re a new or prospective gun owner or hunter in search of
training, whatever your age or level of experience the Bainbridge Island
Sportsmen’s Club Certified Training Program is here to help you develop
safe, ethical, responsible and proficient shooting skills.
It hasn’t
always been easy for women to break into the world of shooting sports but
our Ladies Pistol classes have introduced dozens of island women to the
knowledge, skills and attitude to become safe and proficient shooters;
enjoying the sport with their spouses, children and other club members. Some
of our students have gone on to become instructors.
Similarly the NRA certified Home Firearms Safety class that is offered at
our facility imparts all family members with the facts and awareness
necessary to remain safe in the presence of firearms.
Since 1955 the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has worked with
thousands of certified instructors throughout the state to provide hunter
education safety training geared specifically to hunters. The Sportsmen’s
club is pleased to be a certified participant in this valuable program.
We are proud to sponsor several youth groups, among
them the Boy Scouts of America; for which we offer the venue and
training program for them to acquire their rifle, shotgun and archery
(2007) merit badges. The Boy Scouts of America and the NRA have
developed a comprehensive schedule of training to convey the knowledge
and to coach the proficiency required to obtain the skills and the
attitude required to be safe and proficient at these sports. The
Sportsmen’s club is proud to be able to teach these skills to our
children and to provide the venue for them to enjoy the sport with their
families.
