The Next Generation is a specialized, age-appropriate training program designed to teach children (ages 8-15) the essentials of firearms safety, the fundamentals of marksmanship, and the importance of situational awareness. Led by certified instructors with expertise in youth education, this engaging and supportive course empowers young learners to develop respect for firearms, build confidence, and cultivate critical life skills in a safe, controlled environment.
Through hands-on instruction and interactive lessons, students will master the four universal rules of firearms safety, learn proper handling and storage practices, and explore the basics of marksmanship, including stance, grip, sight alignment, and trigger control. Using youth-friendly firearms (e.g., .22 rifles or airguns) and low-recoil options, participants will practice on a private range with close supervision. The course also introduces situational awareness, teaching kids how to observe their surroundings, make safe decisions, and respond calmly in various scenarios.
Designed to foster responsibility and discipline, The Next Generation combines fun, practical exercises with serious lessons tailored to young minds. Parents are encouraged to attend an optional briefing to reinforce safety principles at home.

Great for teens!
I recently took my 16-year-old daughter to The Next Generation firearms safety and marksmanship class, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the instructors were not only highly knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about working with youth. The environment was safe, supportive, and very well-structured. The course struck an excellent balance between education and hands-on practice. My daughter learned the four universal rules of firearm safety, proper handling techniques, and the fundamentals of marksmanship in a way that was age-appropriate, respectful, and confidence-building. The use of youth-friendly firearms and the controlled, private range setting ensured that all students could learn at their own pace without pressure. One of the aspects I appreciated most was the focus on situational awareness and decision-making—skills that go well beyond the range and apply to everyday life. The instructors made a point to engage each student and ensure they understood both the responsibility and discipline that come with firearm use. The optional parent briefing was also a great addition. It helped me reinforce the safety lessons at home and feel more connected to what my daughter was learning. I highly recommend The Next Generation class to any parent looking to introduce their child to firearms in a safe, responsible, and empowering way. This class is more than just a safety course—it's a foundation for lifelong respect and responsibility.
