Training Opportunities

Practical Fundamentals 2-day program set for Nov. 6-7 in Winton, Calif.

Grayguns has worked with our host in Winton, California to set up a special two-day Practical Fundamentals program at the Safety First Shooting Association’s River Oaks Range in early November. We have already pre-booked students for the program, so limited space is available.

Wondering if the Practical Fundamentals class is for you? Check out this post and check out the class discussion going on over at SigForum. The class will be held on Nov. 6 & 7, with both Bruce Gray and Jerry Jones scheduled to attend as instructors.

Nestled into the meandering plain of the Merced River in central California, the Safety First Shooting Association’s River Oaks Range is located within a large private range owned by dedicated members of the firearms training community. Training and shooting at range bordered by wandering Buffalo should be a unique experience!

The cost for the two days is $400. Since a big part of the range’s philosophy is training, they are offering the facility at no charge. That said, we are suggesting you donate between $15 and $30 to the facility to help with operational costs.

A variety of accommodations are available in the area including a Best Western, Courtyard by Marriot and a Ramada Inn. For fuel, the area includes an Applebee’s and Marie Callender’s, plus a couple of good burger and Mexican places. Huge burritos can be found in the area. Still ready to go after a day of shooting? Head to Big Bubba’s Barbecue featuring a microbrewery and a mechanical bull!

Check out the local Chamber of Commerce website for more information about the area. Winton is adjacent to Atwater, California and about 25 miles away from Turlock. Movie theaters and live entertainment can be found in the area.

Remember to check out the range’s website for details about the facility, directions and range rules. If you have any questions about the class, contact us online and we’ll get back to you within a couple of days.
