For Women Only

 In the interest of helping women learn shooting skills in a safe and supportive women-only environment, we offer this four-week, 8-hour course on Saturday mornings from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.

 The course is taught by our Certified NRA Instructors who cover the areas of light rifles and ammunition, safe gun handling, rifle sports and activities, and home firearms safety.

 Participants have the opportunity to participate in hands-on light rifle target shooting, at which time our Certified NRA Range Safety Officers are in attendance on the firing line.

 Rifles are provided at no charge or you may bring your own – .22 calibre only. Ammo (for which there is a nominal charge) must be purchased at the range.

Please note:

(1) Pre-registration is required.

(2) Attendees must be 18 years old or older.

(3) You absolutely do not need any prior firearm knowledge or experience to take this course.

(4) The course fee is $50.00, which may be paid by check or money order payable to City of Yonkers, and which must be submitted with your completed course Registration Form.
