Benefits of Membership
Thunder Shooting Club is an opportunity for shooters to safely develop advanced shooting skills and practice them regularly. The club will also provide those who either compete or attend major schools, the opportunity to practice their skills economically on a regular basis.
Thunder Shooting Club uses qualified instructors to work with you and provides the advantage of:
It is local. You don’t have to travel cross country and pay for food and lodging.
It is effective. Skills are presented in small manageable blocks, usually about 2 hours. You are allowed to develop skills at your own pace.
Providing shooters the opportunity to learn a skill, practice it in a class, and develop it through coached practice sessions allows shooters the perfect environment to learn and develop their defensive shooting skills. Two hour classes will cost as little as $25 each.
