Our First "First Shots" Event Was a Huge Success!

A big thank you to all of our incredible volunteers and participants for making this event one to remember!

4 dedicated instructors, 1 amazing RSO, and 4 members of the AG&AG Nature Coast (FL) chapter spent a few hours providing 16 participants with a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable fi****ms experience.

Thank you to the participants for listening carefully and remaining super safe during your turn shooting! Your focus and commitment to safety made all the difference.

Special shout-out to the amazing organizations that made this event possible:
NSSF—The Firearm Industry Trade Association for sponsoring the event, providing the presentation materials, handbooks, handouts, and advertising!
Wi******er for providing the ammo!
Birchwood Casey for the targets!
Pyramex Safety Products for the eye and ear protection!
PBRC Straight Shooter Range Club for allowing us to hold this event at your range, and for being the RSO-extraordinaire!

We couldn’t have done it without the support and hard work from everyone involved—thank you for making it happen!

Looking forward to many more events like this!

If you are a self-defender, notice what that term is and means: defending one's self or loved ones when there are no other options like avoidance, escape, or de-escalation. Those are the best ways to get home with all your body parts intact.

Please read the following and remember that your safety is more important than your ego.

Before you say, oh no, now you’re victim-shaming, let’s be real. It’s always stupid to provoke a high-risk incident and even stupider to decide to wander into one.
