History
Established in 2013.
Make Ready! is a common command at the shooting range. It is the time to safely prepare your handgun, rifle, or shotgun to fire. For a defensive shooter, either on or off the range, it is time to be prepared and ready for action. For a beginning shooter on the range for the first time, it is an exciting moment of anticipation; the build up to their first shot. Whatever your skill level, you always have to «make ready». The Make Ready! mission is to support the shooting community, both novice and veteran, through positive outreach and training. Safety is paramount in everything we do. There is much to learn from each course and we always have fun.
