Training

Head-15

The Westford Sportsmen’s Club has several NRA Certified Instructors who provide instruction to club members and to the general public. Classes provide an introduction to the knowledge, skills and attitude necessary to use and enjoy firearms safely. Most classes also satisfy the Massachusetts training requirements for obtaining a Firearm Identification Card (FID) or License to Carry Firearms (LTC). Club instructors also teach Home Firearms Safety as part of the Roudenbush Community Center’s adult education program.

Club members who offer training can list their contact information, qualifications & courses in the forum.

There is a catalog of instructor-recorded training videos available to WSC members.

NRA Home Firearm Safety Course (Indoor Range CLOSED)


March 16, 2024

NRA-certified instructors will teach NRA Home Firearm Safety, a nationally-recognized training course for the safe handling and storage of firearms and ammunition in the home. At the successful completion of this course, students will receive a basic firearm safety certificate which satisfies the Massachusetts legal requirement for applying for a License to Carry firearms (or the Firearms Identification Card, which conveys fewer privileges).

Students will be charged $50.00 (cash, or check made out to the name of the President) to cover course materials with proceeds going to the Scholarship Fund. (Classes of this type are currently retailing for $125.00).

This course will be open to Club members and their immediate family. Students must register via Signup Genius.

The clubhouse indoor range will be closed for the duration of the class.

Red Cross Adult/Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED training

Tuition is $65.00/person. This class will be a complete Red Cross class. Spots will be limited.

Direct questions to Elizabeth, the Junior Club Chair.
