At Beech Paradise Ranch, we welcome youth students who are interested in shooting. However, we require that parents or guardians accompany all students under the age of 15 at all times. This is to ensure everyone’s safety and provide a comfortable environment for learning. Under the age of 15 we evaluate each youth shooter on a case-by-case basis. Our goal is to create a safe and enjoyable experience for all our visitors, regardless of age.

  • Introduction to Pistols (2 – 3 hours)
    • We start with 1 hour focused on Safety, Handling, Storage, Transport, Assembly, Disassembly, Maintenance, Range Etiquette, and Familiarization and more with your firearm.
    • The second hour we focus on Handling, Loading, Malfunctions, Body Mechanics, Form, Aiming, and Shooting.
    • The third hour is a shooters choice if they wish to remain on the range to continue practicing what they just learned without an instructor to not feel like someone is looking over the shoulder while you practice.
