The purpose of this sticky is to identify and to advertise shooting training classes in Virginia. In order to keep the thread clean, I envision a list of postings identifying or recommending companies or instructors, with general subject matter and location by city in the subject line, and class-related information, which can be in the form of a reference to a website, in the text. That way, one can scan the titles to learn what classes are being offered and in what areas, then open that post to learn the details.

I ask that companies or instructors who self-advertise do NOT post each new class, but only refer to the website where this information may be found. If you are recommending a class, please include the above information and include a brief AAR to identify why you make this recommendation.

What I would like this thread to grow into is a complete list of all shooting instruction in Virginia (if it slops a little over into a neighboring state, that is fine too; the object is to locate shooting instruction).

Greene County Sheriff’s Office offers a free handgun safety course every other month as long as there is a continued interest.


The classes are offered to those 13 and older, and teaches safe handling, usage, shooting fundamentals, proper selection, laws and the concealed permit process.

Students receive a certified certificate of completion, which may be used to apply for the Virginia concealed handgun permit through the Circuit Court. Applicants for a concealed handgun permit must be at least 21 years old, undergo a background check and be approved by the Commonwealth’s Attorney and Circuit Judge.

For more information contact Steve Keene at (434) 566-8774.

The above Basic handgun course is excellent for those needing a beginner course or a fresher on laws, it also serves to satisfy the states requirement to obtain a CHP.

This is a non live fire class.

And you don't have to be a Greene county resident to attend.
