Here is a site where you can find ranges near by.

Found that this morning! It's not complete, unfortunately. A little more searching turned up some unlisted sites, like this one:

Time to make some phone calls.

Ok cool. I know you will be, but be wary of so called professionals. I have found that often they will just teach enough to satisfy a beginner, and really do not teach them what they need to know. If they do not teach the five basic safety rules, then it is a good sign that they will not be teaching.

Great, good luck, and if ya need something let me know.

There is a lot of good information that can be used by civilians in MCRP 3-01A.

of course who wants to shoot like a Marine?

It's much easier to hit the target by dropping a bomb.

haha, but even if you learn to shoot like a Marine, you'd still only be half as good as a Canadian light infantryman at best.

An American O4 driving an F-16 dropped a laser-guided 225-kilogram JDAM on a group of Canadian soldiers.

Is this thread for posting pictures of firearms? I really don't get it.
