November 19, 2025 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Keep the rifle you rely on — whether for home defence or sport — operating at peak reliability.
Shoot North Idaho’s Rifle & Carbine Care Mini-Course delivers one hour of hands-on, instructor-led training that gives carbine owners (AR-platform and similar) the practical skills to clean, maintain, and preserve their firearms to an armorer’s standard.
Led by an NRA-Certified instructor and U.S. 82nd Airborne veteran, this workshop pairs professional authority with step-by-step guided practice. Students work on their own carbines in a focused classroom setting and leave with both competence and kit in hand.
What you’ll gain:
- A clear, repeatable routine for pre-use checks and preparing your carbine for home-defence readiness or range work.
- Armorer-level, hands-on cleaning and maintenance skills specific to modern sporting carbines (AR-style systems).
- Post-use care and corrosion prevention practices to protect components and ensure long service life.
- Confidence to inspect parts, identify wear, and perform basic upkeep that prevents malfunctions.
