Improve Your Shooting Skills with NRA Marksmanship Training at Fitchburg Sportsmen’s Club in Ashburnham, MA!

Want to sharpen your shooting skills in a fun and structured environment? Join Keith from GranitePond for weekly skill-building sessions, alternating between rifle and pistol training as part of the NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program—a self-paced training platform designed to help you develop precision, set personal challenges, and advance at your own pace.

Requirements: You must already have your MA License to Carry (LTC) to participate.

Cost & Equipment:

$10.00 per session; Bring any safe rifle (.308 or under) or pistol (any caliber).
(I will provide .22 caliber rifles, pistols for drills for use if needed.)

Bring your own ammo for your guns, I will provide the ammo for my 22s.

Many drills will utilize .22LR firearms, thanks to their low recoil and ammo affordability, making them ideal for refining marksmanship fundamentals

In addition to the program’s standard drills, we will incorporate introductory drills as needed.

Thursday evenings & Friday afternoons (see attached schedule)
Alternating weekly between rifle and pistol training. \
