Training and Classes
In addition to the regular competitive events in IPSC Pistol, Bullseye Pistol, Smallbore and Highpower Rifle, Cowboy Action and Skeet, training classes are provided for the various shooting disciplines and related subjects by Sir Walter Gun Club, Inc. Due to space limitations and the availability of course materials, pre-registration two weeks prior to the course date is recommended to insure a seat in the course. Feel free to call to determine course availability.
Certified National Rifle Association instructors periodically hold classes on such subjects as basic pistol, basic rifle, shotgun, personal protection, home firearms safety, reloading, range safety officer and the North Carolina concealed carry course. The courses are open to the public and are geared to the skill levels of the students.
All information on upcoming training classes, course content, prerequisites, etc. can be obtained by calling the Sir Walter Gun Club information number at 919-521-8904 or by e-mail at
