Training
Whether you are interested in getting your Ohio Concealed Carry License, learning about home defense or simply want an orientation to the shooting sports, Sherwin Shooting Sports is here to help.
Our new-shooter orientations are held every WEDNESDAY evening at 6 p.m. The class takes just about two hours to complete (including range time). Cost for the orientation is $25. Rental firearms and ammunition are extra.
Each course is limited to the first 12 students.
In your initial orientation, we cover fundamental safety and handgun knowledge, range regulations and sighting. Once you’re on the range, one of our range officers will visit with you to insure you’re comfortable and to answer any questions you may have.
Ohio Concealed Carry License (CCW)
We offer an all inclusive program, instructed on site, which not only covers the basics, but also goes a step further with a focus on Ohio law from a police perspective. Our CCW course is taught by NRA and OPTC certified instructors. You are guided through the program in a comfortable classroom setting with a maximum of 15 students per course. You will receive all the instruction necessary to subsequently apply for your concealed carry permit.
Upon completion of our 12-hour program, you will receive your NRA Basic Pistol Certificate and a Sherwin Shooting Sports CCW Certificate. In combination, these documents are proof of your education and assurance of its quality.
