“A good shot must necessarily be a good man since the essence of good marksmanship is self-control and self-control is the essential quality of a good man.”
Shooting
The Wintergreen Sporting Club shooting sport interest groups includes two groups: shotgun (clay and skeet) and pistol and rifle.
The club holds its shooting events at established public and private shooting areas in central Virginia.
This group's more experienced shooting members are happy to offer basic instructions on gun safety and some shooting techniques to members of the club new to the sport. Members new to the shooting sports are encouraged to take a safety course. The National Rifle Association's First Steps Pistol Class is offered at the Rivanna Rifle and Pistol Club and is open to the public for $35. The course is offered about once a month.
The WSC may have intra-club shooting competitions, but most shooting events are informal practice often with post-event luncheon get-togethers.
Questions, suggestions or to volunteer to offer a program or lead an event, members can email shooting@wtgsportingclub.org regarding shotgun and firearms@wtgsportingclub.org regarding pistol and rifle.
