Course Fee (normally $115.00): $65.00 paid in full at time of registration or FREE for youth students (under age 18).
Costs for this class are partly covered (-$50 per student ages 18 and older and -$115 for youth under 18) by AIM-COMM, the Alaska Interior Markmanship Committee, as part of our mission and purpose to foster the development of marksmanship, the safe and ethical use of firearms and to support youth education and marksmanship opportunities in our community.
AIM-COMM is able to provide more training opportunities for the community and reduce some course fees as a direct result of financial support from our permittee contract relationship with the gaming operator of Lotto Alaska.
