As summer winds down and the crisp air of early fall starts to roll in, September offers an ideal opportunity to focus on firearms skills training. Whether you’re a seasoned shooter looking to refine your technique or a beginner eager to build a strong foundation, The Shooting Academy provides the perfect setting to sharpen your skills this time of year.
The Advantages of September Training
Many shooters think of spring and summer as the prime seasons for range time, but September has its own unique benefits. From weather conditions to range availability, there are several reasons why this month stands out for training.
1. Comfortable Weather for Focused Practice
Early fall weather is often cooler and more comfortable than the heat of midsummer. At The Shooting Academy, this means you can spend longer periods on the range without battling high temperatures or humidity. The more comfortable you are, the more energy and focus you can devote to improving your stance, grip, trigger control, and accuracy.
2. Less Crowded Range Time
With the busy summer travel season behind us and schools back in session, September often brings fewer crowds to the range. This gives you more uninterrupted time and space to work with instructors, experiment with different drills, and progress at your own pace. Fewer distractions mean more effective practice sessions.
3. Preparing for Hunting Season
For hunters, September is a critical month for preseason preparation. Whether you’re fine-tuning your rifle or practicing with a shotgun, spending time at the range now can boost your confidence and ensure accuracy when it matters most. The Shooting Academy offers the environment and instruction you need to enter hunting season ready and capable.
4. A Great Time to Set New Goals
September marks a natural transition point in the year. It’s the perfect time to evaluate your current skill level, set new shooting goals, and track your progress heading into the end of the year. By committing to training now, you can finish the year strong and enter the next season with improved performance.
