Welcome back to WAMA!! We are proceeding with the hopes that we will be able to conduct the normal overnight WAMA in Sept. If that does not work out, we will adapt and overcome. As of now, Aug 11th, here are the course offerings for September.
Marksmanship Training – limited to 20 cadets.
This class is provided through the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Hunter Education program and the NRA. They will provide the instructors and firearms and conduct all the training. This is the official NRA program that allows cadets to fire rifles and to qualify for the marksmanship medal that is worn on the blues uniform.

There is an extra cost for this course along with the usual WAMA fee also to cover the materials, use of firearms, cleaning supplies, and medals.
