Want to learn to shoot? This is how you do it and support Jewish community security at the same time.

CTRI and XCAL Shooting Sports are hosting a beginner-friendly pistol class in Ashburn on May 20. XCAL’s instructors will walk you through firearm safety, basic marksmanship, and gear selection in a structured, welcoming environment. No experience necessary. Firearm rentals included if needed.

$100. Proceeds support CTRI — a Jewish community organization that trains and licenses our own community members as armed security officers to protect synagogues, schools, and Jewish events across the DC region. Learn more at CTResponse.org.

Space is limited.

Accommodations: None

Organization: Collective Threat Response Initiative (CTRI)
