USPSA - Bogie Firearms Academy

Bogie Firearms Academy runs a two-location operation: classroom instruction in Barnegat, NJ and a private shooting range in Tuckerton, NJ. Rich Bogath leads the academy as a certified NRA Firearms Instructor, certified Range Safety Officer, certified Hunting Instructor, and nationally ranked competition shooter. He also coaches the New Jersey Junior Pistol Team, which placed first and second at the 2015 National Championships.

Bogie runs two junior leagues:

Precision Pistol – Junior shooters ages 10-12 competing in bullseye/precision pistol matches, some advancing to Camp Perry nationals.

Junior Action Shooting – Instruction in Steel Challenge, USPSA, IPSC, and Multi-Gun competitions. Classes held second and fourth Sundays at Central Jersey Rifle & Pistol Club in Jackson, NJ. No club membership required. Instructors provide firearms, ammunition, targets, and shooting games. Parents can participate with their own equipment.

"Our instruction is careful, emphasizing safety more than anything, meticulous, slow in pace, high in reward and structured for any age group or skill level."

You don't "buy" membership to BFA. Instead, when you take any class, course, or seminar, you automatically gain access to shoot the private range with other BFA students and instructors to practice techniques learned in class.
