REVERE’S RIDERS

Ohio Joins Revere’s Riders

Revere’s Riders is a 501C3 non-profit. They are affiliated with the Civilian Marksmanship Program, National Rifle Association, and NV Firearms Coalition. Over a hundred volunteers across the nation actively promote traditional marksmanship, American history, and civic engagement.

Revere’s Riders primary goal is to educate the general public in marksmanship. This includes educating the general public on pro-firearms issues, promoting the safe and responsible use of all firearms and range equipment and teaching the safe enjoyment of all areas of shooting sports.

The branch of Revere’s Riders that focuses on history is called Revere’s Messengers. From their website: We believe in the importance of the history that makes up our shared Heritage as Americans. These stories encompass the birth of our country and the growth of the American ideals of Liberty, Responsibility, and Independence.at events hosted by Revere’s Messengers, you will hear true tales of those who founded this country, of their struggles and sacrifices in the American Revolution and beyond.

What is civic engagement? For Revere’s Riders it is the encouragement of the general public to become involved in the political process and the issues that affect all of us.

Upcoming Events (open to the public):

Basic Rifle: April 25-26, 2026

Estimated Ammunition Required: About 200 rounds/day.

Rifle Requirements: You will need a safe rifle chambered in your preferred caliber. Magazine-fed semi-automatic rifles generally work best for our classes, but any other type of rifle (tube-fed pump or semi-automatic, lever-action, bolt-action, etc.) can be used as well. Bring whatever rifle you have and we will work with you. Scopes, red dots or open sights, all are welcome.

Required Equipment: Please review our suggestions for appropriate Basic Rifle equipment and plan to bring the following:

sling for your rifle (a US GI sling is strongly preferred as our instruction will be specific to this sling; loaner slings are typically available at the event)
at least two magazines for your rifle
a way to take notes
hearing protection
eye protection
plenty of your preferred method of hydration (both plain water and something to replace electrolytes you will lose via sweating is ideal)
clothing appropriate for the weather (avoid loose fitting clothing, especially around the neck, as hot brass can lodge against the skin and cause a burn. We also suggest long sleeves for the same reason.)

It is helpful that all ammunition be of the same type (i.e. same weight, manufacturer, etc) for this event. Shooting will primarily be at 25 yards. At some facilities, it may be possible to move out to longer distances, but a rimfire rifle should be just fine for all activities.

Estimated Ammunition Required: About 300 rounds.

Pistol Requirements: You will need a safe semi-automatic pistol with a minimum of two (2) functioning magazines of ten or more round capacity (bringing additional magazines recommended), to fully participate in this course. Pistols should be of a modern, drop safe design.

at least two magazines for your pistol
a case for your pistol
a way to take notes
hearing protection
eye protection
plenty of your preferred method of hydration (both plain water and something to replace electrolytes you will lose via sweating is ideal)
